"Sweet spot facing the Sea of Cortez and surrounding islands"
This is a special place. Campo Archelon started out as a sea turtle research center fighting for more protection of the turtles and its connection with nature is still felt.

"Country field in a wide open dirt lot"
This was the only open RV park in the area of Cataviña. It's a wide open flat dirt lot with a few trees and a few structures which include a restaurant and a flush toilet. We did not use the toilet. It's off the highway just enough to make it a...

When we arrived (a...

"Great for the price, wonderful host and beautiful beach"
This RV park is reached by a road just a bit further along Mex 1 than the road to El Pabellon RV Park. Fidel is the host and his house is next to the campground.
The approach is on gravel and hard packed sand for about a mile, not bad.
