    Accessible, affordable, and available. It's $12 per car for the night, $5 for firewood. Running cold showers, working bathrooms, and plenty of spots. Apparently it used to be packed on weekends before the recession and it's just now starting to get busier again. We felt like it was safe enough, no sketchy characters noticed. Being only a two and half hour drive from Orange County, it's a very doable weekend trip. There are some restaurant/bars with great ocean views and strong margaritas. A good refuge from the midday sun. Surf is decent there. It's a beach break that can handle decently large swells, but it's a paddle and a half to get out. Comparable to Ponto, Trails, or Goldenwest.

    Favorite spot to came at in Mexico! My family and I have gone here 4 times during the summer! Cheap entrance fee but also depends on the season you are coming but still reasonable price! Our door showers only (beach style). Bathrooms can sometimes get dirty from over usage and clogged but owners maintain as much as they can. All slots are first come first serve . The beach is a 5 minute walk down and local restaurants are 10 minutes walk from the campground! Everyone is friendly. Coming back as an annual camping trip!

    Came here a couple months ago for a camping trip. Stayed at Alisitos for a night in the back of my friends truck bed. During the day we swam and played around on the beach. Water was nice- dark and cold though. This place is not sketchy and is super safe. You can bring beers and whatever else down to the beach with you. There are outside showers and bathrooms too. Bring your own TP! This is not a luxury spot. There is the Alisitos hotel right there too. We ate there for lunch. It was good. Nothing special. There is also a lot of young people to meet, and also a guy that will take you up in his little makeshift plane. Cool spot for camping!! $11/day

    Clean campground in a fairly central location. Only downfall is the open showers, no privacy.

The most accurate directions are on Google maps if you type in "Glamping Ruta de Arte y Vino". Some of the roads are now blocked, so it's best to come from Camino a Las Lomas/Emiliano Zapata rather than Hwy 3. Then, you'll pass by La Cocina de Dona Esthela and then Hacienda la Lomita. Once you arrive, you'll find a peaceful area with 5 cute little Airstreams and trailers. You'll also meet Cesar, who is very friendly and obviously loves what he does. The area is really communal. There's a central outdoor covered living space with couches and a fridge and a bonfire area. Behind that are the trailers, each with their own outdoor seating area. There's also a small outhouse and shower. At night, it's incredibly quiet as you're pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. You can see a full sky full of stars, and there's even a telescope you can use. The inside of the trailers are clean and modest. After Cesar showed us some of the other trailers that he was fixing up, you begin to have a huge appreciation for all of the work he put into refurbishing these old trailers (some are from the 1950-60s!). We stayed in the Avion, which had a full bed and two twin beds. It was one of the larger trailers. The outhouse was surprisingly clean for what it was, but just keep in mind that this is pretty much a campground, so an outhouse is still an outhouse. The shower was comfortable and there was hot water. Everyone staying here is friendly and young, so it can get rowdy on the weekends (until about midnight). We didn't have any problems, but if you have trouble sleeping, you'll want to stay in a trailer further from the communal area. I highly recommend this place if you want a retreat and enjoy unique experiences, but don't mind not having some standard hotel luxuries.

