Check-Ins

Huge level lot at the start of the strip. Gate was open and it was a great spot. Close to the airport, and loud from the strip, but couldn’t be better placement.

This was my first stop on my journey through Mexico, which was a little over a 2-hour drive from Mexicali. Initial impressions on Club De Pesca are ‘Wow and Amazing,’ and here is why.

RV Resort:
The office is located at the entrance of the park. The younger manager spoke excellent English and perfectly fluent at it. There was an older gentleman as well that spoke broken English but I was able to communicate with him just fine.

The resort has 31 beachfront sites. Site 101 begins to the left of the store and goes north to site 111. Site 201 begins to the right of the store and goes south to 220.

There is a dump station for the dry campers to use if needed. Also, there is a small grocery store with bare essentials, and it's the location of the wifi. In front of the store, there is a large, covered sitting area where you can hang out with family or friends. It was not busy at all so you could use it as a nice quiet place to sit and read a book.

Sharing the same building, and next to the store is a rec room. You can play ping pong, watch satellite TV, use the kitchen (large gatherings), pick out a book to read on the patio or rent some blowup toys.

The RV park location was perfect for me. Easy walking distance to the center of town via streets or the beach. It’s about a 5 minute bike trip for me.

Camp Sites:
Due to Covid, I'm sure, the resort was less than 50% of capacity during the week I stayed there. Dry to full hookups, 50 amp camping is available. I paid USD $35 per night for sewer, water and a 50 amp service. I stayed at site 111 and used two additional covered areas adjacent to it and parked my truck out of the sun, hung my hammock and created a lounging area. All sites are on a level concrete pad, which was nice to lay the mat out and keep the sand at manageable levels. The site had about an 8’ drop to the beach; however, large boulders were stacked up making it easy for me to enter and exit the beach. I would not recommend it for mobile challenged individuals, elderly or small children, though.

Most sites have covered palapas where you can sit out of the sun or pitch a tent under. Larger sites designed for bigger RV’ don't have them.

If you are highly skilled at backing up and able to thread a needle with your 30+ foot trailer you could probably get into most sites here with a bit of strategy. My 5th wheel is 36’ long and was able to get my RV into site 111 with a bit of strategy and many years of developing my maneuvering skills. I probably would not recommend anything over 40 feet, though.

Beach & Ocean:
Oceanfront and white sandy beach with spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez and its’ spectacular sunrises. High tide cycles every 12 hours and 25 minutes. High tide came to within 25’ of my site and low tide was 300-400 feet out. There are ample amounts of small shells and ocean creature bones along the shoreline that get washed up with the incoming tides. Unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage floating in the water and on the beach too. Lots of plastic cutlery, chip & plastic bags etc. I did my part to leave this area better than it was before my arrival, and if everyone picked up just one piece of garbage during their walks, the beach would be pristine.

During the week the entirety of the beach from north to south is mostly empty of people. The weekends have more people and some bring their quads to boot around on the sand bars during low tides.

Electrical:
The electrical was a bit sketchy, like most RV parks in Mexico. My surge suppressor reported a ‘Ground Fault’ so I was without power from my initial outlet. I moved my plug to the next site I was occupying and that one worked; however, I was getting 130v on one leg and 127v on the second leg of the 50 amp service. I was interrupted from service once with a ‘Ground Fault’ error from that plug but found out the electricians were fiddling with the power and was most likely the cause of the fault. I have 3000 watts of solar on the roof so I didn't notice and outages.

Bugs:
Black flies came out mid-morning and stayed for a few hours until the winds pick up and Mosquitos arrived at dusk but Deep Woods Off kept them at bay. The bugs were annoying but very manageable.

Wifi & Cell Service:
The wifi worked near the store but was slow. You’ll need a booster to get signal to most sites that are away from the access point. They (if management is reading this) really should put in a couple of more access points to increase coverage at or near site 106 and another at site 210.

I have Telcel cellular service and was receiving 3 bars inside my RV. Telcel was fast and reliable.

Weather:
The first week of May brought perfect temperatures. Rarely was there a cloud in the sky and was consistently 28c (82f)+/- degrees during the days. Normally the winds are calm in the mornings and evenings. It starts to get breezy by 10 am when the sun starts to heat things up. The breeze is welcoming because it’s blowing the cooler air off the ocean and into the RV. Because of that I didn’t use my air conditioners even once.

Don't forget to put on your sunscreen!

Summary:
I am recommending this RV Park. I give it 4 out of 5 stars only because of the slow wifi and the lack of coverage to the whole park. Fix the wifi and it would be a 5 out of 5 for me.

Enjoy, have fun and live the dream.

very tight gate to get into when you're pulling in off the highway. not many people here, plenty of room to find a level spot.

This place is permanently closed.

RV park, travelling and permanent. Didn't stay here.
Used dump station and fresh water, looks like they're available all year.
Fee for non-resident, $16.

This place is permanently closed.

When I asked for permission at customer service, he replied that walmart is not the owner of the parking lot and he could then not give us permission. Since there were no other RV, we decided to take our chance to the other Walmart

Since two other walmart do not own the parking lot and cannot grant overnight parking, we call customer service of this one before going and they told us overnight parking was not allowed.

It’s closer to the Easter River

The whole Wascana center is forbidden for overnight parking. A sign at the entrance says so. See picture. Mark this place as closes.

This place is permanently closed.

Tons of dispersed camping spots. Lots of privacy, good dirt road to get around. 3 bars on Verizon.

This place is permanently closed.

Temporarily closed for renovation

Overflow camping for Whitewater Draw. Basically a parking lot, no bathroom, no picnic tables, good cell reception.

Large high-end campsite, a bit impersonal due to its size, impressive bar area over the river, nice ablutions, we paid 120 per person.

This place is permanently closed.

Road is fine for 2wd. Enough room for afew but I didn’t see anyone. Amazing view.

After 1 night here I do not recommend this place. It’s dirty, mosquitoes like I have never experienced... And I’m a super positive person
There are many better options

Many No Camping signs on the way up Smithsonian Butte Rd. Stopped in a flat lot with other campers where there were no signs. Road up was rough and we have 4WD. Good Verizon signal.

No problems with parking, walked around the building and found someone that confirmed it was OK to stay overnight and that security would be informed? Library WiFi disappeared at 9PM but their is a SUSD from the school that works as well

nice and large place. very calm. the road is 300 meters. good to spent a night.

we spent 3 nice nights there. we tried other places like dolphins beach or grosse bucht but each time around 4 or 5pm a thick and cold fog would arrive, "forcing" us to come back here where it was still sunny. one morning we saw a seal right very close to the beach.

this is a wonderful big, flat place next to two trees in top of a mountain with views into two valleys. during the day it was quite windy but the wind stopped in the evening. it's next to a small gravel road with almost no traffic (3 cars passed by when we were here). the road is in good condition, doable with a higher 2wd but I would not recommend it for mobile homes.

spent uneventful night. noisy birds and some road noise. large open parking lot but no dedicated rv spots

Stayed in the back lot next to the gas station where all the truckers were with no problems. I asked inside and they said they assumed it would be fine because all the truckers park there.

A really nice park with free wifi from the town. The park has a stream, playground, skate park, etc. I believe this park closes at sunset, but you could probably still get the wifi around town. The wifi was fast enough for me to stream a show which was awesome.

Very nice spot in the river bank. A lot of firewood. We saw an Himba walking listening music on his smartphone in the late afternoon and two children in the morning. They came to fill water at the river. We gave some food.
