This campsite is located right at the major birthing lagoon for the grey whales.
It is quite isolated and can be a bit lonely.
Often it is flooded so go early before dark so you can ensure this is where you
want to stay. The area has lots of birds and wild life and is a great place to
take picture after picture.
Boat tours: Scammon's Lagoon offers boat tours out into the lagoon. You cannot
launch your own boat in these protected waters. The tours last about 1 1/2 hours
and are probably one of the best values you can have for a tour...last time we
checked -$30 . A bargain.
Bring your camera! You get to see whale after whale. Some bob along the water
and others dive straight up into the air with their noses aimed at the sky- then
sink vertically back down into the waters. Slowly. Meticulously.
Occasionally you
will come across some "friendlies" that allow/want you to pet them. It is truly
amazing and an opportunity you shouldn't miss. Even if you don't camp here, the
whale boat tours are worth the drive and money. This will be something you will
remember for the rest of your life.
Now you can
get detailed directions from the USA/Mexico border right to your
favorite Baja RV park for as little as S7.99 with Ontheroadin/Mexpro
