La Peñita RV Resort

Probably the Friendliest RV Park in Mexico

“Hey Carole…Where’s my free Margarita?” This may well be the most friendly RV Park in Mexico. Welcome to La Peñita RV Park well marked on Highway 200 on the West Coast of Mexico.

Carole Thacker can’t make their signature welcome drink quick enough for the hundreds of RV'ers that call this RV Park home for the winter. Like Carole and her husband Grant, many snowbirds come here year after year for the weather, the beaches and warm hospitality.

The Thacker’s have been coming to this RV Park for 11 years. When La Penita’s Mexican owner was going to call it quits three years ago, Carole convinced him to lease it to her instead. “I love this place too much to let it go.”

And there is a lot to love. 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. The weather is fantastic and the people lack the pretentious airs found at many resort communities.

 

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 $15 per night with discounts for longer stays. It is open from November 1st to May 1st.

“We are like a family here,” says Carole, "and we welcome newcomers to just join in. People keep coming back year after year because it is so much fun and we socialize a lot. You can enjoy the activities or just sit back and enjoy the sun.” Typically there are picnics, games, pot lucks and other joint activities. Wallyball, bridge, craft clubs. Fishing, boating and water sports are solidly part of the “Penita“ experience with boat launching and charter facilities close by.

Carole and Grant are currently preparing for the long drive down from their winter home on Vancouver Island, BC. They insist visitors this year will have high speed internet one way or another and are exploring the possibilities of 2 way satellite. They can currently be reached at cthacker@oberon.ark.com for questions or reservations. Ask to be on their email list and get park updates on a regular basis.

“Tell them to ask for their welcome Margarita, “ says Carole. “Cold and hard.”
