Campestre Maranatha

Fifty years ago Cecil and Faye bought seven acres just outside of La Paz.  They actually  camped under a mesquite tree with four children, the youngest being only three weeks old, while they cleared the land, dug a well and built their home.  They even cleared and leveled an area for an airstrip.  The property has changed a lot over the years, and has become Camp Maranatha, an oasis in the desert.  Churches come for renewal and to hear the good news of the Gospel.  The campground is used for youth and children's camps, Bible school, adult seminars, and spiritual retreats.  Each year many people are baptized in the pool.  The airstrip has been replaced by an RV area.  If you're traveling down Baja, this is a great place to stop with your RV.
