Stake You Claim! We have broken ground on this brand new RV Resort with 37 sites all with views of the ocean, the beach, the coco grove below or the Sierra Madres. We open for business October 2007 and have already begun to take reservations.

Rancho Buganvilias, nicely situated on 8.5 acres on top of a hill overlooking the blue pacific with an outstanding white sand beach, tranquil coco groves and easy beach access just below. Sites are large, most are 6 meters wide at the entrance and fan out to 7 meters or more with privacy provided by tropical plants, flowers and trees. All sites have full hook-ups and patios. Bathrooms and showers are on site and laundry service will be available. A common area, with a kitchen and patio is available for dinners and parties and eventually a small restaurant with a pool will be on site.

Mangos, tamarindos, bananas, limes, and coco orchards all reside in harmony in this area and make for very nice and quiet neighbors. The beach is a short, easy walk down our hill on a small and virtually private walkway. When you get to the beach you will find that it is wide and flat, perfect for those who enjoy a leisurely stroll and/or to get a bit of exercise as well. It is quite comfortable to spend an entire day under an umbrella reading and taking some sun. The water is a comfortable temperture all winter long and although the waves can get big, they get big way out and you can easily refresh and swim in the more calm water by the shore. The beach stretches for 8 uncrowded miles and you can easily walk to nearby La Placita Beach which offers local seafood restaurants to enjoy.

We are located 3 hours south of Melaque/Barra de Navidad, 2 hours south of Manzanillo and just 5 minutes south of the small pueblo of La Placita, where you can get your basic groceries and visit local shops. We are 45 minutes from larger Tecoman, where there is a Bodega (Walmart) and Mercado Soriana. These are good places to stock up on your supplies and they also have a great selection of meats, cheeses and wines.

If you are tired of overcrowded RV Parks and would like to get in on the ground floor of something new and beautiful, this may be the place for you. So, stake your claim now... and insure your winter residence!
What People are Saying
Many of you know Dot and Bill Bell from their website ontheroadin.com and their wonderful road maps. We were thrilled to have them come and visit us and do a review of the property. Here is what they said, and if you would like to go to their site and follow their current travels in Mexico, here is the link:

LA PENITA TO IXTAPA

Next day proved to be the hardest as we were hoping to make it to Ixtapa. As noted below this was not be the case, but before the water pump blew, we had a chance to check out the new RV park on the coast of the State of Michoacán, south of the town of La Placita. The owners, a friendly American couple, Sandy and Cynthia, have been working hard o get this Rv Park ready for the upcoming season. In our humble opinion, their plans and the need for park will be a big hit for those RV’ers who want to experience true Mexican beachside rving. Close enough to the Tecoman Guadalajara Highway, (an hour’s drive), those RV’s who worry about the switch back narrow roads along the Michoacán coastline, will only face a few miles of tough driving. (Well worth the effort for the un-spoilt beaches). The town of Placita is picturesque with a nice zocolo in the town’s center. Small grocery stores, fresh vegetable and fruit markets are in full operation and best of all, the local population is very friendly and helpful. The RV Park itself is an easy short drive off of highway 200 and is on a small hill overlooking the fabulous beaches of Michoacán and a coconut grove. Big rv spots, and 30 amp power. As it is new, there are no shade trees as yet. The eventual design and layout of the RV Park will allow for a feeling of openness (no sardines here) and the majority of sites will have views, with several having unprecedented vistas. The beach is just a short walk and according to Sandy, the pacific is safe for swimming. A pool is in the making (this may not be ready for opening but will ready soon after). If you are an adventurous rver who stays for three months or more a year, this is a chance to get in on the ground floor of what will become a popular destination rv park on the Mexican Pacific coast. It won’t b perfect this year and we are sure the owners will have a few more bumps and hiccups in getting it right…but it could prove to one of the best rv parks on Pacific coast.
