Oaxaca Camping

I spent a week at the Oaxaca campground last February. I liked the location and easy access to Oaxaca Centro by colectivo. Del and his wife will be away for the summer but someone is taking care of the place in their absence.

We use the oaxaca campground south of Oaxaca for caravans

Thanks for the suggestions. Others met along the way mostly speak well of both of those places. We’ve enjoyed the two since closed parks mentioned in the past and it looks as if we must now move forward.

We were at the OverlanderOasis in January. It is small, there were 5 rigs in there and we were the largest at 25' and it was a tight fit. They work primarily with the overlanders, we had a great time with people from Belqium, Netherlands and GB there at the time. It is in Tule about 3 blocks off the main road and colectivos or taxis into Oaxaca are easy. The street food in Tule is great. Call before showing up to check on space availability.

I know of some people who were at Oaxaca Campground, 18 Km from Centro, in January. They have a good website.

One time we spent a couple of weeks at the San Felipe Trailer Park in the hills above Oaxaca. Rows and rows and rows of thorn tipped agave plants grew there, like a vineyard. They called them maguey, and after some number of years they harvested the pina in the center of the plant and cooked it in the ground. The smokey fermented distilled liquor that resulted was bottled with a scorpion (imported from China) and was exported under the Scorpion brand.

The proprietor, a Mexican-American from California, kept a garafone of the finished product just inside his front door and would siphon out a half litre into your bottle for two or three bucks. It was drinkable. Not sure when they went out of biz.

As rundown as the Oaxaca Trailer park was we always enjoyed our stays there! I am pretty sure someone posted that it is now closed. There is another spot but it is small. I do not remember the name. Popular with van campers. We never stayed there. Maybe Tequila can tell us where the Caravans go??
