La Palapa RV Camp

Gorgeous ! View lovely beach helpful friendly staff
Love the deck/ porch at each site .

We stopped here for just one night before heading further south, and glad we chose this spot!

Paid $25 USD although we were tent camping so I’m not sure if RVs get charged more. The next door campsite is $40 regardless so this seemed like a good deal.

Beach front palapa we’re all taken but all of them had great views. And if you want to see more beach, just take a walk for about 20 feet.

In the end, we ended up putting our tent on the ground behind our car bc we have two dogs (one elderly and one injured) who had a hard time with the steep stairs, but all worked out perfectly. The platforms are a great spot for a hammock if you’re there for a longer stay.

Hot showers and hot! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with TP. Plenty of plugs to charge gear and phones. If you have an RV, consider traveling with a surge protector. This place is old and it’s Mexico.

The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and our fellow campers were too. Lots of families with kids. Lots of dogs and cats came around hoping for food.

The beach is somewhat private since it’s blocked on both ends by natural rock features. Only our dog went swimming but he had a great time.

La Palapa is located north of the Malecon and is easily found on Google maps. We arrived on a Thursday to beat the President's Day weekend rush and got two beach-facing spaces. A full-time RVer moved from Victor's to join us, and it was a mix of smaller RVs and Car/Tent campers. Several pull-thru spaces. A very friendly crowd, we gathered together several nights. Two were regular, repeat customers who greeted us with information. (Sam the fish man is a great guy, Vietnam vet, and visits 1-2 weekends a month from LA.). He recommended 'The Sweet Spot' for dinner... he was right... find it and go!

The beach is clean, each Palapa has a concrete floor, light, black water dump, water faucet, electrical outlets. Josephina was there it seemed all the time and check-in was a snap, but cash only. Mario was cleaning, raking, even picking up after random animals on the beach, and hosing things down often. The gates are secured at 10 PM, but you can ask for a key before you leave for re-entry.

We looked at all the camps in this area: Kiki's was full of larger RVs and made the beach hard to reach or see. But it looked nice. At the moment, these are the only two worth visiting in the area.

Everyone within La Palapa observed the 10 PM quiet time. Someone had a party down the beach one night; can't control that... at least the music was good! We had zero complaints. Facilities were 'quaint Mexican' but clean and operational thanks to Mario! Someone loosed their beach dogs, but they were friendly and obeyed a stern 'no!' We will definitely be back... in fact, we will return to San Felipe because of La Palapa!
