Great camp spot that overlooks the ocean with a nice walking path down to the beach. $12 USD/ 250 pesos a night. The beach wasn't crowded and is a great beach to hangout at. Nice sized waves for surfing too. We got there on a Thursday and there were only a few only people camped there-- we could choose anywhere to park our car. It did get pretty busy by noon on Friday. Get here early if you are coming on a weekend! Lots of surfers in the water on the weekends as well. There is communal shower area and bathrooms which were both clean. Bring your own TP and soap. The only downside of this camp ground was the trash (or sewage) smelled really bad and would waft through the air. There was also a lot of trash on the ground (cig buds and beer cans) but besides that we really enjoyed this spot and would definitely stay here again. Also, great margs and live music on Thursday nights at the hotel. You can walk their from the beach.

Playa Ensenada is a very cool beach.

On a huge stretch along the middle there are no structures to be seen from the beach, which makes it very scenic and natural. Just a long stretch of sand with a gentle slope into the Pacific Ocean. The water stays shallow for a long ways into the ocean. You could probably still stand up about 50 yards out there, but the water was too cold in April to stay in that long to find out. We'll be back in Summer to try. People walk their dogs unleashed and the sun glistens off the water. Pure sand and no rocks, this beach is a delight. Wide open to the ocean, there can be strong rip currents. For a beach dude like me it rates a 4.5 stars, so I'll round it up to 5 stars.

Quite hairy at times getting there. And on a narrow two way road overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views though. After arriving at La Bufadora's parking lot, a huge shoutout to the driver for getting us there safely. And before stepping off the bus our guide Roxanne gave us a prep talk on what to expect. Of course its main destination is their famous blowhole. While the taco spot Lidia's Grill is also extremely popular. Riders were even given the option of bringing their tacos back to the bus to enjoy while riding back to Ensenada. But before reaching that very popular blowhole, we were given advice about first weaving our way through the huge marketplace and its very aggressive hawkers. "If not interested just ignore them." Think LA's Olvera Street on steroids if you've ever been there. And much larger, at least a quarter of a mile in length with everything imaginable being offered. But Roxanne boldly guided us through and finally we reached the blowhole and the beautiful scenery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then you're left to take in the views on your own. Just remember to head back to the bus to reboard by 2:10 for our return bus ride back to the port. And conditions were right for amazing bursts of waves from the blowhole. While some spent almost the entire time at Lidia's putting in and awaiting their taco orders. It's that popular.

You can't always get in the water due to the high bacteria levels, even though it does look clean and clear, it unfortunately is not. But even when it's deemed safe to swim, I would never get into the water here in Baja. There are some areas where there's a little bit of trash but it's way high up past where you walk. It kind of looks like there's some spots where people hang out at night with fire pits, and then leave their bit of trash behind. Along the way you'll see a high condo like building that was abandoned and unfinished where there's some big dirt heaps that's now used by dirt bikers as a ramp. And apparently you can actually drive right onto the sand, but we did see a big truck almost get stuck, so best to have a 4x4 if you're gonna drive your way to the water.

The entire perimeter is fenced in with a security guard at the entrance who keeps tabs on everyone in the complex. A 2 bedroom home can accommodate 4 guests, and they are strict about this. You will not be allowed to have additional guests even for a few hours, therefore it is very safe and private. I love the architecture which ranges from Mexican Baroque to traditional Spanish Colonial and the entire compound has cobblestone streets and cement walking paths. There are several little gardens of roses and other lovely flowers making this a great place to take walks and enjoy the scenery. The large pool/jacuzzi area has plenty of lounge chairs and shaded seating, a shuffleboard court, a gym, and a banquet room. There is also a large surfing beach with several sturdy palapas for all guests and owners to use. A visit to Las Gaviotas is certainly a treat.

The most accurate directions are on Google maps if you type in "Glamping Ruta de Arte y Vino". Some of the roads are now blocked, so it's best to come from Camino a Las Lomas/Emiliano Zapata rather than Hwy 3. Then, you'll pass by La Cocina de Dona Esthela and then Hacienda la Lomita. Once you arrive, you'll find a peaceful area with 5 cute little Airstreams and trailers. You'll also meet Cesar, who is very friendly and obviously loves what he does. The area is really communal. There's a central outdoor covered living space with couches and a fridge and a bonfire area. Behind that are the trailers, each with their own outdoor seating area. There's also a small outhouse and shower. At night, it's incredibly quiet as you're pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. You can see a full sky full of stars, and there's even a telescope you can use. The inside of the trailers are clean and modest. After Cesar showed us some of the other trailers that he was fixing up, you begin to have a huge appreciation for all of the work he put into refurbishing these old trailers (some are from the 1950-60s!). We stayed in the Avion, which had a full bed and two twin beds. It was one of the larger trailers. The outhouse was surprisingly clean for what it was, but just keep in mind that this is pretty much a campground, so an outhouse is still an outhouse. The shower was comfortable and there was hot water. Everyone staying here is friendly and young, so it can get rowdy on the weekends (until about midnight). We didn't have any problems, but if you have trouble sleeping, you'll want to stay in a trailer further from the communal area. I highly recommend this place if you want a retreat and enjoy unique experiences, but don't mind not having some standard hotel luxuries.

Now typically, we stay at Casa Encinares when we are down here, but they were completely booked during Valentines weekend so when we contacted this place, they surprisingly still had two airstreams available. The booking process was very easy as they were very informative and spoke descent enough english. We were lucky as the owners here knew our friends down in the area, so it made the reservation process much...MUCH easier. But if you want to book, I would still recommend going through their Airbnb listing or through their website! Let me just say, the place is hard to find! Do not use the coordinates on google maps as it will direct you to a dead end. Instead, use the address for La Cocina de Dona Esthella (a restaurant nearby), then from there, use the directions to go to the camp ground on google maps. We arrive pretty late at night but I contacted them to let them know. Once we got there, I was like a giggy little girl seeing some magical unicorn for the first time! It was dark, but all I see are airstreams lit up with lights. We walked up to the "common area" where the owner, Cesar, happened to be chatting with other guests. Cesar speaks good english so no problems with communications. He greeted us with glasses of wine then showed us our airstream and asked if we wanted to check out the other ones. I noticed that there was a better one available than what he had booked us in and asked if he would allow us to switch and he did not hesitate one bit to accommodate us! All the airstreams are renovated absolutely beautifully! There are no running waters inside the airstream (no toilet or kitchen usage), but there is an outhouse (yes, you have to poop and pee into a hole), and a man-made wooden shower with running water (yes, the water is heated). There is also a jacuzzi but at the time we went, it too cold to be used. The covered common area has plenty of seating, a hammock, and table with wine, coffee, water for the guests. There are also two beach cruiser bikes for the guests to use. Each airstream has its own grill situated outside the trailer, you just have to bring your own supplies for it. There are also lots of fire pits throughout the camp grounds so bring your own firewood! Our Valentines weekend here was so perfect! Our rooms (trailer) was decorated with so much love! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and peacefulness of our entire stay there! We met awesome friends at the camp grounds and even went to breakfast with them down the road at La Cocina de Dona Esthella. Enjoyed the stay so much that we already booked for our next trip here with our friends!
