Octavio's Camp, Puertecitos (Km. 74.5)
Tent-camped here 1 night with my dog. Planned to stay here 2 nights but the wind the next morning forced me to move back up to San Felipe. The beach is secluded with large palapas & grill. Not difficult to drive regular car onto beach near palapa. Typical run-down bathrooms/showers. Located at Playa Escondida in a cove so can be windy. My biggest complaint was the vehicles towing boats in the a.m. & p.m. and some noise from barking dogs at night. 50 mxn/night/person

Short story: Would not recommend this place
Long Story: We showed up as the sun was setting and our hand was pretty much forced to stay here, as we didn't want to drive at night. Off the highway we passed through and old open gate to a small fishing village. The first palapas we came to are mentioned on this app, just to the north. Some kid told us 600 pesos to stay at these run down palapas. Tried to negotiate but it didn't work out so we moved on to Octavio's. Apparently Octavio died about 3 years ago and it appears his campground hasn't seen upkeep since then. Two unoccupied, broke down trailers were on the beach but otherwise is was just us. A 'Roberto' charged us 300 pesos for the night but said he normally charges 400. There are toilets but I'd rather dig a hole somewhere than use these. The village you drive through is incredibly poor and this camp is a sort of passageway for locals to get to the main road, so people drove by late into the night and early morning. Also, with much of Baha, the wind doesn't stop.
Look, this is our last night in Baha. We have been camping down here for 17 days, all the way to Cabo and back and this was the first place I felt uncomfortable. It was 3x more expensive than anywhere else we camped and gave me weird vibes. Avoid Octavio's and stay at the palapas near the gas station south of here instead. At least that's what we should have done
The currently price is MXN 150/night. We asked If is negotiable, the owner sayed yes but without shower. We don't stay. Only cold shower is MXN 30.
