I used to go down about once a month surfing, etc. when I lived in San Diego. It's been > 25 years for me now and my girlfriend has never been down so it'll be pretty new to both of us. Many places that were not accessible then, are now by road and many places now, you also need reservations! I guess they call that progress (but that's why I left SD).
The best places still don't need reservations..

That is probably true and I hope to find some new locations/camping spots thanks to various people on this forum and the bajanomad forum.

I forgot to mention El Marmol or Catavina.
Both are close by to Hyway 1and provide good camping .
Catavina is on most all maps....a very small village. The camping would be any side sand road in the mile or so north of the village.
There are spectacular Boojum trees here along with some pretty remarkable bolder formations...wind sculpted.
El Marmol is a old Onyx mine also well marked on most maps....south of El Rosario.
It is an easy flat drive into the mine site.....and there is lots of onyx to see along with an active cold geyser a mile or so past the mine that is actually onyx in the formation.
Look em up and enjoy.

We use iOverlander to help locate good spots to camp. The app (for iPhone and Android) is free and works offline. We try and find our own too, but it is nice to have the security of a confirmed place to sleep after a long day on the road.

That looks great and I'll download it!
Thanks.

Thank you! We're also heading to Baja in a couple of weeks and you've just given us another great resource for the trip.
