La Gringa is located at the North end of Bahia de los Angeles.  It is a popular camping spot especially for fishermen as it is a short run over to Smith Island and other prime fishing areas.

At present, there is still a fence that runs parallel to the beach along much of the La Gringa area.  This is due to an ownership dispute but camping is still permitted and you can still access the beaches.  

You will notice a white motorhome with some fencing supplies stored around it.  This is where the fellow who looks after things out there is located.  As of Feb. 10th, 2007 when I spoke with him directly, camping was $5 per night per vehicle.  Plan on being totally self contained when camping.

There are many dirt tracks leading to a variety of locations at La Gringa and beyond.  Take it slow and careful and enjoy the scenery too!

To get there, follow the signs in town for La Gringa.  The paved portion of the road will end right about at the Military installation.  From that point on, it's rough going with some severe washboard.  Air down, and take it easy on your way out.  There is a long gravel bar with a steep sloping beach that many folks like to camp at.  If you follow the roads over the hills to the North, there are other very nice, more remote campsites.

It's a beautiful spot and well worth traveling the washboard road to get there..
