Maybe , But in Puerto Penasco the, Playa elegante, La Jolla de Cortez, Bonita and 2 others who's names escape me, shut down when the high rise, carbo like hotels started up and have not been replaced nor have any new, full hookup beach parks, opened.
Playa del Oro, Playa Bonita and the Reef are the only full hookup beach rv parks and the del Oro has cut back a lot on their operation. Good luck getting a long term beach front at the playa bonita and then its pretty tight parking. I can't speak for the summer months but the Reef , during the months of Jan, Feb, and March has never been close to full capacity with Rv 'rs. We're pretty spoiled, we' dry camp for a bit but prefer full hook ups so the 2 or 3,dry camping areas on the beach are great but not for us long term.
My point. I don't believe we Rv people have that big of an impact on Rocky Point. Not sure we count that much when the talk of tourism comes up but I think they'd rather fill the high rises with people than the Rv parks. Sure we contribute to the local economy but not like we did 10 years ago pre highrises, pre economic slump in Arizona .
And before the Mexico purists jump in . I've lived full time in 2 different countries and visited over 23, I like Rocky Point. It's enough of Mexico for me. I've don't want to go a whole lot farther south.
So to the original question, no I don't believe the Reef will survive. I think they're gonna shut it down Open a new beach front, maybe but I just don't think rvers have that big of an impact economically so I don't believe we are the answer to saving Rocky Point
