Description
Fenced dirt lot off a road opposite Pemex 7719, about 1/4 km. a few hundred feet south of the San Miguel toll booth. 300 Pesos (15 USD). No facilities offered: no electricity, water, dump, WiFi, bathroom or shower. Per previous visitor, the owner is planning to install RV hookups and start offering these in Jan 2019, but during our visit at the end of March 2019, only dry camping (boondocking) for 300 pesos was offered.

Latest Check-Ins
El Jito has contacted Caravans of Mexico with the information that they are permanently closing Dec 15, 2022. Too bad as it was quieter than a gas station, and a convienent location.
Report Check-InOur experience was quite different than the previous poster's. Nice clean bathrooms and showers; no bad smells. Perhaps the strong north wind took the smell somewhere else? And perhaps someone cleaned up? The whole place is clean and tidy - no garbage; grounds recently raked.
The dogs are ok. The big black one is very friendly.
Yes, in Mexico we expect more for 400 pesos. But on this day I needed good wifi. And the good security is always nice.
Note - when we arrived the outer gate was chained and locked. Looked like no one around. While stopped at the gate considering our options, the caretaker shuffled down the road to the gate to let us in. The folks that arrived later just honked, so maybe that's the drill.
Report Check-InPrice is now 400 pesos/night. The bathrooms are about 3 years old and falling apart: doors no longer close, holes in the wall up high, holes in the roof that might be for a fan. The bathrooms are dusty but everything works. Dry camping, WiFi works well, a little highway noise.
Report Check-InUghhh
Smell of a feedlot
We couldn’t breathe
And filthiest bathrooms in our 5 months on the road in Mexico
Would only return if I had zero other options
400 pesos for no services at all except WiFi
Report Check-InUn bon arrêt à cet endroit où il n’y a rien. Cependant beaucoup de moustiques et les chiens ne sont pas friendly ce sont des chiens de garde donc vous ne pouvez pas vous promener dans l’enceinte comme vous le souhaitez. Nous sommes arrivés à 16h et sommes restés au camion jusqu’au lendemain 7h. Les toilettes et salle de bain étaient très sale nous ne les avons pas utilisées. Nuit tranquille et en sécurité.
Report Check-InBig change in price, went from 200, to 400, which I can’t justify in any way. I use no service at all. I won’t be back . This is unfortunate, as it was a good stopping point. Pemex next time
Report Check-InMosquitos this time of year. Watch your belongings. The dogs will pee on them if left on the ground.
Report Check-InThis RV Park so far is great. There are 2 dogs that bark off and on when we arrived. The directions to this rv park indicates to keep traveling south and then do a u-turn in town. We did this but the older owner said that you can turn left directly after the toll booth. Check out the business card picture.
We stayed inside the inner gate. You have your choice to camp inside or outside. BOTH areas are gated. So far we feel safe. Will have to report tomorrow after spending the night. Paid 400p or US $20 .
Spent the night and the dogs only barked when we walked to the restrooms. The road was noisy but OK since El Jito was easy access from the highway.
Report Check-InSafe place to sleep. With shower and Wifi. But quite expensive for what they offer.
Report Check-InNice place for one night.
Very helpful owners!
quiet and secure at night.
good effort.
300 pesos, or $15us
bano. toilet and shower in small room. clean.
no hot water. warm and fine
no wifi. it had rained, perhaps reason it didn't work.
no rest. two big dogs barking all night. just when you're asleep, they bark again.
highway noice. jake brakes before toll booth.
That being said, it's very kind of Yani and Anita to welcome you into their little piece of heaven.
they lock you in at night safe and secure.
it's a Mexico moment for sure!
Highly secure place. Outer fence line is a large area with no hookups. In the inner fenced in area you’re in with ducks, goats etc. and electric fencing, if it works. Jonny is the man. Even though I speak Spanish, he practices his English on you. Los Mochis area has been missing a stop point for quite a few years.
Today, even the empty lot beside the old Chinese restaurant wouldn’t let us park because of Covid-19. But El Jito opened their gates for us. Thanks Johnny. $250 pesos for dry camp and $500 pesos with power.
Nice flat field for a stop over night. Friendly owners and very accommodating. Dirt field with no services but just fine for a single night stay while traveling north or south. Owner prefers American cash, $10.00, we paid 200 peso’s for one night.
