Playa Campamento (Baja California) is located outside the Alfonsina settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Campamento with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach camping experience at this location is absolutely incredible. The beach itself is in a fantastic location."

Aiden Parker

"The beach is incredibly beautiful, although it is a bit remote and requires a 9-kilometer drive on a dirt road to reach. On some days, it can get quite crowded, making it difficult to find a camping spot. The restroom facilities consist of latrine bathrooms, and there are no nearby stores except for one located in a large ranch, which is 12 kilometers away. I would recommend..."
