Reef RV Park beachfront is now $40 and the wide beachfront spaces are $50. Monthly rates also way up in the stratosphere.Lots of empty spaces, come on down.

I had no idea it was so inexpensive there. I've seen prices 3 times as much in the US for beachfront.

Sadly from Rocky Point on to the West and down South to San Felipe and Gonzaga Bay the rates have gone thu the roof. Gonzaga Bay hotel room rates have doubled for a nothing room with only a few hours of AC a day (power is provide on a generator). Camping on the beach rates have also doubled (no hookups). Prices have been greatly influenced by Mexico Lite Rvers from California & Phoenix. The prices are cheaper than what they pay in CA & Phoenix so they pay, pay, PAY. Law of supply and demand, if people would stop going/paying then the price would come down. Operating cost have not increased enough to justify the huge rate increases, just a chance to make more dollars. On Edit, guess I should add Tucson Mexico Lite Rvers.rocmoc n

In the past rates would go up in the Mexican RV parks. As seasons went by the traffic to the parks would dwindle, year by year. Each year, to keep their income steady, their prices would go up, never back down. Eventually some parks got sold for condos. We saw this farther to the south in Mexico. It chases Canadian RVers away, too, when the parks charge in American dollars. It has been said you can force them to take pesos, but when the owner converts USD to pesos, that's still more to pay when conversions favour USD, at times @ 19 pesos to 12 or 13 for CAD. We were okay at the Reef a few years back, camped on the sand, and could use much of the infrastructure of the Campground, for $5 a day. Enjoyed it, in fact.

And if they do drop, and we resume going there, won't they just go up again? I have always found Rocky Point and San Carlos to be extremely good values. If you think $40 Oceanside sites are overpriced you must be living in another era.RichH

We were so shocked at the prices at La Jaiba in Mazatlan (650p per night) that we won't be stopping there on our way back north.
