Dry Camping in Mulegé: Read This Before You Roll In
Most RV camping around Mulegé and Bahía Concepción is dry camping.
No hookups. No power pedestal. No water spigot at your site.
Just you, your rig, your tanks, and the most ridiculous bay views you’ve probably seen in your life. RVing Baja+2A Couple of Drifters+2
If you’ve never dry camped before—or only done it “by accident”—this guide will walk you through:
- What “dry camping” actually means here
- How to prep your rig for Bahía Concepción
- How to handle water, power, and waste
- And how Flora Farms Mulegé helps make the whole thing simpler
What Is Dry Camping?
Simple version:
Dry camping = camping with no hookups.
- No water connection at your site
- No sewer hookup
- No electrical hookup
You bring:
- Your own water
- Your own power source (solar / generator / big battery bank)
- Your own waste tanks
Around Bahía Concepción, even many “paid” beaches are still dry camping, often with basic toilets, some palapas, and maybe cold showers or a simple dump option. RVing Baja+2A Couple of Drifters+2
At Flora Farms Mulegé (Phase One) it’s also dry camping—but on private land with space, a clear plan for upgrades, and a direct connection to fresh food.
Why Dry Camping Is Worth It in Mulegé & Bahía Concepción
Pros:
- You can park in locations you’d never get in a hookup park
- It’s usually cheaper per night than full-hookup resorts
- You’re closer to nature, water, and stars
- You learn what your rig can actually do
On Bahía Concepción, dry camping gets you:
- Beachfront or bay-view spots
- Chill, long-term snowbird community if you want it
- The kind of silence at night you can’t fake
If you’re willing to manage your own systems, this area is paradise.
How to Prep Your RV for Dry Camping in Mulegé
1. Tanks & Water
Before you head to the bay or Flora Farms Mulegé:
- Fill fresh water
- Empty gray and black tanks
- Know where your closest reliable dump station is (usually Mulegé or another service spot on your route)
Plan for:
- Longer showers? No.
- Navy showers and quick rinse-offs? Yes.
- Use wipes and washcloths to stretch water when needed.
At Flora Farms Mulegé:
- You arrive self-contained for dry camping
- As infrastructure grows, there will be better options for long stays and services—but for now, assume you manage your own tanks
2. Power
You’ve got three main tools:
- Solar – perfect for sunny Baja, quiet, low hassle
- Battery bank – the backbone of your system
- Generator – backup for cloudy stretches or high draw (AC, etc.)
You don’t need a huge system, but you do need a plan:
- LED lights instead of old power-hog bulbs
- Run big loads (microwave, hair dryer) sparingly
- Charge laptops and phones during peak sun if you’re on solar
At Flora Farms Mulegé, generator use is fine in moderation but not all day and not during quiet hours (you’ve already set those on the rules page).
3. Trash & Waste
Dry camping doesn’t mean leaving a mess.
- Bring trash bags and pack out what you can’t put in the designated area
- No dumping gray or black tanks on the ground. Ever.
- Use biodegradable soap where possible
At beaches along the bay, some places have trash barrels and some don’t—it’s inconsistent. A Couple of Drifters+1
At Flora Farms Mulegé, you’ll be told:
- Where to put trash
- What’s currently available for waste handling
You’re on private land; treat it like you’d treat your own property.
What to Pack for Dry Camping Around Mulegé
Here’s a simple checklist to copy into your packing doc:
Rig & Systems
- Full fresh water, empty gray/black
- Leveling blocks
- Hoses + spare gaskets
- Power cables & adapters
- Solar panels / generator + fuel
Camp Setup
- Shade (awning, tarp, or canopy)
- Outdoor mat (optional, but nice)
- Camp chairs
- Headlamps & small lanterns
Food & Water
- Extra drinking water jugs
- Staples you like but might not find locally
- A plan to use fresh vegetables when you find them
At Flora Farms Mulegé, you can lean on the fruit and vegetable stand for:
- Daily fresh vegetables from two partner organic farms
- Easy meal building without hunting all over town
Misc
- Basic toolkit
- First aid kit
- Sunscreen, hat, and long-sleeve sun shirt
- Inverter (if your rig doesn’t already have a good one)
Choosing Between Public Beaches vs Private Land
Public Beaches (Santispac, El Coyote, etc.):
- Pros:
- Right on the sand
- Social, especially in winter
- Vendors (tacos, beer, water, sometimes veggies)
- Classic “Baja beach camping” bucket list RVing Baja+2Average Joe’s RV Living+2
- Cons:
- Can get crowded
- Noise from neighbors, generators, and restaurants
- Random pricing and variable toilets
- Little control over who parks right next to you
Private Land (Flora Farms Mulegé):
- Pros:
- 560 acres of space between highway and bay
- Controlled density
- A clear vision for upgrades (full hookups, bath house, casitas)
- Fresh vegetables daily at the stand, sourced from two nearby organic farms
- A quieter, “home base” feel
- Cons:
- You’re not crammed onto the famous public beach line (which some people actually want)
- You need to arrive self-contained, just like any other dry camping spot
Smart move?
- Use Flora Farms Mulegé as your main base
- Day-trip or short-hop to whatever public beaches you want to check out
- Come back to your space, quiet, and farm connection instead of sleeping 5 feet from your neighbor’s slide-out
How Flora Farms Mulegé Makes Dry Camping Easier
You’re still responsible for your rig—but they remove some of the pain points:
- Clear road from Highway 1 to the property (no guessing which random sand track to take)
- Self check-in system (QR code and online form) so you don’t waste time chasing caretakers
- Fresh veg on-site so you’re not eating gas-station food all week
- A growing network of simple experiences (sunrise walks, sunset fires, farm visits)
And because it’s private land:
- Rules are simple and enforced
- You’re not dealing with the “caretaker’s mood” price game
- You see a long-term plan, not a random scraped beach
Common Mistakes People Make When Dry Camping Here
- Showing up with nearly full tanks and nowhere to dump
- Counting on hookups that don’t exist
- Running a generator all day and wondering why everyone hates them
- Not having cash (beaches and some local services are still very cash-heavy)
- Assuming Wi-Fi will be good enough for Zoom-level work
If you fix those five, you’re already ahead of most people.