    I love discovering new and fun things to do and experience! I came across this website and saw how…read moredifferent it was from any other place in Valle de Guadelupe, I knew I had to check it out. Now typically, we stay at Casa Encinares when we are down here, but they were completely booked during Valentines weekend so when we contacted this place, they surprisingly still had two airstreams available. The booking process was very easy as they were very informative and spoke descent enough english. We were lucky as the owners here knew our friends down in the area, so it made the reservation process much...MUCH easier. But if you want to book, I would still recommend going through their Airbnb listing or through their website! Let me just say, the place is hard to find! Do not use the coordinates on google maps as it will direct you to a dead end. Instead, use the address for La Cocina de Dona Esthella (a restaurant nearby), then from there, use the directions to go to the camp ground on google maps. We arrive pretty late at night but I contacted them to let them know. Once we got there, I was like a giggy little girl seeing some magical unicorn for the first time! It was dark, but all I see are airstreams lit up with lights. We walked up to the "common area" where the owner, Cesar, happened to be chatting with other guests. Cesar speaks good english so no problems with communications. He greeted us with glasses of wine then showed us our airstream and asked if we wanted to check out the other ones. I noticed that there was a better one available than what he had booked us in and asked if he would allow us to switch and he did not hesitate one bit to accommodate us! All the airstreams are renovated absolutely beautifully! There are no running waters inside the airstream (no toilet or kitchen usage), but there is an outhouse (yes, you have to poop and pee into a hole), and a man-made wooden shower with running water (yes, the water is heated). There is also a jacuzzi but at the time we went, it too cold to be used. The covered common area has plenty of seating, a hammock, and table with wine, coffee, water for the guests. There are also two beach cruiser bikes for the guests to use. Each airstream has its own grill situated outside the trailer, you just have to bring your own supplies for it. There are also lots of fire pits throughout the camp grounds so bring your own firewood! Our Valentines weekend here was so perfect! Our rooms (trailer) was decorated with so much love! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and peacefulness of our entire stay there! We met awesome friends at the camp grounds and even went to breakfast with them down the road at La Cocina de Dona Esthella. Enjoyed the stay so much that we already booked for our next trip here with our friends!

There are a number of different part of the point that you can surf too. I'd bring the booties because climbing in and out off the rocks is a lot easier with 'em than without 'em. I've never stepped on an urchin, but know plenty of guys who have. I am pretty sure you can camp here for an additional fee, but the camp site is kind of average, gotta bring all your own stuff. They do have a bathroom which is a relief after coming in off of the free road. It is kind of complicated to get there with the toll road still being shut down. The entrance to the parking is about 100 meters past the Ensenada toll plaza on the right hand side. Once they get that road back up it will save you a lot of time. There is a bit of a development planned that could be detrimental to the wave, or to surfers having access. Sometimes the mega projects have some 'unforeseen' externalities. I thought this article on surfline was pretty cool. It looks like they are trying to turn this into a State Park. http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/surfnews/san-miguel-needs-your-help-in-becoming-bajas-first-state-park_120554/

The problem lies with the residents. At any moment you may be approached by a resident taking it upon themselves to police the campground visitors and impose their own version of the rules. My last visit there I was attacked by an American immigrant tenant who seemed drunk or drugged. He called me and my spouse all sorts of racial and sexist slurs and my dog was not spared from racial slurs either. All because he didn't think our dog was on a leash when in fact he was. The staff sided with us assured us this resident would be evicted because there is zero tolerance for this type of behavior, but I am not sure this actually happened. Idk if we want to go back there knowing how much of a menace these residents, especially the American ones, can be toward visitors.

Quite hairy at times getting there. And on a narrow two way road overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views though. After arriving at La Bufadora's parking lot, a huge shoutout to the driver for getting us there safely. And before stepping off the bus our guide Roxanne gave us a prep talk on what to expect. Of course its main destination is their famous blowhole. While the taco spot Lidia's Grill is also extremely popular. Riders were even given the option of bringing their tacos back to the bus to enjoy while riding back to Ensenada. But before reaching that very popular blowhole, we were given advice about first weaving our way through the huge marketplace and its very aggressive hawkers. "If not interested just ignore them." Think LA's Olvera Street on steroids if you've ever been there. And much larger, at least a quarter of a mile in length with everything imaginable being offered. But Roxanne boldly guided us through and finally we reached the blowhole and the beautiful scenery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then you're left to take in the views on your own. Just remember to head back to the bus to reboard by 2:10 for our return bus ride back to the port. And conditions were right for amazing bursts of waves from the blowhole. While some spent almost the entire time at Lidia's putting in and awaiting their taco orders. It's that popular.
