Interesting article on RV park vacancy rate in Mazatlan.

Sounds like the State is trying to paint a rosy picture if they are claiming 80% occupancy? We were actually planning on staying at California. Guess that will change!

My friend runs caravans down into Mexico. Mar Rosa gave them the cold shoulder, so they went north up the beach. Makes you wonder if Mar Rosa is thinking of selling out. They are on prime land.

We were in Mazatlan for 3 weeks in Oct/Nov. Mar Rosa was empty, others we passed had one or two RV's there. The only one that had a good occupancy was the one at Bruha Beach. It is a lot cheaper to rent a house or condo per month that drive your RV down.

From another post here
We stayed at La Penita and Los Mangos in Bucerias in 2011/12. Approx $400 US at La Penita and $680 at Los Mangos.Prices appear same for those two but wondering if anyone has rate approx for Tacho's.

I can rent a fully furnished place with grand Vista for these rates Here in Mazatlan.. know lot of folks that do not travel down in there rigs because of Costs. and now rent apts and homes here. Dying Biz here in Mazatlan..

"80% is demand for Mazatlan trailer park" That is my google translate. Most of the article seems to state that due to better road infrastructure there are many more tourists in Mazatlan.

Yet from what I understand, one did not open, 2 are in process of building residential housing and one costs much more than a well appointed condo or apt.

What is your translation? as I do not speak Spanish and the translation seems to be googled.

RV Biz is in the dumps in Mazatlan. the California RV park did not even open there gates and parks are very empty..
