On the other hand, it migh be safe, but my concern is that tourists are easy prey for thieves.
BTW, no crocs anywhere close to Bahia de las Aguilas, plenty of iguanas but no crocs and iguanas are very safe unless they see food, but they won't attack.

I agree in general with Marilyn about the general safety of camping in the DR. Bahia de la Aguilas is remote, and road access is closed at night. If you enter as a day visitor and don't establish a camp until nightfall, most likely no one will know you are in there and that is the best strategy. I will be camping there in 2 weeks. I will let you know how I do, if I survive
