The United States boasts countless wonders across its landscape for RVers to explore. However, for adventurous RVers, a trip south of the border to the Estados Unidos Mexicanos, or Mexico, offers unique experiences. This Mexican state is perfect for those who seek adventure without straying too far from home. Take a look at a map, and the tip trailing off of California, known as Baja California, will catch your eye. Let’s delve into the top five RV parks, grounds, and sites to visit in Baja California.

Estero Beach Hotel and Resort: Ensenada

This family-friendly Mexican resort has welcomed families since the 1950s, emphasizing hospitality that extends to their RV park. The park features 38 spacious RV sites equipped with all essential utilities (electric, water, and sewer) situated on level concrete pads. Estero Beach Hotel and Resort is adorned with vibrant landscaping and offers stunning views of the Bay just steps from your RV. Clean bathrooms and showers are available for post-adventure clean-ups. Amenities in the park include a swimming pool with a hot tub, playground, rec center, laundry facilities, and round-the-clock security staff.

As part of the larger resort, guests can enjoy nearby attractions such as an indoor/outdoor bar, a Mexican culture museum, on-site fine dining, and more. Engage in kayaking, jet skiing, relaxing on the beach, or trying your hand at Flyboarding. For those eager to explore, nearby options include horseback riding, ziplining, hiking, and the remarkable “blowhole” of La Bufadora. Don’t miss the opportunity to swim with whale sharks at Bahia de Los Angeles!

Club de Pesca RV Park: San Felipe

The picturesque fishing town of San Felipe is home to Club de Pesca RV Park. You can choose from several sites right on the beach. For those who enjoy modern conveniences, full utility hookups are available with your choice of 20, 30, or 50 amp electric. Alternatively, you can opt for a more budget-friendly dry-camping site. Amenities include bathrooms, showers, a general store, wireless internet access, and 24-hour onsite security.

Club de Pesca is a short distance from vibrant downtown San Felipe. If nightlife appeals to you, check out Rockadille for a lively dance scene. Conversely, if you prefer a peaceful beach experience, South Beach is recommended. Anglers will appreciate the local fishing opportunities, while many simply savor the beautiful vistas of San Felipe. Timing your visit for May coincides with the International Chili Cook-Off, a local favorite.

Rancho Sordo Mudo: Guadalupe

For a heartfelt RV experience, consider Rancho Sordo Mudo, primarily a charitable school for deaf children in Baja California. Proceeds from the RV park support this important cause. While amenities are simple, the park offers full utility hookups, showers, and bathrooms, all nestled among olive and palm trees that create a tranquil atmosphere.

The surrounding area of Guadalupe is a haven for wine lovers, with numerous vineyards dotting the landscape. Take the opportunity to tour local wineries like Trevista and Monte Xanic, or choose from dozens of others. Additionally, volunteer opportunities at Rancho Sordo Mudo allow you to contribute even further while enjoying your stay.

Daggett’s Beach Camping & Resort Fishing: Bahia de los Angeles

Baja Mexico is renowned for legendary sport fishing. If this is your passion, Daggett’s Beach Camping and Resort Fishing is the perfect destination. While primarily a hotel, Daggett’s offers RV camping spots right on the Sea of Cortez, although these sites do not feature utility hookups. However, many reviewers agree that it is “dry camping at its best.” Essential facilities such as clean restrooms, showers, and a dump station are readily available.

While sport fishing is the primary attraction, the local area provides more diversions, such as whale watching, fascinating ancient churches, diverse dining options, local entertainment, and exciting off-road racing tracks. If you visit during the first week of February, you can partake in the excitement of the Bahia 200, one of the area’s biggest races.

Old Mill RV Park: San Quintin

The Old Mill RV Park has a rich history dating back to the 19th century and has undergone renovations resulting in a modern hotel and a separate RV park. This RV park features 20 spaces right by the water, with most sites offering essential utility hookups alongside dry camping options. While amenities are limited to restrooms and hot showers, the stunning waterfront view more than compensates.

San Quintin is a well-liked sport fishing destination, drawing visitors eager to experience its fishing opportunities. Within a mile of Old Mill RV Park, you can find several sport fishing companies. For a casual atmosphere, visit Gato’s Baja Hangout or enjoy the local catch at nearby Old Mill Villa de Pescadores. It’s all about food, fishing, and fun at Old Mill RV Park.

Embarking on an RV adventure in Baja California is a fantastic way to explore the unique charm of Mexico. Remember to conduct thorough research to enhance your experience!
