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.

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.

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!

All in all not a bad guidebook but definitely geared towards RV camping. We spent our time camping in tents and on beaches and this guidebook left a little to be desired.

this was recommended to me by a very experienced RV camper as one of the best authors for camping guides. I was not disappointed.

My first copy wore out from use and I actually had to buy another copy!!! I wrote all over it, made notes in the margins, and carried it everywhere, it literally wore out. That is how much I loved and used and relied on this book. The best book for Baja camping ever! The ONLY book I will use in Baja.

It has almost everything what is necessary. Need to have info about cell phone coverage in Baja.

Get this book and you'll be leaving on your trip in no time. Complete logistical guide with an overview of everything you'll need from border info, gas, ATM's, etc makes it incredibly easy. Set off using their sample itinerary or just hit the road and find the right campground in each region. On a given night, you can choose from a rustic boondock to a full service RV park using the services and pricing key and complete descriptions included with each campground. As a testament to the quality of this book, ask every gringo you see while in Baja what's in their library and I bet 99% of them have a dog-eared copy of this book on the seat next to them. We even pulled into Campo #5 overlooking La Bufadora (check our site in my profile for a trip report) and the 8 year-old kid collecting our $6 said "Tengo el mismo libro" - even he had the book!

We recommend this to anyone who camps in the Baja!

This book explains very well the risk of the voyage. It gives very good tricks. One suggests there a way to take and there is the list of all the camp-site. Very nice purchase for me.
