To my knowledge there are no lock boxes to store you valuables. Therefore take no valuables and keep what valuables you do take on your person, even when swimming.

There are no storage lockers at Flamenco. Having a jeep is no assurance that your valuables will be safe either. You might check getting a "water safe" type container and burying it in an inconspicu

Hola! Unfortunately, there are no lockers at the Flamenco Beach campsite. It's just your rustic type campsite, although there are basic showers and restrooms facilities. Look under SHELTER in this web

I won't be driving to the campsite, but of course want to lock up my essentials. Does the campsite offer lockers or somewhere you can lock up your valuables? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I agree with Ioulia and Jeannie about bugs, kayaking and nudity.
