Campgrounds in San Cristobal de Las Casas

Heard that Bonampak has closed down. We have a 34' (10 meter) 5th wheel that is 12'6" tall. Is there a campground in San Cristobal de las Casas that will take a rig this size.

Currently on beach about 20 km north of Tulum and plan to stay 4 to 6 more weeks

    Thanks for reinforcing Canadian Rainbirds. Hogar Infantil sounds like a great place to spend time and get involved.

  • Hogar Infantil told me they need high quality (like GE brand) white 26 watt, and 45 watt CFL lamps. Cold not warm white. I left them about six hundred dollars worth of electrical gear, including three phase ganged breakers for their well, wire, cable, terminals and lugs. The maintenance man about fainted. Top quality facility.

    I saw a 26' 5th wheel shoehorn through the Rcho Sn Nicolas gate in Sn Cristobal. It was a tough fit. Just getting to Ave Fco Leon is a chore. Too bad. The city is No 1 favorite in Mexico. Next trip I'll rent a cabin. Parking is a real @#$%^&! downtown even in a small toad.

    E-mailed Hogar Infantil and received a reply within 30 minutes. They wrote that we are welcome. Sounds like a place where we could get involved for a week or so.

    Thanks again

    It is a great place, I'm sure you will enjoy it. You'll probably be met by a bunch of kids. Both 2 legged and 4 legged as they have goats, or at least they used to have. :B

    Thanks for the information. Just checked their website. Nothing about RVs so will contact them. Really should have something smaller than a 34' (10 meter) 5th wheel.

    Canadians from Ontario and BC here right now. The rest are two German couples, one German-Swiss couple, two South Africans, one single Coloradoan and ourselves. Three of them are overlanders on way to Chile or have been to Panama.
