Info
(PRWEB) February 23, 2005 -- New RV travelers to
Mexico will now get a chance to drive with experienced RVers south of
the border without spending thousands of dollars to join a commercial
caravan. Bill and Dorothy Bell who have extensively traveled to over 400
RV and camping locations throughout Mexico and have the largest web site
on camping in Mexico will lead the caravan starting in late October of
2005 from Tucson Arizona to la Penita Nayarit Mexico.
Many first time road travelers to Mexico are
a little nervous� says Dorothy Bell, but with this caravan, they will
receive assistance on the proper documentation needed to cross the
border plus they will receive an extensive four hour course on traveling
in Mexico before they start. Included is a Mexico On The Road In CD.
The caravan meets up on October 24th and
leaves for San Carlos Sonora Mexico on the 26th where it will pause for
two nights at the El Mirador RV Park. Then it's off to Los Mochis for
one night, followed by two nights in Mazatlan. The final destination is
the La Penita RV Park.
La Penita is one of the best RV Parks in
Mexico. It is one if not the most active parks in terms of events and
activities. Situated on a bluff over overlooking the Pacific Ocean the
views are considered magnificent.
Although the caravan portion of the trip is
free, those wishing to participate must guarantee a month stay at the La
Penita RV Park and pay a $25 per person registration fee to a maximum of
$50 per RV.
The RV Park is situated on a small hill and
only a few hundred feet from the water�s edge. It has 110 full hookups
as well as lots of tent spots. The resort boasts excellent drinking
water at no additional cost and offers all the extras such as pool and
hot tub cable or satellite TV. Reasonably priced at $425 per month, It's
open November through April.
The town of La Penita is on the Pacific less
than an hour drive from Puerto Vallarta and just north across the river
from Rincon de Guayabitos.
Bell and her family have traveled by RV to
Mexico since 1988, first making the trek in a Volkswagen Westphalia,
then a 28-foot-trailer. They currently travel in a 28 foot-foot Class-C
motorhome.
"We have taken pictures and GPS readings of
virtually every RV and campsite in Mexico and now people can look them
up on the her website by name or by clicking on the various maps that
show where every site is located," Bell said.
Bell's web site also prepares the traveler to
make travel in Mexico as enjoyable as it is in the rest of North
America. It lists the requirements of documentation, insurance and
driving tips, etc., as well as specific site and park recommendations.
