Totonaka RV Park | Established Campground

May 21st, 2023 by chris.williams

Like many RV parks in Sonora, this one has small spaces that are close together. Hookups worked fine, we had 30amp service. We used this park as a transitory stay for one night.

Nothing wrong with this RV park, other than it's not our first choice of styles. It was clean, and everything worked.

Close proximity to the beach is nice.

Just ok. Can't imagine when full of rvs. Ok stop for us as caravaning with friend who needed a room. Beach full of algae.

This is a awesome little RV hookup spot! It is right off the main road and all you have to do is walk across the street to the main beach. They had okay WIFI but had an awesome pool and great views would definitely recommend! The town itself is really small with small roads and parking spots. This is a great spot to leave your RV and walk around the town.

Large RV park with many amenities. Very clean. Gatekeeper/security guy was very friendly and got me checked in after office was closed. Paid 572 pesos for an electric site. Lots of snowbirds stay here.

The place has nice facilities but I personally will not stay here again. my neighbor had $200 worth of gas siphoned out of her tank at night. The office did nothing when she asked for them to check the cameras. It is quite expensive and the people in the office were not very polite. Use pesos because the conversation to USD is bogus. I had the guy at the counter tell me that the laundry was $1.50 but it only worked with a token that you buy for $2. It's little things like this that make you feel like they are very money hungry. I also received incorrect information about being able to free hike at Canyon Nacapule from the front desk. overall unsatisfied.

Actually a nice large RV park. clean restrooms and showers. Full hookup possible. Washing and drying machines. WiFi is good,if Park is empty. WiFi is very bad, when more than 10 people are here.
Soap and paper towels were not replenished during our 4 days here :-(
Pebble beach (very dirty) across the street. Why plastic, beer bottles, etc. are not cleaned up here is a mystery to me.
But now the little scam:
The prices are shown in US dollars. Dry Camp costs $22 per night ($26 full hookup).
At the moment 1 US Dollar=20,66 Pesos. The Petrol Stations rate here f.e. is 19 Pesos/1 US$!
But the receptionist calculates 1$ = 22 Pesos. He makes his own rating.
1 night dry camp costs real 455 pesos.
But they want 484 pesos.
That is 29 pesos (1,4 US$) too much!
If you pay with credit card, you must pay in pesos, not in US$.
If you pay in Cash USD, it's fine.
For us an absolute no go! Never had this (little scam) in the last 7 months in more than 60 Mexican Campgrounds.

As described, very few campers in June 2022. We had a few issues with the water which kept coming and going in the showers. The power did the same. We were plugged into one of the few 15 amp household plugs that was easily overwhelmed by our modest power demands. We didn’t bring a 30 amp plug this trip and this was the first RV park where this was a problem.
The pool is tiny the street is busy and the music from the restaurants is loud.
It was an odd experience preventing us from relaxing prior to cross the border on our way home. Frustrating but probably not going to be your experience. $26 US per day raised our expectations.

Thumping disco music at all hours - thumping to the point you can feel the beat! It finally died down at 5:30 am. The price one pays for being on the main drag in a professional Mexican party town. Bring ear plugs. Very clean bathrooms with cold showers. Lots of restaurants with thumping music nearby

Always a pleasure. The first and last place I stop going on and out of Mexico.

I stayed here for one month from Jan. 8th to Feb. 8th before heading further south. It is a very well managed park. Mostly full of Canadian and American snowbirds who’ve been going there for years. Price is $26.00USD per night $170.00USD per week or $570.00USD per month. José the manager and Joseph the owner both speak perfect English and are excellent to deal with. Laundry is $1.50USD per load for both the washers and dryers. Both work well and and they do have a clothesline to hang your clothes to dry if you choose. Beautiful beach across the street. Walking distance to everything. Restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Great place to start a journey into Mexico.

