Two Questions

[JerBear]

Can anyone tell me the name of the new campground that opened this year on the beach between Tecoman and Manzanillo? Question #2 is... has anyone stayed here? If so what did you think????

The RV parking at MARUATA is fine. It's not recommended to troll a nice pickup or toad however. Las Penas is QUIET. Caleta de Campos is flakier than a nine arm gypsy. Still safe in Playa Azul.

The rurales and autodefensas were burned out of the coast area and with them went the petty independent ratones. Even La Tuta found it too hot to handle. He ran like a rabbit to the state of Colima. Reputed to be in Manzanillo and Cihuatlan.

Three trips the full length of this road, from Cerro de Ortega to Zihuatanejo in the last three months. Mex 200 is as quiet as it's ever been although the indigenous of the X villages are looking for cartelero scalps and their faithful police and government minions.

Hola Amigos! This is Steve one of the owners of Coconutz. Actually we have 5 RV hookups. One is a temporary one we call the back-in site on the website. It will be gone when we complete the 4 pull-through sites in phase II. Other phases include a palapa top for the observation deck and pool. Still have a little construction on the bathroom which is starting again this week. Tile work etc. Got a lot more landscape plantings and new rail fence surrounding the perimeter last week. I think most of your questions might be answered on the website but let us know if you any more questions. Come on Down! www.travcotravels.com or on facebook Coconutz RV Park - Cuyutlan, Colima, Mexico.

It's Coconutz at Cuyutlan! At this point in time I would give them a A for effort! A wee bit too exposed for our taste,but certainly clean and there is potential for a small RV Park. If My count was right there was a total of 4 RVPads . Very Clean Washrooms with an observation deck on the roof!

Their photos show them 7 blocks up right on the beach. On google maps you can see the pad that's on the corner of the lot where the MH is pictured on the blog.

More like 18.919076 -104.072298 GPS Coordinates: N 18 55 8.64 W104 4 20.98 or 18.9190667 -104.0724944
If you use Google Earth you can find it one there.

Okay I finally got signed in. Yes we are in Cuyutlan and yes we are on the beach. If anyone can help me fix the Facebook map it would GREATLY be apprecaited. I listed our address as #64 Veracruz, Cuyutlan, Colima, Mexico. Well Bling decided to put in Veracruz Mexico!! on the Gulf coast. I was able to move the pin on a giant map and got close to our location but not accurate but only blocks away.

Nice to see the discussion. Please let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully we will be open very soon and with our limited spaces have to figure out how to keep spaces for travelers. Limit the number of days? We would have to charge more? We want to make this park a place people will enjoy visiting and make regular stop, a travelers park.

Detonará el turismo con la construcción de áreas de descanso de casas rodantes de extranjeros

5 noviembre, 2014
Luis Rosales Chávez|COLIMANOTICIAS

Armería, Col.- Francisco Javier Aguirre Santillán, presidente de la Junta Municipal de Cuyutlán, anunció que una inversión extranjera podría detonar favorablemente el turismo en este balneario, se trata de un área de descanso o estacionamiento de las llamadas “trailas” o casas rodantes.

Una pareja de extranjeros llegaron a Cuyutlán para construir este espacio a algunos metros de la zona de playa “el objetivo es que por ejemplo en tiempo decembrino lleguen más turistas y puedan parar aquí, porque ya contarían con todos los servicios como agua y drenaje”.

Destacó que este servicio lo estaban buscando desde hace tiempo, por lo que va a ser buen punto para atraer más turismo extranjero “el beneficio para ellos es que no tienen que andar quedándose en la calle, ahí tendrán todos los servicios para conectarse al drenaje directamente y estar más tranquilos”.

De los inversionistas dijo que son dos personas extranjeros que tenían residencia en el Estado de Jalisco, “llegaron hace dos meses con ese proyecto y están trabajando, todavía no tenemos la capacidad que abarcará porque está en proceso la obra, que además se está haciendo con gente de la comunidad, son maestros albañiles de Cuyutlán”.

Se espera que los primeros vacacionistas puedan llegar en diciembre a esta parada de servicio, con lo que piensan, habrá más ingresos a la comunidad: “le van a dar un poco más de empuje al turismo, a generar movimiento económico, sería un paradero especial para “trailas” que tendrán también su alumbrado, todo van a tener en este sitio ubicado a una cuadra antes de la playa, es una gran idea que va a generar más derrama económica”.


Francisco Javier Aguirre Santillan, president of the Municipal Board Cuyutlán announced that a foreign investment could favorably detonate tourism in this resort, it is a rest area or parking calls "trailas" or RVs.
A couple of foreigners came to Cuyutlán to build this space a few meters from the beach area "the objective is that for example in decembrinas time and can bring more tourists stop here, because we count with all amenities like water and sewer."
He stressed that this service were searching for a while, so it will be a good point to attract more foreign tourists "The benefit to them is that they have to walk staying on the street, there will have all the services to connect to drain directly and be more relaxed. "
Of investors said that two foreigners who were resident in the State of Jalisco, "came two months ago with this project and are working, yet we are not able to cover because it is in the process of work, which also is being done community people are Cuyutlán master masons. "
It is expected that the first vacationers can arrive in December this service stop with what they think, the more revenue to the community: "I will give a little push to tourism, generate economic movement, it would be a special whereabouts for "you trailas" also have their lighting, everything will have on this site located one block before the beach, it's a great idea that will generate more economic benefit ".

Coconutz RV Park - Cuyutlan, Colima

Coconutz RV Park supplies a "missing link" in the Mexico RV Park world with the only RV park in Colima state. Until now, the stretch of Mexico's Pacific coast below Melaque and Barra de Navidad to Zihuatanejo was "park-less." No more. George and Steve will open the only RV park in the state of Colima - Coconutz in Cuyutlan (the correct spelling with the accent is Cuyutlán, but for search visibility dropped the accent). Their plan is to open in November, 2014. They will start small, with 4 sites (I am unclear if these first 4 RV sites will have full hookups or not), followed by 4 more with bath and shower facilities and full hookups. Be sure to check with their website before you make plans, if indeed you are the type that plans. We all know that plans in Mexico sometimes take longer than expected.

For clarity's sake, there may still be an eclectic RV campground at one of the Michoacán beach towns between here and Zihuatanejo, but it is not recommended to dally on this route.

There are many Mexicos and all kinds of people enjoy the kind of Mexico experience that suits them best. The owners of Coconutz RV Park are frank (not to be confused with George and Steve, there is no one named Frank, just frank talk) about what to expect at Cuyutlan, Colima.

From their website / blog: "This is just a sleepy little beach front village. Very laid back. If you want a tourist destination, then head towards Puerto Vallarta. If you want to chill out on the beach, enjoy the sound of the surf, and a cold beverage, in a village of very friendly and welcoming people, with no high pressure timeshare salesmen, and no “barkers” on every corner trying to sell you a fishing trip, boat ride, parasail, etc. then come on down.

The beach here is “black sand” from volcanic rock. The Colima volcano is just a few miles from here."

So, if the road less traveled appeals to you, Coconutz RV Park in Colima state is probably on your way there, wherever there is.
