".... Beach camping is safe in numbers (another reason for caravans) and everyone looks out for each other. Again common sense goes a long way, the number 1 rule is never camp alone on a beach, your just setting yourself up for trouble. We do not camp alone in the US or Canada either."

Who/what are you quoting?

The words are from a commercial site that sells "caravan tours" during which folks stay at RV Parks in Mexico.

See FAQ #6 at Baja Amigos.

Aha! that explains it. They are trying to scare you and sell you the safety of their tour. Very little that comes from someone selling is worth considering.

Not true, I have met the guy(Dan Goy) who runs Baja Amigos. He is so busy he has had to hire another set of wagon masters, so he does not need to scare people into taking his tours. Camping alone on a beach anywhere entails some risks. If you are camping alone on beach in a country which has more poor people obviously your chances of being a property crime victim is higher. I spend every winter in Mexico in an RV and i usually travel with at least one or 2 others (useful if you break down). Although I have never had an incident, I would not camp alone on a remote beach in Mexico and I would hesitate to do it in the US as well.

I get offers from these caravan companies all the time and I love the idea but don't have the time. Some people just have to knock any idea they don't come up with themselves which drags the thread out.:S
