RV Campgrounds in Mexico

Can't Post |

Could anyone out there who has driven to Mexico from British Columbia Canada, give us any info on R.V. Campgrounds between Kelowna and Oaxaca. This will be our first time driving down ( flew before) and we will be towing a small 5th Wheel, we'd like to drive along the westside of Mexico.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Monika

Between Kelowna and the Mexican border RV parks aren't much of a problem. On the main roads and most of the secondary ones you can't drive 30 minutes without running into one. Even in the northern states in the winter, there are enough of them open that you can easily find a place to stay on the main highways. On the Interstate highways there are information signs alerting you to their presence.<p>Your best chance for avoiding snow, if you're doing this in the winter, is to go through Eastern Washington and Oregon and then Nevada. Even so, it's better to have flexibility to travel when the weather is good. Trailers dangerous when the roads are icy. You probably already know this, but it's better to say too much than too little.<p>For Mexico, there is only one good reference, Traveler's Guide to Mexican Camping by Church and Church. See the link below. They maintain an updates page at the website.

The Church's book, "Traveller's Guide to Mexican Camping", is a MUST have - make sure you get the 2nd edition. It has clear descriptions of campgrounds & how to get there. You should also buy a "Guia Roji" (Mexican road map book) as soon as you get into Mexico, or before if you can find one. Detailed maps, the best we have seen.
Have fun!!!
