2025- July update - see image at bottom for possible 'short-cut' from the boat ramp - scope it first!
conditions change daily!!!
We typically camp on the beach at La Laja campground, 'primitive' camping fees apply and reservations not required. There is a paystation at the main road (cash or checks).

An alternate route to Hobie road above - look near end of boat ramp for a 'horizontal cut' across toward Hobie Beach. This path was passable at Memorial Day 2025 and was an attractive alternative as Hobie Road is getting bigger ruts...
