Not negotiable was to pay 14 USD or 251 Mexican pesos per person. The shower is equipped with a large and a small bucket - refillable outside the door. We saw the back of a baby whale. We left the boat on foot through the water. Fellow passengers showed us photos of how they were allowed to touch whales in Guerrero Negro yesterday. There are great campsites in San Ignacio from 200 Mexican pesos per vehicle and the town is very picturesque.

Camping is now US $10 per person (non negotiable). The campground is simple but clean.

The restaurant is good and you can pay everything by card. Staff is friendly. The tour was good, we saw whales.

The 18 km unpaved part of the road is still horrible. :(

Still a little speechless about this stunning experience.

Short version: we saw whales and it was incredible.

Long version: María in the office in San Ignacio was really helpful and gave the team at the campsite a heads up that we were coming. Ramón and María Alejandra were ready for us and very kind, professional and energetic hosts. The site is beautifully laid out, clean and well cared for. The hot bucket showers are fantastic! The sites are designated but not too close to others and we were lucky to be there with several other fun overlanding couples who were put on the same tour the next day.

WOW! This tour was everything we could have dreamed of. Our panguero (captain) Chopi was a pro and knew just how to approach the whales, which we saw several of. We got to see mom and calf pairs and had the magical privilege of touching them. Chopi gave great instructions about how to touch them and had a wealth of knowledge about them and their behaviors. We also got to see tons of dolphins on the way into and out of the lagoon.

This group is professional, respectful and thoughtful about their work and I’m grateful we got to have this amazing experience with them. The university researchers (supported in part by Kuyimá) on site were equally impressive and interesting to talk to. Read their annual report for lots of info about the whales (Google Laguna San Ignacio Ecosystem Science Program)!

TLDR; this tour and tour group is amazing!

This was, by far, the best whale watching tour I have ever done. There are literally dozens of Grey Whales in Laguna de San Ignacio. You can see the spray from blowholes in every direction you look! The whales will approach your boat, look at you and allow you to touch them. Sometimes we had four whales at our boat at once. 2022 price was 1100 pesos or $55.

This is one of the whale tour agencies. No reservation was required for us. Tour was 55$ and well worth it. We spent the night in our truck camper on site for $16. Beautiful views, windy. Flush toilets and bucket showers all very clean. Restaurant in palapa onsite (we did not eat there) and you can bring your own food into the restaurant to eat if you wish. Free filtered drinking water to fill you bottles (not your camper!). Friendly staff.

We had breakfast here after camping in someone’s yard sorta by accident, but the vegan breaky was the bomb and the staff was sweet and story filled and they speak really good Spanish! And English

Camping is now $8/person. Bucket hot showers, RV toilets as mentioned. I have 3 bars of cell service but won’t load social media. Whale watching was fantastic! $50/person. Saw whales, dolphins, sea lions and many birds.

Great place. We spent one here and other night on the way to. Camping is perfect and so is the sunset.
Clean Shower and WC. Really hot water.
You can hire the tour from Sag Ignacio, where you find the office and where you can get some more info about the tour and area, or just by showing up at the camping.
Easy walk to the village, 2km, best to do at sunset, Nearby there is a oyster farm, 50mxc 12 fresh oysters.
Bring your own wood if you want to make fire

Wow! Best whale watching of the 3 places we’ve been in the last month! We loved Ojo de Lieberman with Panguero Tito, but Ramiro, with Kuyima, was outstanding! We got to be in the midst of mamas and babies, some came right up to us, some went under the panga, 2 blew spray all over us, one wanted to be petted, and just lolled by us, and rotated belly up for a bit. Saw lots of spyhopping, one breaching whale, a possibly mating couple involved in a dance, oh man! Best ever! Plus, besides having Ramiro as a Panguero, the whole staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional. The camp is so clean and well laid out! Campsites are far enough apart to offer lots of privacy. The bathrooms are clean, well stocked, and work well. Did not partake of the bucket showers. Great margaritas in the nice protected main lodge area. It gets windy, so probably best to take your hosts up on the offer of breakfast and dinner. We didn’t, but we’re offered food by other campers, so didn’t have to cook. Loved our experience here in every way!

Very well maintained and clean campground along the shore. Lots of wildlife to see.
Until 15.12 it is offseason and we didn't have to pay. Showers were still closed but toilets were open

Coming from San Ignacio, the first 48km are paved road, the last 20km is horrible washingboard gravel.

We have the place for ourself! Very nice and peaceful. We went to see the whales and were lucky enough to give them a hug!

Report Check-In

Very well-run and professional place. Our camping spot was right on the water and the toilets were clean (it's an RV toilet that you put water in before doing your business and then easily flush after). The whale tours were the highlight - definitely go if they are in the lagoon, we went two days in a row and it was worth every penny. ($50/person)

You can buy meals from them ($12/each) they are ok, next time I think we will only pay for dinner and make our own breakfast and lunch.

Camping right on the water for $12, but really; it's the whale tour you drove out all this way for, didn't you? It's fantastic. The staff are great, it's professional and LOTS OF FUN! Well worth the $50usd

Running water for hand washing, water toilets but manual flush with cup. Also showers powered by solar so your temperature may vary. Really nice staff. Paid $6/person for a camp spot RIGHT on the water. $50/person for the whale tour about 2-2.5 hrs long. You can pay at the camp or you can pay at the storefront in town (back left corner as you enter the square). After the pavement ends, the road is pretty bad. Plan for 1.5 hrs from town center to here.

Clean camp spots along the lagoon, hot water, very professional setup for whale watching tours. Camping is $12 USD. Whale watching tours are $50 USD per person. The camp is about 1.5 hrs drive from the town of San Ignacio. Follow the signs to Laguna San Ignacio, then to Camp Kuyima. First 48 km out of town is paved, remaining is washboard dirt road.
