Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Successfully spent three days and two nights here without a single person from the hotel asking questions or anyone else. No facilities but great view of the harbor and next great view of the hotels private beach that again nobody minded me using. I parked directly in front of the artistic wall mural next to the waterfront with views of the local battleship. Local fish men arrive early around 6am on weekend to load boats so FYI. I actually rate this spot a 9.0 out of 10 considering NO OTHER Hostels or RV parks in the area are in operation due to pandemic or closer down. I do however see a $20 Pension Baja Hotel down the street that is super clean that worked for one day to shower. My next best spot is to drive 50 minutes north to the famous Balandra Beach. Great spot here though for FREE.

Great spot to stay that felt very safe. We arrived around 630pm and got the last available spot so maybe come earlier if you want to secure parking. No public facilities but you can walk around on the beach next door and no one cares. Some locals hanging out on the little dock but they all kept to themselves. Overall a great spot. Stayed two nights.
Report Check-InSpent 2 nights here (Sunday & Monday night) in Pop-up camper & cargo trailer. Sunday night last car playing music on their car stereo left about 8:30. Pretty quiet after that - some dogs barking (couple blocks away off and on). Slept okay though. Fishermen arrived about 6 am. Would definitely stay again.
Report Check-Inno weeks, no Punks.
stood two nights during the week in high season. very quiet at night.
beat time to arrive between 12 p.m an 4 p.m almost empty.
very nice beach from the hotel can be used free.
walking to malecon only 30 minutes.
wal shark tours: Be aware that because of the plankton the sharks eat the visibility under water is always bad. only 3 -5 meters.
but it's worth
Nice big parking lot and room for large or oversized vehicles. The hotel has 24hr security facing the parking and lot is well lit. The local punks come to smoke weed at night but cause no trouble. Decent sleep, feels pretty safe. Usually there are others camping there.
Garbage cans on the beach just on the other side of the mural. Water and beach is dirty here, not for kids or pets.
We spend 5 nights there with no trouble. We just arrive at 6pm and leave early in the morning. Do not stop too close from the gate of military. This is just peacefull except the weekend
Report Check-InAs already indicated, it is a nice spot with a beautiful view of the bay and secured by the security guards of the hotel which is closed.
Report Check-InQuiet sleep on a Tues night. Woke up to police driving by quickly twice around 10pm-12am, otherwise chill. Peaceful morning, quiet.
Report Check-InWe camped in our RV on the street by the hotel, several people came to walk the beach here. National gaurd came to the hotel and stayed 30 to 40 minutes. Police came by and asked how many people in our camper, but didn't ask us to leave. Real Quiet at midnight.
Report Check-InQuiet, peaceful night of sleep. A few locals came by in the evening to enjoy sunset, and restaurant employees arrived in the morning for work, but all very quiet. One other rig stayed overnight. Trash receptacles we’re a bonus!
Returned a few weeks later on a Friday night when an event was taking place at the hotel. Lots of traffic in the parking lot and loud music until 2:30am. Still a lovely little spot, but not as quiet on weekends.
Report Check-InParked right no the water just outside the restaurant area. Was great. Phones worked
Report Check-InSpent a night. Felt very safe. Please keep this place clean and be considerate in parking for early local fishermen.
Report Check-InStayed 3 nights and was great. Felt safe the whole time, had a nice view of the water and boats, and had a small area to set up chairs our front and stretch out. Lots of other vans and rigs in and out the last few days, as well. No amenities but good Verizon signal (back and forth between a few bars of lte or full 3G). Would def come back
Report Check-InGreat spot to stay while in La Paz. We stayed on a wed and thurs night and the first night was peaceful - you can even hear the waves lapping the shore. There was a big concert on Thursday so it was pretty noisy til midnight. There’s trash cans out front and street lights - need some curtains to block out the light to sleep. We had to get there before around sunset to get a spot to stay because there’s not that many spots and there were a couple of big busses. Easy walk into town from here and has a couple bars of cell signal.
Report Check-InEverything as described, stayed here for 1 night without any issues.
Report Check-InGood place for a night or two. Close-ish to the city. The spot is nestled between a Marine base and a restaurant with an all-night security guard, so I felt fairly safe throughout the night. This also seems to be a bit of a late night hangout spot, with a few couples dropping by every few hours, and a few smokers too.
Report Check-InGreat spot. Right on the street by a fisherman’s cove, In front of the hotel. Seems there is a bit of traffic all night but nothing worth moving spots over. Would def stay here again.

Stayed here for 3 days with no issues. A smaller lot & good size for vans. We weren’t the only ones here “stealth” camping. Overall quiet & a nice view for city camping.

Report Check-InEnd of the street parking in front of hotel. couple other rv's here that night. close to mechanic for the morning
Report Check-InStayed here for 2 nights and really liked this spot. It is in front of a hotel but we believe a public lot. Fishermen use the waterfront. An active Navy ship is moored nearby. It is quiet except for barking dogs and a little traffic but is at the end of a road. A few restaurants in easy walking distance. We walked to the malecon from here and also did a whale shark tour while parked here. There are trash cans.
Report Check-InGreat spot, can get noisy on the weekends especially around the 11-1 when ppl show up to play loud music. There are a few street dogs that come and go. But they will also bark at every vehicle that drives by. Would stay again.
