The Emerald Coast and El Zorro Campground

For the first 3 days we were the only RV on site. We did not have WiFi in the park nor did we have TV (English or Spanish). We did, however, find movies in a village near by and WiFi at the Italian Coffee Cafe.

I can't quite get the photos and the messages to match. I will keep working on it. The El Zorro Campground has three pools, an eagle nest, and an elevated cocina and dining area.

After leaving Poza Rica, we drove to the Emerald Coast. Along the Emerald Coast there are probably ten to twelve RV Parks. We decided to stay at El Zorro RV Park which was suggested in the Mexican Camping book. We arrived at about 4:00 pm, which gave us plenty of time to set-up our site. Being the only RV in the Park, we had to choice of locations. Number 7 was the winner. We had a beautiful view of the water and being the only RV a panoramic view of the complex. The photos tell it all. It is a great place to stay. The electricity is iffy, the water is iffy, but the septic is fine. One could ask for not more.

The electrical polarity was correct, but the voltage was too high, jumping to 130 volts. We turned on our ceramic heater which drew enough current to put us in a safe range (about 124 Volts). If it got too hot we would turn off the heater and turn on the A/C. If we needed to use the microwave, we turned off everything and ran the microwave. We had the system down pat.

Arriving on Sunday, we spent the next three days as single campers in the park, but came Thursday a couple from Washington State set up camp, then two couples from Quebec came on the scene and now we were back to sharing the grounds. They were all good people and we enjoyed their company. The Washington couple has spent the last few winters exploring Mexico in the winter while the Seattle area chilled down for the winter.
The Canadians also wanted to escape winter’s blast and enjoy the temperate climate of Mexico. They are also planning to travel the perimeter of Mexico, traveling from the east coast south to the west coast and turn back to the north.
