Patzcuaro - Rancho La Mesa

Just updating my own question here, La Mesa is open and very good. There is room for a bunch of rigs, but it is just a long-termer and I here for the Day of the Dead celebrations coming up.

One note is that you cannot turn left directly into the road to the park anymore, they have a barricade down the middle of the highway (120). There is a place to do a wide u-turn just a few hundred meters up the road.

The road to the park is still very rustic, but passable. They do have a new entrance in town now, which you could access with a tow vehicle, but not with a rig of any size.

Great place to stay, with an amazing view of Patzcuaro. A quick easy 2.0 km walk into centro, all downhill. A collectivo or inexpensive taxi (50P) will get you home if you do not want to walk back up the hill.

Good restaurant on site with craft beers on draft. Reg rate is 280 pesos a night with all hook ups. Wifi in the restaurant. 30 amp plug in! They have a Facebook page and Beto answered our direct messages to him.

And, El Pozo is totally gone, forever.

We use it for our caravans, its good.

Rancho la Mesa is on a hill overlooking town (as the name suggests). If you take the road that goes to Santa Clara del Cobre it is down a long dirt road about 1/4 to 1/2 mile past where you go under the cuota. You go back over the cuota on the dirt road and it is a ways down there. It is a sort of resort/event center with a restaurant. They have horses and ostriches. The main thing is it overlooks town and the lake and Janitzio with great views all day long. Though it seems isolated it is really not far from town and if you have a car it is easy to get back and forth. We have stayed there several times.

June 20, 2012 Update - We stayed here in January 2012. The construction has been completed. This is an absolutely wonderfull park that is built to North American Standards. 30 amp service, clean water and sewer at every site. The park has breathtaking veiws overlooking the city, a great restaurant, better than great management and is also a working ranch with horses, cattle, goats and chickens to pet. It is well signed once you are off the highway. We stayed here as a base to visit Morelia, Santa Clara de Cobre, and the butterflies. - Courtesy of Rich & Bonnie Dizon
