Camping in Rocky Point Mexico / Puerto Penasco

If you are in search of a beach destination which is economical, you certainly can’t go wrong with Puerto Penasco. A few hours from Arizona, the picturesque beach town not only offer ample opportunity to enjoy the famed Mexican coast line but also you could experience the best that the country has to offer on a shoe string budget. Camping in Puerto Penasco is a real possibility with over a dozen RV parks in the area.

Depending on the camping ground that you choose, you could only be paying $5 to $15 for camping in Rocky Point. Add to this the allure of parking your van or RV along the shore and enjoying a barbeque party with your family at sunset.

Since most of these RV parks are located on the beach, you could spend the day working on your tan as the kids have a ball building sand castles. While Rocky Point camping can be the most cost effective accommodation option in the area; there are some draw backs to contend with.

For instance, the RV parks in Puerto Penasco are no match to ones in the United States or Europe, so there are no restaurants, shops or Laundromats inside the park. However, the town is small so you are never really far away from a decent place to grab a bite but you will need to share the shower with the other campers. So, if you are the coy kind, this may not be suitable option for you.

Another pesky issue is the constant disturbance caused by vendors trying to sell their merchandize to American travelers. If you are looking for cheap souvenirs, the issue may not be particularly vexing. On the other hand if you can handle these issues, camping in the area will prove to be quite an experience for you.

When looking for RV parks in Puerto Penasco, there are several websites that offer precise information on the various establishments in town along with directions and information about the amenities offered.

Here are some recommendations and tips for fellow campers:

Pack loosely when traveling for a camping trip to Rocky Point; often the border agents will want to check your bags to see what is going in and out of the country.

Drinking water is not treated with the same procedure as in the United States; so you will be risking a severe infection if you consume water right off the tap. Instead, pack some bottled water along.

Make sure you also get along enough food and sanitary supplies; it can be very annoying to unpacks and repack your entire luggage just because somebody in the group wants to get a drink or because you are running short on tortillas.
