If you get too far away from the car, even in the mountains, you may encounter a water problem. It is also dry and can be numbingly hot, especially during the summer months. Our overall recommendation is that you visit during the rest of the year. Keep in mind that conditions in Baja change frequently. The campgrounds are in a continuing state of flux.
New ones pop up and existing ones disappear as they are taken over for other types of development.
Heavy rains may wipe out a road temporarily or even permanently. Never go off the beaten track without checking locally on whether your particular vehicle is suitable for driving on that terrain at that particular time. Nothing is more miserable than getting stuck or breaking down in a remote spot. Remember that there has always been an unwritten code among locals and tourists alike that you aid anyone in trouble. That much said, the Baja possesses many miles of some of the most lovely and unspoiled beaches in the world.
