Campgrounds in Puebla and Villahermosa

We have stayed at Trailer Park Las Americas in Puebla and its website indicates that it is still open.

Have stayed at the Recreativo El Gordo y San Pancho on the north side of Villahermosa. The RV site was rather run down when we were there in 2013 but it is a good spot to spend the night. Does anyone know if this is still open for RVs.

Really regret that Rancho Hermanos Graham seems to be closed. We always enjoyed hearing the Oropendelas calling in the morning.

    We are at the Hotel Ramon which is 3 km NW of San Miguel. It is in the Church's book. The GPS in book is correct. I can put in later if you want. The wi-fi is fairly good near the reception area. They opened a new spot above their normal parking which is quite sufficient for our 34' 5th wheel. I think a 38' should fit. We had friends who got a 40 or 44' Newmar in three years ago. You may need to drive straight up to reception area since the area There is water, 15 amp and sewer at most of the sites. There are three rigs at upper area at this time. The lower area is quite nice but quite close and rather full. There are a few tight turns around trees which we and others have negotiated with no problem. The terrain is quite flat and grass covered in parking area. We plan to be here for four nights. I can ask if a 38' can fit. A number of years ago we just parked on the road below the main area. It was quite sufficient.

  • Would appreciate an update on current CG offerings in San Maguel-- coach too large for the Tennis Ranch.
  • Mike we are going to the east coast. 57D has been excellent through Matehual. Spent the night at Palmas Motel where we have stayed every time before going down and returning. Will be in San Miguel for two days. Should be camped at usual spot in a week.

    Are you and Pat going to Mexico this year?

    If you are not past it yet, there are sections of the road south of Torreon toward Zacatecas that are horrible and could easily break a spring or spring shackle. I'd recommend finding an alternate route

  • coloradotallman - thanks for information. We are pretty well solar autonomous and do not hook up if possible. If we do, we just charge the battery bank with a 15 amp cord.Tossed the 50 amp cord two years ago. Battery bank then runs everything through inverter/conveter. We have friends in Puebla.

    John - thanks for information. We get into Villahemosa on a weekend and the retorno may be/may not be possible. We will spend the previous night in Orizaba. If not, we shall continue on to your normal spot a hundred or so km down the road. Sorry we shall not see you and Peg again this year. You have always been a source of information and friendship since our first trip to Yucatan.

  • Reed, That Balneario in Villahermosa is still open.e there in March. May be hard to get to when you are west bound if there is still construction making a retorno nearly impossible.
  • We were in Puebla one week ago. US and one other for one night. Pretty slow. Three stored rigs. Still low-amp electric. 230 pesos? Not much improvement although lots of guys painting and clearing brush.