Report Check-InGreat place for an overnight stop. 200 pesos good wifi clean banos shower. Very secure. Big rigs at front smaller inside. Man guides you in
Report Check-InUpdate as of March 2,2020: that’s a dry camp but it has hot showers very clean and very good pressure ! The wifi is one of the best we have used so
far in Mexico and the owner Señor Johnny and Anita his wife were there to welcome us and made us feel like family ! It is a very good stop for a night when stop and go ! Double fenced : 200 pesos still. Quiet and safe , vigilante on place all night.
Very nice basic family run place to park for night. They have hot showers now. Not much else
Report Check-InIts a perfect place for one night. Very friendly people. Clean washroom with clean shower. Wifi is OK. A safe place behind a electric fence. OK for all size of rigs. Easy access from the Hyw 15 D.
Report Check-InThis is a fantastic overnight spot! And the owner needs and deserves your business! Stop here and it will become even better. You,ve got showers with hot water and toilets, the place is clean and fenced in, so it feels very safe.
Report Check-InGreat overnight spot. Felt very safe in big gated area with electric fence.
Owner was very welcoming and speaks English very well. Invited us in for drink and chat.
Clean bathrooms with shower. Mirror and sink outside. Wifi code right on mirror. Paid 200 pesos for dry camping but services available if we needed them.
Down: you can hear traffic and trucks from the road but we’ve been too much worse places.
Definitely recommend for a safe stopover.
There is even a small basic playground and farm animals.

Report Check-InJust off hwy 15. North of Los Mochis.
Power at about 6 -8 sites. Dogs on the property that are kennelled when guests arrived. We were in the dry camping area with no services. He charged 200 pesos which is too much. 100 would have been fair. Very dusty.
Presently under development so Dry Camping Gated compound very easy access from 15D . Northbound turn right opposite Pemex 9917 stay straight. Small sign visible near gate. 200 pesos /night. Before San Miguel Toll. Photo is of business card below for contact phone numbers.
Report Check-InFenced dirt lot near 15D and Pemex. Previous visitor in december 2018 mentioned that the owner would start offering hookups in January 2019, however, when we visited end of march 2019, still no facilities available (no electricity, no water, no bathroom, no WiFi). Pretty much same experience as camping at the secured gas stations in Los Mochis (free) but El Jito charges 200 pesos (10 USD). This would be more acceptable if any services were offered but not even a bathroom is available at this time (unlike at Pemex where you can use the bathroom and even pay for a hot shower). We camped in the outer fenced area as the small inner fenced area has 3-4 dogs running around who didn't seem too friendly to our dog.
Report Check-InPretty much as described. I was directed inside which was a mistake for my 34 foot 5th wheel. Backed out and parked in the outside area. The man who speaks English is not here, an elderly farmer who spoke no English is who I have seen . Don't know price yet. Remember big rigs outside!
Report Check-InUn buen lugar para dormir. Muy tranquilo. Silencioso. Todo muy básico. Agua. Electricidad...
Report Check-InJust to clarify a few things since the previous post was purely informational. Not sure why location is called RuizRanch. I chatted at length with the owner who speaks good English and whose name is Adrian Felix Gutierez, but he likes to go by Yani Felix. He showed me the sign he had painted with the name of the RV park: El Jíto. He was very gracious and friendly and willing to help us any way he could. The campground was made up of both an outer fence and an inner fence. He’s created two separate camping compounds: a fenced outside compound intended for larger rigs, and an electrified fence (¡No toques la valla, señor!) inside compound for smaller rigs. We stayed in the inner compound, which is also Yani’s farm, full of ducks and geese, pigs, and other farm animals. He has fruit trees all around. All the information in the previous post (see pdf link in website address) is accurate. There is no WiFi or amenities of any kind, unless you count the lime trees and electrified fence. We didn’t need any water, but he would have probably given us some if we asked. Yani says services will come maybe one month, maybe two. He proudly showed us around the farm, including the paplapa he had built for future RVers. The fenced campground on the right is easy to miss, but as we were driving slowly, we noticed a señora waving at us. Our price for one night was ten American dollars, certainly pricey for no services, but Yani’s hospitality and a good night’s sleep was worth it.
Report Check-InThis is a new place. It is currently dry camping, but will have the start of services for RV's (electricity, water, sewer) starting in Jan 2019. It is off a road opposite Pemex 7719, about 1/4 km. a few hundred feet south of the San Miguel toll booth. Please note the checked amenities are in progress.No website, not sure about WiFi. The linked pdf contains info. It is accessible lboth north & southbound off hwy 15D. Oxxo store in walking distance. No idea of prices for dry camping or with services, but they will be reasonable.
