It’s always nice when Sampers return the car in good shape, inside and outside. We do not require you to return the Sampa completely clean, but if it is exceptionally dirty, requiring difficult stain removal or other special cleaning efforts, we will charge an additional cleaning fee to get it ready for the next Sampers.
Traveling in Baja
Baja California has a wealth of great camping. There are safe private and non private campgrounds on this vast peninsula.
View our recommendations in the “Where to go” page.

In every town you´ll find an abarrotes store (cheapest option) where you can buy everything you need. There are also big supermarkets like Chedraui, La Comer if you are looking for something more specific.
- Yes they are, as long as you make them responsibly. Make sure you select a place that is far from potential fire hazards. And when you’re done, before going to sleep, turn it off, cool the sand with water and bury any remaining embers. Cleanup so that you leave no trace when you leave.
Our 4×4 Sampas won´t have a problem with that, but turtles might. Driving in the sand can cause sand compaction above nests resulting in lower nest success. Also, ocean tides rise many meters twice a day, so please extra conscious and drive at least 30 meters from the water.
Apart from nature, insurance companies won´t cover any damages that happen off road.
We like to give Sampers the thrill of being all by themselves, creating their own individual adventure. However, if you are in trouble or in need of a hand, we´ll be a phone call away. If no service is available, all trucks have a panic button and we will be there as fast as we can.
First thing you need to know, Baja is not the margarita-fueled party scene in Cabo the world has claimed it to be, instead it is a wealth of natural treasures.
Few things you need to know:
