Brimstone Head is a beautiful park run by the local Lions Club. It's low key, close to town and a great spot to stay on Fogo.

Pros:
Gorgeous setting
Ocean front sites
There's a great hike to Brimstone Head and Fogo Head nearby
Really friendly camp hosts
Great cell service
Walking distance to town (BangBelly is great for food/coffee)
Residential style showers

Cons:
Sites are really tight
Not great for big rigs, though a couple spots are available
A bit expensive
Wifi at the Lion's Club is relatively slow and doesn't reach the campground

We scouted this spot in our truck while we were in the area. The spot itself is large enough for a trailer. However, the road up is only a single car width and it's a two way road. We met 4-5 oncoming vehicles on the short drive up and 7 mountain bikers. We're pretty adventurous trailer drivers, but I wouldn't attempt with ours, unless I was sure there were no other vehicles coming down the mountain.

Vans and truck campers should be fine, but there are a lot of low branches on the drive in. I think anything over 8'-9' might scrape a bit.

Also, be aware that the pullout that you would camp in is a popular parking area/turnaround for trucks carrying mountain bikers, so be considerate when choosing your parking spot.

Free dump and fresh water fill. Can it be any less than 5 stars?

We passed all the other campos in San Felipe over the course of our stay, and I must say that this one is the most beautiful. The beach isn't shared with other businesses (other than fishermen) and it's typically pretty quiet around the campo. At low tide, you can find mussels, clams and oysters amongst the rocks on the beach.

The family that owns the campo runs an adhoc restaurant from the central building. Vickie will cook you great mexican food, or you can bring in your own catch for her to cook. The food was fantastic. Be sure to enquire with Arturo/Lupita (the owners) to schedule dinner or other meals.

All of the spots will accommodate truck campers/vans/small RVs. There are two end spots that could hold a larger trailer, but it will be tight to maneuver.

The wifi is workable and slightly above average for mexico. The showers are very basic, but they do the trick. The gates are locked every night and an American named Ernie lives on the property to keep an eye on things.

First the pros:
1. Beautiful, decently spaced sites with some available alongside the water.
2. Not crowded!
3. Great internet (if you need to work)

Cons:
1. Super pricey! Maybe we’re used to the US, but $48 CAD for a rustic site seems crazy.
2. While the site we were in had power, the plug was in between another site and ours, meaning it was ~75 feet away. We had to use an extension cord, which meant we could only get 15 amp. Pretty disappointing after paying up for the site. It appears most sites in the loop are like this.
3. The road coming in is rough. Very rough. Like you wonder if it would have been better if they left it dirt, rough.
4. We went into the loop meant for RVs, but it was still pretty tight for our 30’ trailer. Larger rigs may have difficultly maneuvering.
5. At least when we were there, the mosquitos were thick. Almost biblical. We kept everything closed up and still had 30-50 mosquitos in our trailer by morning. I think they came in via the fridge vent. I didn't take off any stars for that, because it's probably seasonal.

Pros:
Well maintained
Plenty of first-come sites and an overflow area pretty much guarantee a spot.

Cons:
High price for a provincial park
Very busy
Sites can be unlevel. We needed 6 blocks.
Cell service is slow, even boosted.

$5 CAD. There’s also free Wi-Fi.

We stopped in for a quick overnight. The staff was very helpful and the campground was well maintained. It's a massive campground with hundreds of sites. They even have an internet cafe! The cell service is excellent and the location is very convenient for visiting the park or just driving through.

We stopped in but opted not to stay. The price is now $20 a night to park in the gravel lot. There are too many nice pullouts in AK to justify the cash for the amenities.

No frills, nice views, and a convenient location. The lake nearby is nice but not visible from most sites. Sites 1-4 seems to be the nicest, with 4 getting our vote for best site. Some of the other sites are awkward and just a pull out on the main loop. Site 5 looked particularly bad. Free firewood and a pit toilet.
