List for Baja and Mexico campgrounds?

Biansue2, I see that you have traveled quite far into Mexico and you did it with a Motorhome? How is the drive with the MH? Do you often have problems going places you want or finding a campsite?

We drive a 40' diesel pusher towing a Honda CR-V. There are very few campgrounds we can't find a way to get into. Some roads can be scary narrow but we have survived. We park in a central location and use the car to take day trips we would not be doing in an RV our size. We have had no problems towing the car but the tolls can sometimes be confusing and expensive. We now know how to avoid some of the higher tolls but take the toll roads when we want to get somewhere in a reasonable time frame - or when we know the other roads are worse than we care to drive. There are many towns you cannot drive through with a large vehicle but there are no usually ring roads (perifericos) peripheral roads - around them. Which is why you need a good GPS as printed maps will not be showing the detail you need to find your way.

I (as well as others on this forum) have driven in Mexico since before they had decent roads or accurate road maps - before GPS - before many modern RV parks (back then in converted van campers - not a motorhome). We have survived all of our trips intact. If we can't find an RV park we pay to park in a motel lot or stay in a Pemex - 24 hour security and lighting. We are not among those who park on deserted beaches - well past that part of our lives.

RV parks in Mexico are not quite what you might expect to find in the US - though some are nice - few have things like 50amp power - mostly park on grass - can get stuck in mud when it rains. Some parks are improving and some are closing. My advice is to take time to research and ask questions but do not hesitate to go - life is too short to waste worrying.

If you want beaches we thing the best are on the west coast further south than Mazatlan. We did not like Gulf Coast beaches. Caribbean side of Yucatan is great but hard to find a space. But we limit our beach time and spend much more time exploring the central areas visiting towns and colonial cities. We also like ancient ruins. There is so much to see and do I cannot begin to list it all. Many on this forum have blogs and their blogs could take you to other blogs - this is where you might learn where you want to go. Reading and research on the internet will tell you a lot. Then you narrow down what you want to see and do or whatever and plan the route. Then further research into your stops along your route. Having a motorhome with a car behind gives you access to many places you might otherwise miss. That is our theory anyway. Not all agree.
