Mar Esmeralda RV place | Established Campground

January 25th, 2024 by mwavesdave

Our fourth visit here, and our last. Of 18 sites with power, only two are grounded. This was pointed out to the owner, by the Mexican leader of a caravan of 7 rigs. Owner doesn't care. Water pressure has been non-existent. RVers should avoid spending 200 p/p per night for what is realistically boondocking.

Very nice lots, big rigs and pets welcome.
Showers and toilets are on site as well as a wading pool and a separate swimming pool. A short walk to the beach ⛱️.
Friendly staff and close to amenities.

our second season stopping here. Love it. 400 Pesos a night. full hookups, but test outlets first. Some are reverse polarity, or ground fault, but we found a good one.

Spent 3 days there. 3 services (or supposed).
200p/person/night. Travelling with a 24feet RV.
Clean swimming pool.
Nice beach.
windy when we were there.
very low water pressure.
Irregular power. My phone was plugged in a whole night and I had 1% in the morning. Back to "normal" (that is charging when plugged), in the morning. Fortunately, we didn't need to use our AC.
70p to go to Casitas (next pueblo) to the restaurant, tienda and pescaderia. We asked the Lady from the campground to call a cab for us.

stayed 2 nights here. there is water and electric hookup. It is right on the beach but water was too rough to get in but great to walk on.
only reason I would not recommend this place is washrooms... they were discusting ( one was full of gigantic cocroaches that were laying around) and the second washroom we used was not cleaned once during the stay...showers full of sand and shower water pools on the floor inundation the entire place including the toilet area!. it's a shame as I thing the buildings are fairly new just needs to be properly cleaned .

$200 per person per night. COVID $$ inflation? I’m OK with it. They probably had no business for a year. We are alone here. Full hookup. Power shows 133V, but under load it is 125V. Has either bad ground or some polarity issue depending on which tester I use. Good enough to run battery charger to make up for solar deficit. WiFi is 10Mb down. Good Telcel signal. Dump at sites is worth a lot. Bathrooms look OK, but we will use ours. Trailer and pickup rig.

Nice place to relax. We spent 5 days there. Busy on Sunday but we had the camping for our own from Sunday night till Friday morning. It's wide open with direct access to the beach. Payed 300 pesos per night with water and electricity. Didn't use the toilets or shower..... Not clean enough...wifi not working perfectly but enough to use it from time to time

Nice clean pool. Water pressure is low. Electricity has a poor ground circuit and resulted in us getting shocks from our camper so we are not using the electric connection. If you are camped near the ocean then traffic noise is minimal. Paid $260 pesos for 2 people and truck camper

Nice place on the beach. Has WiFi and clean restrooms. They allow pets. You get a nice cabina roof area w sink and table with counters. They are currently replacing the palm roofs on many of the sites. Pretty primitive. No hook up or dump station. The highway is loud and near.

Campsites are by or in front of huge palapas. Every palapas has full hookup. The pool area is well maintained and restrooms and showers are clean. WIFI is super fast at the office. We paied 100 pesos per people/night.

Very nice as compared to the other campgrounds we have seen along this strip of beach... Comes at a price though, $300mxn per night (2 people). We didn't shop around though because we needed a place to dump our black/gray holding tanks. This place has that at most sites, plus electricity and water (and a little dish/laundry sink) in each palapa. It's actually quite charming overall... Nice pool and tower structure that you can climb up to a sun deck. The bathrooms/shower are nice. Water pressure is poor.

Very nice place (compared to the others along this strip of beach), but it's true that it's more expensive. We stayed here because we needed to dump the holding tanks and were unaware of any other that would have that service. $300mxn for 2 people. We're the only ones here on a Saturday, possibly because the weather is terrible. No negotiation to be had on the price. The whole town seems devoid of tourists for some reason.

It is a Balenario with a lot of Palapas. You stay in front of a Palapa with full hook up and your own sink with running water. If you stay in the first row you can see the ocean and the beach. The bathroom was not clean and the showers did not work. Wifi on the office. We paid 150 per person per night. If you see how many other possibilities you have close by, It is too expensive.

Nous sommes bien accueillis par le propriétaire, 300 pesos par nuit. Beau palapa avec tous les services. La piscine est très belle et propre. WiFi disponible.
