Puerto Zeppelin | Established Campground

January 19th, 2023 by expeditionopenended

This place is STUNNING. The road is pretty bumpy and steep and hugs some
cliffs but if you have your wits about you can do it almost any vehicle. If you do it in 2WD - know what you’re doing. Not great for a trailer.

You get an incredible view when you crest the hill and then drive down onto the property. This is a family-run site so don’t be surprised to do business with a young family member. Everyone is very friendly and hospitable and they’re actively working to build up the amenities. We paid $500 MXN/per night (approx $25) and ended up staying for 2 when we only planned for one. We saw (and heard!) sea lions and amazing shows of crashing waves from the high cliffs. We had a nice dinner (big portions!) at the restaurant and had the place to ourselves the whole time. Several campsites and palapas to choose from. Firewood for sale. Pit toilets (visit the one overlooking the water for a nice view
and loo) and cold showers available (we didn’t use). A true gem well worth visiting!

$25 dry… in a truck with camper. Wow, the road… be sure you want to do it.

Amazing views & perilous drive. $400/night rv camping. Slow Wi-Fi. Decent restaurant onsite. The views are impecable. I drove in with my 2wd 21’ ram promaster and I don’t know if I’d do that again. Definitely the largest vehicle here today including the day visitors. Looks like there’s only two campsites taken tonight. If you look closely at the photo of the mountain, that’s the one lane dirt road getting here.

amazing views in all directions. dramatic waves crashing on rocks. cliff camping. flush toilets. good cell service with booster sometimes. really nice people. big restaurant but no apparent service. I bought drinking water and filled my tank for free using my hose and filter.
the dirt road from C23 is pretty easy. you drive up a big hill and at the top there is a wood and stone structure. Google insists there is 1 road but there are 4. go through the structure and take the left road. it will go down through a series of sharp turns to the place. stop at the boat and someone will take your money and show you where to go. lots of locals pay to spend the day here. 5 stars app won't let me give stars

Really nice spot. Arrived during the holidays so the restaurant was closed, but had the whole place to ourselves! Made it down (more importantly back up) in a 2wd van. We were able to rent kayaks to explore the cove. Beautiful!

As described, beautiful location, still being built, but clean and cool spot to spend the night. We ended up staying a night, getting 2 seafood dinners, 2 huge glasses of sangria, and a few beers. $50USD all up. Most of the parking area is relatively flat.

Great spot by the ocean! Stayed for one night. Paid 350pesos. Access through a quite steep dirt road, but it was ok for a small passenger car, no need for suv or 4x4.
Very peaceful and calm. On a Saturday nights there was just a 3 overnighters.
The ocean views and Cliffs are amazing!

As previously described-we have a ‘90 VW 2wd Vanagon. It’s a very steep road and a large portion is dirt but we managed but wouldn’t recommend in wet weather.
Great views, nice walks.
We paid 700 pesos for 2 nights.

What a beautiful site looking out over the ocean. As previously described but be aware that the roads getting here are steep and just gravel roads. I drive a Land Rover Defender and it was easy but maybe a 2 wheel drive could be more of a challenge. Worth it in the end though so just take care.

A new development with camping, water points, benches, small shelters, fire pits, pit toilets and cold showers. The owners have put a lot of effort into developing the site and have signs asking people not to litter as well as numerous trash bins. Small trees have been planted There is simple a restaurant on site where you can buy potable water and seafood. One can fish here. We only stopped for coffee and did not camp but it's a lovely spot close to the ocean and worth supporting. Judging by the number of parking bays laid out it may get busy over holidays or weekends.
300 Pesos per vehicle to camp, 150 to spend the day here.
