Thanks for the correct spelling of Encenada. (But you spelled it Esnsenada.)
I have camped at El Faro Beach (or Estero?) and the charge was only $6. We
pitched a tent right on the sand. They have hook ups and running water at a
spigot. Yes they have cabins too.

Definitely worth the trip. If you go all the way to Cabo then about 1/2 way
to Cabo there is another good camping spot just next to the motel with level
concrete pads for your vehicle (Only $6 a night.) We went in November so it
might be more in summer. I think it is at El Rosario. Or is it Guerrero
Negro. I forget but if you drive all day it is about when dusk hits. I wish
I could be more help.

Enjoy.
