Wow, that place charges $5500.00 a month for a 15x40-foot "camping spot" and access to a pool with 200+ other campers competing for pool time?

If this is so, I could rent a private 5 bedroom villa on 5 acres, designed and built by a world-famous architect, with several hot tubs, an olympic-sized pool, replete with an additional guest-house, and a reading Pavillion(!), with a private dock set up for a 100-foot yacht, and a full-time cook, a maid, a DEDICATED full-time armed guard specifically stationed at the villa replete with automatic weapon, and a Land Rover rental, on a beautiful Caribbean Island just 25-minutes flight from Grand Cayman Island, 13-minutes flight to Mainland-- all for under $6000 a month!!!

Someone here is making a bundle on this Mexican campground; if it's full, what's the secret ??

Cheers,

...OK, then I digress

$550 USD a month seems like a very, very good deal for the facility pictured above!

Thanks Rocmoc. $550.00 includes 30AMP which is very rare in Mexico. To be able to have everyone running their A/C units is luxury in itself. The pool never has more than 5 people in it except over the Xmas season and it is cleaned daily which is another luxury in a Mexican campground. One is treated to magnificent sunsets, dolphins playing in the surf and the whales cruising past as well as the giant turtles coming up on the beach to lay their eggs. The beach itself is fairly empty other than walkers and runners. Sometimes there will be as many as 10 people watching the sunset. It doesn't get much better for the price.

Sorry folks, I got my posts confused. This was meant for "Are reservations needed".

JHarpJ et al,
OK, were you taking notes. This CG is twenty minutes from Acapulco,
has beachfront sites with private minipool, for $18 bucks a night.
Now picture this, you & "she who must be obeyed" are sitting in your campsite dipping your feet in your private pool while a cold cerveza is brought by your waiter as you watch the turtles laying their eggs on the beach while dolphins frolic under the crimson sunset.
Priceless!

Your description is perfect except for the turtles, they only come up at night.
