Baja California Norte
Parque Nacional Sierra de San Pedro Mártir Campamento La Corona
Established Campground
La Corona sits in a thick pine forest at 8,200 feet elevation, making it the coolest spot in Baja California. The campground has 15 designated sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and surprisingly good flush toilets for a remote mountain park. Sites are spread through tall pines with decent privacy. Gets busy on Mexican holidays but quiet most weekdays. Fires allowed in designated rings only.
Access via Highway 1 to the park entrance, then 14 miles of paved but winding mountain road. The park charges an entrance fee. Best visited April through October — snow possible in winter at this elevation. Observatory nearby offers night sky programs on weekends.
