MecoLoco Trailer Park near Cancun, MX


We read all sorts of different reports about this campground while planning for this year’s trip, some good, some bad. I would like to report that it is run by a very friendly Mexican family with good English skills so that us Spanglish speakers can actually communicate.

The park has 100 sites with good 15 amp electric power, properly grounded, they have water and sewer connections. They can accommodate the biggest rigs and has room for your Toad. They often host Caravan tours. They are very close to Cancun and the ferry service to Isla Mujeres. There are some shady sites.

The cost is  220 pesos per day or 3300 per month. The best part is that you can leave your rig here while you fly back home for the holidays or whatever. The storage rates are 55 pesos per day or 1100 per month, and it is in a safe walled park in a relatively unpopulated area.
They have Wi-Fi service available with a daily or weekly fee. They are on a busy road with collectivos that run up and down the road every 10 minutes to the shopping areas and the bus terminal in Cancun.

For those that like to take more than a short bike ride, you can bike on paved roads past the Punta Sam ferry, past Isla Blanca (Upscale condo community with huge golf courses) with relatively light traffic.
Now the downside; If you are a beach person the park not on a beach but is across the road from the beach. Public access is not very close. You need to walk about a 1/4 mi in either direction to find a way to get to the beach which is clean except for the piles of seaweed that is typical along the Mayan coast.

There is a mangrove swamp adjacent to the park but the mosquitoes around dusk are not too bad since they fog spray the park with insecticide about once a week.
