One of the world's most interesting and least expensive travel destinations is just across the southern U.S. border. Mexico offers warm sunny weather all winter long, beautiful beaches, colonial cities, arts and crafts, and excellent food. Best of all, you can easily and economically visit Mexico in your own car or RV! Thousands of campers from the U.S. and Canada do it every year.

Camping is a great way to explore Mexico. Modern roads now make the entire country easily accessible. Campgrounds are located along the beaches, near cities and resorts, and within easy range of ancient archeological sites and eco-destinations.
