This might be a good time to talk about local predators. Cows are everywhere and if you and your party wander off all at one time, leaving the camp without sentries, you can become prey to cows. Totally lacking of remorse, cows will come into your camp and eat all your food that has not been placed in the van. They will tear down your tarps, knocking over everything. Sometimes pigs will do the same. And there are coyotes. Be careful leaving pets unprotected at night.
As I mentioned above, mosquitoes are not really a problem from December to mid-April. It is perfectly safe to sleep on the ground sans tent. I would however recommend a ground cloth and something to protect you from the dew, which can be substantial. Rain is definitely not an issue. And the stars are incredible.
