A year for all of it
The winter pilgrimage: gray whales by the thousand in Scammon’s Lagoon, salt-flat horizons, osprey on every pole — the mid-peninsula season stop every snowbird should build in.
Easy880 mi7–10 days
The East Cape’s snowbird capital: a walkable beach town with a full gringo-services grid, world-class fishing out front, and a winter community that comes back every year.
Easy1,050 miSeason-long (Nov–Apr)
Tide-pool hot springs, the old coast road’s volcanic point country, and a legendary sandy wash into the sierra — the San Felipe corridor’s wild side.
Difficult330 mi3–5 days
Baja’s alpine surprise: granite domes and a shallow lake at 5,000 feet, pine-forest camps, and a border-to-border dirt traverse of the Sierra de Juárez.
Moderate165 mi2–3 days
A hundred miles of mangrove channels behind the Pacific’s barrier islands: snook in the esteros, offshore giants out the boca, and gray whales in your wake all winter.
Moderate1,530 mi12–18 days
A panga-fishing village an hour from La Paz, a channel full of pelagics, and a winter wind scene that fills the beach — the anglers’ base with a second act.
Moderate1,090 mi10–16 days
The empty quarter: graded roads across the Vizcaíno desert to lobster-co-op villages on a fog-cooled coast nobody visits. Solitude, done properly.
Moderate1,160 mi10–14 days
A date-palm oasis, a stone mission, and mule trails to the greatest rock art in the Americas — the overland trip that ends 7,500 years back.
Moderate1,000 mi10–14 days
Friday to Sunday, border to border: Tecate in, the wine road down, Ensenada’s food scene, La Bufadora, and the coast home. The club’s gateway drug.
Easy130 mi2–3 days
The far-south van trip: an art-town base under the Sierra Laguna, point breaks and turtle releases, and the Pacific’s best sunset coast.
Easy1,015 mi14–21 days
The closest ‘real Baja’ weekend for a big rig: a volcano-ringed bay, endless dune beach, oysters from the source, and no long fuel gaps.
Easy380 mi3–5 days
The oldest town in the Californias, five islands in a marine park, and the prettiest stretch of Highway 1 — the RV trip for people who want a base with history.
Easy700 mi12–16 days

Not sure which one you are?

Most members start with RV or Van and work outward. If your rig is over 30 feet, stay in RV — the camps in the other categories won’t fit you.
