Product Description

Offering invaluable sightseeing tips, advice on fun activities, and detailed descriptions of campgrounds, this grand tour of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula provides both RV and tent campers with the best resources for planning a vacation chock-full of beachcombing, back-roads exploring, golf, fishing, whale watching, and water sports. The tour centers around one of the most interesting highways in the world—a two-lane ribbon of asphalt winding southward to Cabo San Lucas, from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez and back again—and includes important information on border crossings, document requirements, vehicle preparation, and road conditions. In addition to describing the formal campgrounds of Baja—and featuring location maps, recreational opportunities, lists of facilities, and driving instructions from nearby towns and routes—this guide also provides telephone numbers, websites, e-mail addresses, GPS coordinates, and picture icons that offer a convenient, quick review of each campground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide, July 28, 2004

By	Richard Babione (Livingston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Camping Mexico's Baja (Paperback)

We've traveled in Baja California three times and wouldn't do it without this book. Roads, campgrounds, gas stations, all are described in detail and tell you what to expect. Everything you need to know about crossing the border is here. Even on our first trip, we felt fully prepared. We could select what we wanted to see and where we wanted to stay, confident that our trip would be as described in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably The Best on The Baja, March 20, 2005

By	I. C. Codex "old volume" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Camping Mexico's Baja (Paperback)

It is the best book on Camping in Mexico's Baja that I've seen.
I especially liked the section on "Puerto Penasco" which is very
seldom included in any RV book. If you only buy one book on RV'ing in the BAJA, make sure this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and detailed guidebook, January 23, 2008

By	Corinne Mckay - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Camping Mexico's Baja: Explore Baja and Puerto Penasco With Your RV or Tent (Traveler's Guide series) (Paperback)

Although this book is definitely oriented toward RV camping, it is extremely thorough and detailed with much better information about Baja campgrounds than is included in general travel guides. We tent camped in Baja for two weeks and used this book extensively, and we were never disappointed with the quality of the information. The authors very helpfully give a bit of the flavor/atmosphere of each campground, and include other very useful information about gas stations, side trips, nearby attractions, etc. I would definitely purchase another guidebook in this series!
