In Baja, everyone uses propane in some manner. Consequently there is a propane distribution center at the edge of just about every village/town. You can sometimes see the big storage cylinders sticking up over the cinderblock walls that surround the business. Most of them are set up to fill the large permanently mounted tanks found in RV's and all the portable tanks.
But we don't really rely on propane when we boondock. We just switch to electric hot plates and skillets and leave the propane for the fridge. I know that we can last about 5 months on one tank of propane because we've done it.
Another option is to check into a RV park and then ask them to call the local propane company for a delivery. Even in the mainland, a lot of people use propane so delivery is common. We had our propane tank refilled while sitting on the beach in the small fishing village of Mahahual, Quintana Roo. And the crazy part was that we weren't even looking for propane. The truck just showed up and asked if we needed propane. Come to find out, within two days, everyone knew that there was a couple of gringo RV's parked on the sand alongside the malecon, and from then on, just about everything we needed was being sold at our door. Lobster, crab, fish of every kind, bakery items, blankets, trinkets, ice, water, fresh fruit, veggies, etc. It was all offered right at our door!
