1. What type of supplies should I bring?We recommend you come prepared with basic camping supplies, such as:
We also recomend that you come with a full tank of gas. The nearest gasoline stations are in Mexicali and La Rumorosa. There is no gas available at Guadalupe Canyon Oasis. 2. How do I book a reservation?Each site at Guadalupe Canyon Oasis is unique. We recommend that reservations be booked in advance as early as possible in order to insure that the hot tub site you desire is available. Please fill out a reservation request form! Once availability has been confirmed we will inform you about the procedure for paying a reservation deposit. 3. Can you accommodate special occasions?We love special events! Whether it's a birthday party, a family reunion or just a special weekend among friends, let us know what you have in mind and we can help you plan and book the perfect event. 4. What about the road going into the hot springs?Please be sensible about the vehicle you bring to Guadalupe Canyon Oasis. The road from Highway 2 to our location is a smooth dirt road. During the last 2-3 miles into the canyon It becomes somewhat rougher and it is best to have a high-clearance vehicle. If you have a 4X4, pick up truck, or SUV, you'll be fine. Don't forget that you can always just leave your car at home, and use our friendly, dependable Shuttle service instead! 5. How will the border crossing work? What papers do I need to come to Mexico?Guadalupe Canyon Oasis is fortunate to be located in an visa-free zone of Baja California, an area that may be visited without any kind of visa. This makes the border crossings very simple. (If you are planning to travel further into Mexico after visiting us, however, you will need to stop and pick up a travel visa when you cross the border.) To return to the States, you will need to bring either a passport, a receipt for a passport application or a driver's license and birth certificate to cross the border. You may find more information here. When you're traveling in Mexico there may be safety check points operated by the Mexican Military. These are normal safety check points that check for weapons and drugs. They may ask you to open your trunk for inspection. 6. Does the camp have showers and restrooms?Yes! Our restrooms include flush toilets and showers. 7. Do you have Internet, electricity or cell phone coverage?No, we are very remote, so remember to bring flashlights and plenty of good stories to share around your hot tub! 8. What activities are there in the area?Guadalupe Canyon Oasis is situated in an area that offers some of the best outdoor activities in Baja California. One of the most popular activities includes hiking into the hills above the Oasis to swim in any one of seven different naturally occurring cool pools (some with waterfalls!) above the springs. You may also wish to visit some of the ancient indigenous petroglyphs and pictographs that are close by. We can direct you to the best viewing locations.