Spent 2 nights in a site with no hookups for $22 USD/night. Friendly host with very good English. Many amenities: bathrooms, showers, pool, pickleball court, palapas, fitness room (closed due to COVID), dog run, yards, Wi-Fi. Ley express grocery store 1km further into town on the same side of the street. Quiet in the area, many restaurants & shops closed. Beautiful rocky hills! Very nice stay.

January 3rd, 2022 by wandersandwonders.com

As described by others, large RV park, across street from beach, many US and Canadian RVers here for days, weeks, or months. Clean bathrooms. Friendly and helpful hombre in the office; speaks very good English. Convenience store and restaurants within easy walking distance. Paid $572 pesos for a site with electricity for my Westy.

December 27th, 2021 by jlgg.central

Great place! Wifi great, current price USD$26 or MEX572 full hookups. Pool nice, hot tub only MWF. Bathrooms, coin laundry, fish cleaning room. No grass for dogs but dogs very welcome on leash. Lots of snowbirds here. Easy walk to Ley Supermarket and ATM. Lavanderia across Ley but expensive, just do coin laundry. Will definitely stay here again.

December 16th, 2021 by rae

Personally I would avoid this place if possible
Extremely money oriented and not friendly
We checked it out and they were awful to us so we chose to not stay here
If you need hook ups go to the one on Guaymas
If you don’t need hook ups
The beach near Pilar is lovely and sweet community

We now call the workers at Totonaka Nazis
Though they aren’t exterminating people, they are the first unfriendly and unkind people we have encountered in Mexico

OK spent the night and it was quite noisy. The bar played music till about 2am. Used earplugs and slept ok. Convenient place to stay for 1 night before traveling.

November 28th, 2021 by Michael Head

Very well-maintained RV park.Bathrooms are very clean and the water is hot. USD $18.00 to tent.

November 28th, 2021 by MindBody MotoGirl

Location is really wonderful. Price for tent camping is same, $396 pesos per night. Wifi however is not good at the sites, there are many networks but most except for at the office they are really slow, could barely do anything with the slow connection. The people who work here and stay here are really wonderful. Great coffee shop walking distance. Entrance to the beach is right across the street. Great spot.

May 4th, 2021 by YouTube

It’s a big place in a great location. Very expensive. I’m camping, zero hookups, 400 pesos/$20 us per night. Could get AirBnB for that but the weather is perfect right now. Great bathrooms and WiFi

November 6th, 2020 by Smart as a Goose

$22/ dry camp, $26 hook ups.
Ghost town right now. Seems to be a lot of little dogs barking. Hummingbird came up to me as soon as I got out of the truck.
Bathroom looks nice. Neat the beach is across the street. Getting back into the swing of things. Never report on iOverlander till you stay the night. Yikes. Loud super loud disco across the street. Horrible.
we moved as far back into the park as possible still loud and pounding. So sad.
The bathrooms have been redone. Very nice and clean.
However the toilet seat was not secured. Beware

San Carlos RV Park has over 100 spaces, but November-March many escape Canadian Winter making it a local party park. Spaces are tight with utilities questionable; water pressure low but showers good, electricity surges so bring your protection

February 17th, 2020 by 1lovelylifetolive

RV park with 30/50amp + water sometime + sewer. Friendly and acomadating manager, Jose. close to all amenities, pool is not heated. beautiful Sandy Beach across the road. will return.

February 4th, 2020 by gizmo276

Favorite RV park in San Carlos, been here many times!

February 3rd, 2020 by azarbajan

Typical older RV Park rough road, poor utility placement and narrow sites, but people are friendly

November 25th, 2019 by Doug McGrew

Very nice RV park located in San Carlos Sonora Mexico. Located just across the highway from a beautiful rocky beach. Power was 30 amp, Water pressure very low, filled fresh water tank and used pump to shower. Site was gravel/dirt with a concrete pad. Price was $21.00 per night for 7 days. Likely 70% Canadian campers, all were very friendly and helpful. Close to restaurants and shopping. I camped in this park with a 40’ fifthwheel.

