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. Here are some
of the areas with campgrounds featured in this book:
Yucatan Peninsula
Colonial Highlands
West Coast
Copper Canyon
Chiapas and Oaxaca
Baja Peninsula
Gulf of California
Eastern Gulf Coast
And Many More!
Traveler's Guide to Mexican Camping is designed to make your trip to Mexico simple. It has detailed
descriptions of almost 250 campgrounds located all over the country. In
addition to camping and campground information this indispensable guide
also includes information about important cities, tourist destinations,
border crossing, roads and driving, trip preparation, vehicle care,
shopping, entertainment, and sports opportunities. It will help you plan
your itinerary and enjoy yourself more while you are on the road.
