New RV Park near Acapulco Mexico
Here is what we can tell you about the park
in written form, along with a couple of pictures, (a picture is worth a
thousand words? They say) First the directions to here are the same as to
the Old KOA (Playa Luces). From
there keep going past to Kilometer 9.6 and a yellow gate on your left marked
by a flag “Sol y Arena”, ring the bell for attendant.
This little park was
completed this summer and early fall, and is now ready for 4 big rigs RVs
(our unit is 40 with a motorcycle rack making us 44 ft. 6 in. and we had no
trouble to get in and situated on the lot.) Each lot is a “back in variety”
and of a good size for awnings and lawn chairs, and good living area that is
not crowded. Approximate lot size is 32 wide by 50 plus or minus long, each
has a power pedestal, c/w one - 20
amp breaker and std two duplex
boxes with 2 prong plugs c/w ground all properly installed, one -
40 amp breaker and power outlet box,
(wired for 30 amp RV plugs). Each
site has a 5 ft. diameter x 2 ft 6in deep personal dipping pool, palapa and
interlocking patio. Sites are
nicely ornate with newly planted hedges of flowering bushes on both sides
and back to give more privacy in future when grown. So far in the three days
we have been here the power is a steady and even source of 118 volt… no
noticeable spikes or drops. There is plenty of water to be had…. for pool
filling and RV. We personally
have a RO system with our own booster pump and we have no trouble filling
our tank… I have check and would expect for nor mal filling of tanks the pressure, however, is not extreme but
sufficient for filling even with a simple filter system.
Water seems to clean and clear, with no odors. The Sewer connections
are nicely placed mid ship of lot, and on drivers side when backed in for
ease of both big rigs and trailers. The gated entrance and drive way in is
narrow but well packed, the gate is closed all the time and there is a bell
buzzer for the attendant, the family at gate are present 24 hr a day and we
feel very secure. The gate to
the beach is also gated and locked at night. Spanish is spoken, however, we,
a couple of
Canadians, are here for the winter and will help out with English, and
Spanglish.. ha! The beach and the pounding surf is a short walk past the
bungalows and main pool, ( which is delightfully clean ) has a palapa with
hammocks for day use, also on bungalow side there are two jetted tubs for a
Jacuzzi with a possible wine and sun set viewing??? Nearly too good to be
true, for sure! The beach offers miles and miles of nice sand both wet and
dry to walk on…. Ocean swimmers would want to be strong ones at this time of
year. It is quiet and away from
the hustle and bustle…..of the city, or towns, but if you want that it is a
short drive away. For details on availability and cost please contact Maria

Nogales to Salina Cruz Road Log
and Dri ving Guide
We are
confident that our road logs and driving guides will make your highway
experiences just that much better and easier. Regardless of whether you are
driving an RV or a suburban, a bike or a pick-up, our road logs will assist your journey. Even 20
year veterans of the route have benefited from the information.
The KM markings are the markings that you will see as you drive. It doesn't
matter if your vehicle reads in miles or kilometers. You just read the signs
on the road to get your bearings. Sometimes one highway combines with
another and old kilometer signs are left up. Not to worry, just continue to
read the guide.
Some of the best navigation points are the Pemex Station numbers clearly
marked on all gas station signs. Topes (Mexican speed bumps) are marked in
the guide just to remind you to go slow. We included Military and
Agriculture check points even though we know these can change frequently.
(Generally they are on one side of the state border or another between the Mexican
states.)