November 8th, 2019 by donna.steensma

San Carlos, Sonaloa. Across from the beach, have to walk across the street. 140 sites. Motel is also on the grounds. We paid 444 pesos/nt.
Inconsistent electric power. We bought a voltage regulator when we were here. Helpful staff. Stayed a week. There is one Pickleball court &
small pool.

October 30th, 2019 by alexmannucci

Great campground! So nice to get a break from the road. Enjoyed the pool yesterday and going to the beach across the street today. Staff at the entrance is very very nice and speaks perfect english. 24$ a night with all services and excellent wifi. (28$ for 50 amp) great restaurant with view on the ocean right next door. They even deliver if you want to eat on the tables by the pool. Only down is water pressure but we kept our pump on and refill when needed. Easy fix for small problem.

April 3rd, 2019 by m.m.e.gonecamping

Nice enough spot with all the amenities except water pressure at the sites. But we can tell we are getting close to the US. All prices increasing rapidly. 420 pesos per night.

March 17th, 2019 by ronworf911

They are very accommodating on short notice. It's a busy park, with a significant return customer base. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The wifi and water pressure were both very weak, and I was told by a resident that the electric is spotty during the summer, but it was fine while I was there. Kind of expensive for what you get. There is a large vacant property located right next door and I'm surprised no one has scooped it up to create a competing park.

March 1st, 2019 by vandajenner.wordpress.com

Booked for a week, stayed for winter! Great spot, friendly helpful staff. New bathrooms, vey well kept. Sporadic water pressure, keep rv tanks full and use pump when pressure low.

December 29th, 2018 by karen

Beautiful new bathrooms, lovely hot showers, friendly English-speaking staff. $20 without hookups. Clean but kind of ugly but great location. Kind of a young retirees party scene.

December 28th, 2018 by bliary.com

$24 USD per night, or $22 per night paid by the week. Okay place, 30 amp service. Provided internet was good enough. Sign at entry says no outside vendors or services, you must use the parks vendors for anything. You cannot wash you own RV, but can pay them to do it.

November 22nd, 2018 by tomkai07

camping à l'américaine en bord de route. piscine ridicule et froide. proprio parle anglais. il n'y a que des américains et des canadiens.

November 18th, 2018 by infinitycoach

Very clean and great services. Nice one nite stop. Speak English $24.00 a night. Pool and pickle ball courts are new

October 26th, 2018 by Art and Jean

RV site $420 + cabana $500, for 2 people in each. Cabana is basic, but clean, as are the washrooms. Pool is VERY small. Nice location, with several restaurants nearby, and a small store.

October 21st, 2018 by instagram.com/samujodokuskwak

everything was fine except the Mosquitoes which are like fckng everywhere
- still 400 pesos
- clean pool
- laundromat

would recommend it

September 12th, 2018 by nomadenleben.ch

The RV Park was almost empty. There was only a guard on duty. He spoke only Spanish. We had an issue with the electricity. Our display said there is no electricity, but there was. We paid MEX 420.-. Showers and toilet were great.

July 7th, 2018 by Ebyakin

$24 full hookup there was no water for the 24 hours, but we were refused to refund any amounts. Stayed here 2 nights. Not bad

March 14th, 2018 by oroosqoo

We were on our way to see the RV Park and our engine started stalling We parked about a block away and walked to the RV Park to see if they knew of a mechanic The man there said since we weren’t staying at the park he couldn’t help us He was really rude We had to walk to another business to find the name of a mechanic When we told the mechanic about the reception we received at the RV Park he said their reputation was one of rudeness and arrogance We got our RV fixed but decided not to stay there We wild camped and it was very lovely The RVs were jammed in there like sardines The pool was as small as a postage stamp A lot of permanent residents there who seemed to enjoy pickle ball We are just used to better and for us wild camping was definitely better

February 12th, 2018 by bediebedo

expensive but nice and clean ! beach on the other side of the road

January 21st, 2018 by El Carrito Azul

Good RV-Park, but overcrowded if not packed, rv's even outside of the official sites. 20$ without and 24$ with full - hookup.

