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.
Big sandy parking behind the salt factory, right at a lagoon. be prepared: some folks checking out their newest car hifi at night and having a party... but safe!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Gravel space by the water. At this location but not behind the salt factory? Greta birdwatching spot.
A busy spot with locals going for a drive and hanging out in true Mexican tradition. Sure it’s noisy but everyone’s friendly. If you don’t like noise then pay for an RV park.
Location shown on map no longer accessible. Perimeter road around salt factory now blocked by large tires laid across road at either end.
I parked at blockage on South at sunset. I was not hassled. On a Tuesday night there weren't any Stereo wars or more than a couple cars driving up to the barrier and u turning.
Report Check-InNo recomiendo el lugar de ninguna manera, por lo menos si es fin de semana. Llegamos cuando ya era oscuro y nos quedamos porque vimos otro RV estacionado. Estaba todo tranquilo, a pesar de algún movimiento. Después de las 22h empezaron a llegar más y más autos con música fuerte y mucho ruido de motores haciendo maniobras inseguras (hasta muy cerca de nuestro vehículo). Ya no daba para irse a ningún otro lado, era muy tarde. Poco después de las 5h mi pareja salió de la cama porque sintió que alguien nos golpeó el vehículo, nada en serio, pero nos dejó preocupados. Por fin a las 7 más o menos se fueron y pudimos dormir tranquilos por una hora. Una pesadilla!
Report Check-InDid not feel safe! My boyfriend and I parked our van at the bird sanctuary entrance in the big sandy parking lot. Noticed quite a bit of traffic because it was a Friday night, so it seemed safe ...but a half hour later at around 9:30pm my boyfriend saw two vehicles pull up behind us with their lights, one guy jumped from the car to the truck and they pulled up beside us. My boyfriend was having a smoke outside and the first man walked right up to him at the van, starring and then started speaking in Spanish, small talk. Definitely quite drunk, maybe in drugs also. His buddy came up as well and starting trying to chit chat, also very drunk. Then the first guy went to the back of the truck and was unravelling some rope from a fishing net and gesturing at my boyfriend to get in the back of the truck, he pointed to this about 5 times. I stayed in the van as this was playing out. Then they offered some beers but my boyfriend said he’s got to go to bed and backed into our van when the two guys went to the back of the truck to get something.
We didn’t want to wait to find out what they were getting, obviously way too drunk to pull off anything. My boyfriend got in, locked the doors and we drove away and went straight to the paid Malarrimo RV park near the entrance of town.
The following day we met someone in Santa Rosalía and they mentioned that Guerrero Negro is having a “hard time”.
