Might there be one giant map that is up to date and with feedback by other RV travelers?

No online undate-able interactive map that I'm aware of.

Here is a map, but it is not up to date. "Mostly" the info is correct though.
http://www.ontheroadin.com/

Scroll to the middle of the page, there will be green map (don't click on it), and red menu on the right that says Yucatan, Baja, West Coast etc. Click on menu, more detailed map will open, then click on the area of interest and on the camp icon, to see the camp info.

wow great places to begin my planed hook south after getting my feet wet in No America in my new RoadTrek (awaiting delivery).

Solo with dog, in a shiny white large RV van...what could go wrong?

Start a BLOG so you can keep track. And others entertained. Or warned. :B

We did. To be updated soon.

the maps that appear in this posting are very dangerous to those that do not know Mexico

Neither the map I posted nor Tequilas map are for the public - they are our very private and personal maps and in the form we show them they provide no useful information other that the stated purpose to show that there are RV parks in Mexico. We did not advise anyone to go anywhere other than the suggested websites where they can get information. These maps are only screenshots we took and posted to give an overview of Mexico and a very very very general idea of where places might be found. No one can learn anything from these maps and it would be ridiculous to try. On the other hand there is the map from ioverlander which can be found online at their website and which I personally feel is not a very good source of information without using the other mentioned websites to get more detailed information. Some of these overlander people do decide to camp in very dangerous places and some of the writers of the posts on that website give very poor information with little knowledge of the surrounding area. In no way did I even remotely suggest camping in some of the national parks or wherever - I do not know where you got that idea - not from me. You need to spend more time reading and clearly understanding some of these posts before you start attacking people and saying they said things they never said. Please re-read posts before you criticize - that should apply to all.

Mr: briansue , please accept my apologies, the maps that appear in this posting are very dangerous to those that do not know Mexico and even to those that have some knowledge of the country.

One thing is to visit and travel and another is having the local knowledge, having lived many years in Mexico and in California, I can tell you where the bad places are in Los Angeles and San Diego, if I were to go to Chicago I would not know where the bad areas are, most of the the South West of the USA and Mexico I do know.

When I was growing up you drove to Acapulco, detoured to Taxco for a visit or not, and stopped for fuel in Iguala and then Acapulco, from there you drove along the coast to Zigutanego and further up.

Under no circumstances did you ever go into the interior of the State of Guerrero, there where very bad hombres, I am talking late 50's and early 60's and it has gotten worse, some of those camp grounds shown are some of the most dangerous areas to travel in not just in Guerrero but also on some of the other States as well.

Your information is correct on roads and camp grounds that take the RV's, all three of the maps shown are not to be used for camping with RV's, or tents some are daylight use only, the bad hombres come in the night.

Neighbor of ours worked for Ford Motors a character from Illinois, took the kids camping in the Desierto de los Leones National Park, he had the foresight to hide the car keys, they came home in their under ware, and that is not an urban legend I was there when they got home Saturday morning scared s*****s.

Some information that you find on the internet can be extremely dangerous for those that do not know what they are getting in to, specially in Mexico and Latin America.

You do give some good information, this time no neither you or tequila or the other gentleman hit the nail.

Just returned from that very trip and will Private Message you here shortly. We used a combination of the Church Guide and iOverlander. When I have my Wordpress blog put together I will post it here also. Getting into the rest of this pissing match is really not worth my time.

navegator; You have been in Mexico too long. Your logic is what is called Mexican logic. Hard for any of us to understand. BTW: This is not a blog. It is a Forum.

Mr: briansue you are giving information that is a little to dangerous for some of the traveler's in this blog, specially for the young and reckless.

I have no idea what you are talking about!! What blog? I suggest using things like the Church book and updates website as well as Bill & Dot Bell's ontheroadin website. Then use the ioverlander to cross reference for more current information. I do not know what you mean about dangerous or about Parque National warnings - you are going to have to explain exactly what it is you are talking about and exactly which blogs or websites provide dangerous information. You need to clarify as I do not know what you are talking about and the rest of the readers out here probably don't either. I do not in any way recommend any location on any of these lists as being outright OK and safe to visit. People need to read every word they can find about any location and if they do not find enough info they need to ask questions to find out what other travelers know. Can you please clarify what you are saying? I did not post anything about National Parks or anything near Mexico City. I have no idea what you are talking about.

WARNING!!!!

The Parques Nacionales (National Parks) and Reservas de la Biosfera (Ecological Preserves) indicated in all of the maps on this blog are not the same as what you are going to find in the U.S.A. or Canada, some of these places are notning more than a plot of land with a very poor trail for a road.

There are some in Baja California that are friendly, most of those on the main land are not, even the young Mexicans do not go there.

Use the list that Mr. Tony Lee and or the Churches book to find camp grounds to stay at, this is not a scare advice I have traveled in Mexico since I was born in Mexico, I have family and own a house in Mexico, I see several camp grounds around Mexico City, there are only two places that you can take an RV to Pepes in Tepotzotlan and the one by the pyramids in Teotihuacan, everything else that you see is day only, absolutely to dangerous to camp at night, some of these the RV will never make it in anyway.

Here is a very quick look at the recent Church Updates on their Rolling Homes website. How obsolete or out-of-date is that? If you use the book and the website you will know what is going on. But then it would really be great if people out there would send them emails when they learn something new. If you look at the book in the first few pages in from the cover there is a long list of people who send info in for updates to so Mike & Terri get updates on what people out there know. If you don't send it in they will not know.

From their website.........
