Casa Agave is a fantastic place to stay. Our family of four spent two nights there and felt very comfortable. Greg provided all the essentials, including an oven, hot water, fridge, and even a coffee machine! The private fire pit and the breathtaking view of the tabletop mountain make it an ideal spot to unwind and end your day. Watching the sunset and the starry night sky is truly a magical experience.

Gerry was a great host! We got a huge parking different plenty of room to hang outside. He was very generous and even blew up his bounce house so my son could play in it. He also let me use his printer! This spot is about 15 minutes from the Mexacali East border crossing making it a great option on the way down to Baja. Would highly recommend!

The host, Jerry, was such a gracious host and our stay was perfect. He welcomed us as we drove up and was so warm and generous the entire time we were there, sharing tacos and stories with us like old friends. The grounds were nice, flat and safe, and with farm animals to include a cute pug named Ceasar. I’d definitely recommend staying here. It was the perfect launching point for our trip to Baja.

I loved the camping experience we had at the tower! Table, fire pit, and water in the sites. Nice clean bathrooms short walk from all sites and fun hiking trails in the rocks. Host was super communicative. FYI it’s a little walk in from the parking to your campsite, you can’t just drive up to the site so keep in mind with your equipment.
