private RV parking

[DonJuane]

Well everyone, I know you missed me - have been away on a 6 month Central America Sojourn and just returned! What a spectacular journey! I would say that it's good to be back but my adventuresome spirit always leaves me wondering what is better, the road or home.

Regarding the RV Park .... You didn't mention the size of the RV but I would not really attempt Morrill with anything larger than a pickup style camper. Not only is the road narrow and windy, it is "Guanajuato tough" . The only way I could imagine you would get a big rig in there is set up a few friends and have someone cross block their autos both below the campground and at the panoramica and then hope the police don't come while you drive the wrong way down from the panoramica rather than up through the typical Guanajuato nightmare passageway. And that's not to mention that most conventional RVs are very heavy and the engine might not have the capacity or they have overhangs on the back that scrape and sometimes drag off the undercarriage plumbing with the sharp changes in angles up, the limbs will overhang some areas and the streets are hard to navigate. In fact after touring most of the US west coast and most all of Mexico and Central America, I would rate Guanajuato as one of the top ten most challenging places to navigate a RV.

Otherwise the park that is 9KM toward San Miguel de Allende is on perfect flat land access but does take a little longer to get into town and is serviced by bus as well. Last time I checked, Carlos the owner was working on the showers at Bugamville (last year) so not sure of the status now. Since he had the rare Mexico luxury of sewer hook-ups, if there's a shower in the rig you can just use that. But I'd give him a call.

So good luck to your friends and I sincerely hope they are skilled navigators when they arrive here. It's not for the faint of heart even in a small auto. Also I am sure they are aware of it but ioverlander.com provides the most comprehensive list of Mexico campsites as well as others world-wide.
