Extreme Newbie question

[FunnyCamper]

we are planning a trip out texas way and I was thinking of a possible drop down into mexico.

thing is I have never been.

Is there a beach waterfront campground someone can recommend that would not put us way down into mexico as the rest of my trip is kinda heading into the northwest/oregon etc area. But if I am 'in the area' I am wondering what anyone could recommend.

I appreciate any info anyone can give. I am in pre plan stage and just need a starting point to kinda head me in some direction. thanks alot

You can easily cross from Texas to Mazatlan in a long day's drive. Mostly all toll roads, leave early. Mazatlan and vicinity has some of the best weather and beaches you'll find in Mexico.

Why not head to the west coast? Cross at Nogales, you can get to San Carlos in one day. Safer and easier than the north Gulf coast.If you feel nervous, Fantasy, Adventure & Caravanas de Mexico are running less than 30 day trips as far as Mazatlan, or in the case of Fantasy, Rocky point. You can easily get as far as San Carlos on your own however. PM me for info on what you need to do about permits if you like.

Why not make your first time a trip to an established RV Park? I myself will not beach camp park solo on the gulf side until I get as far south (way down) as Lake Catemaco.

IMHO 99% of "Mexico" is the wonderful people, food, and atmosphere.

First question is when / what time of the year? Makes a big diff as temp can become an issue.

Just a suggestion, but if you go to your post and change the title to Mexico Gulf Coast Water Front Camping, might get more responses.

Since you are going in from Texas, you are talking about the Gulf coast of Mexico. Not as pretty as the west coast until you get well south.

There are some Forum members familiar with the E coast. Hopefully they will chime in.

We have driven in that way many time with our coach-- no problems.