December 7th, 2017 by katiempike

Great RV park. Nice pool/spa and a pickle ball court. Friendly manager and very clean facilities. It appeared crowded, but most RVs are not occupied.

October 27th, 2017 by luciano_durietz

All good!
We slept in our van but put the tent so they charge as a tent... Next to the site is the best italian pizza and in beaches pretty close you can snorkel or scuba dive! Nice town! We'll be back

October 21st, 2017 by projetalaia

Very friendly staff. 400$ with full hook up.
Free Wifi but slow.
Clean bathrooms and shower

October 5th, 2017 by rhuntting

A nice quiet, clean place across the street from the ocean. 425 pesos for full hookup.

August 27th, 2017 by Travelurdreams.com

This is a full service RV park. We paid 300 pesos for one night of vehicle camping. Would have been cheaper if we had a tent. They had electricity and water at the site. Weak wifi unless you go to the front office building. They had a couple clean pools, bathrooms with showers and coin laundry available.

July 20th, 2017 by CocoFé

As described. 350 pesos for a place without hook-up (but with shade, acess to the showers and fast wifi).

February 9th, 2017 by alicia.holek

American style campground. Very well maintained. Internet was up & down. $20 U.S. Or 350p for a site without hookups but access to the showers.

January 27th, 2017 by Carol Mifsud

Been in Totonaka RV Park for 3 weeks now. Nice clean park. Clean bathrooms with showers. Showers are ok, but tend to be either too hot or a bit colder than I like. Wi-fi varies from great to slow, but I hear it's very good if you go to the "clubhouse". Pickleball court, pool & hot tub. Pool is a bit cold and hot tub is pretty good with temperatures being similar to most US or Canada hotels (a bit cooler than I prefer a hot tub to be). English speaking owner & manager. Friendly staff. Close to some restaurants. We have power, water & sewer hook up. Some cable channels (not great quality picture, but it is in English). Propane, bottled water & fish vendors come here. Coin laundromat on site. My first real RV park in Mexico and I'm pleased with it.

January 20th, 2017 by francoisviano

Endroit très calme fréquenté principalement par des nord américains détendus, 400$ la nuit.
Accès plage de l'autre côté de la route

November 26th, 2016 by ykphil

Great spot to stop for the night. Clean, well maintained, warm showers, very clean bathrooms, relatively good wifi. $14 USD or 245 pesos for a tent without power but with water. Across from a nice beach. No local food (mamacita's taqueria...) or mercado at a walking distance, just pricey restaurants, so go grocery shopping before you settle down otherwise your only option is the OK convenience store a hundred metres away. It's an RV park, don't expect nature and solitude.

November 21st, 2016 by 4runner4adventure.com

Arrived after 6:00 pm and the office was closed but security was able to help us out and get us a spot. Bathrooms were clean. $350 pesos

April 20th, 2016 by The Next Big Adventure

Rv park in San Carlos. Across street from beach. Full hookups and some hotel rooms. Small pool, nice pickle ball court, and hot showers. Walking to stores and restaurants. $24/night

November 15th, 2015 by facebook.com/ouritchyfeet

Good place to set your feet after the first day's drive into Mexico ... $25us ... Good local bus service right outside the park ..

July 30th, 2015 by ClassicStrider

Nice campground. Helpful, English speaking. Good recreation room for working in. Internet poor where we were at the site, but fine in the recreation room.

March 18th, 2015 by Freedom With Bruno

$14 USD to camp. Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly owner who spoke english. Peaceful night in San Carlos! Would recommend. Only downside was slow/not functional WiFi.

January 21st, 2015 by Neli's Big Adventure

Snowbird RV park. Huge bathrooms, hot showers, all amenities at sites, wifi (varies between super slow and super fast), laundry room on premises. Water and propane trucks come daily. 24 USD/night, cheaper the longer you stay. Credit cards, pesos or usd accepted.

December 18th, 2014 by On the Pan American Highway
