Heading into Ensenada with our RV and was wondering if anyone out there has any info on the local RV parks. The best, the worst and why. Very open
to feed back as this is a new RV experience for us. Thanks!

Yep...for sure. There are very few RV parks...only one in town....and to save you the trouble of sorting it out with the pluses and minuses of the
others, take Terrys advice above.
If, on the other hand, you have special needs or something like that, tell us what your requirements are.

I agree with the other two posters some what. On a scale of 1 to 10 Estero is about a 5 from there it goes downhill It's really sad there isn't any
better Ensenada has a lot to offer.

Las Canadas
If you have children this is the place because they also have a very nice water park and a zip line. It's about 10 miles south of Maneadero

Actual Ensenada is a dump, avoid it. South suburbs like Chapultepec is what you need. This is where Estero Beach is. And a couple of adjacent camps,
cheaper - Mona Lisa and El Faro, all on the shore. I think Estero Beach is the most expensive of three, and none of them have actual swimming beach.
You didn't tell what you are looking for. To me, all three are out of the same barrel, so to speak, so the cheapest wins. To you - don't know.

Cross the Joker off your list. The place is closed down and has been leveled....as in torn down

King's Coronita is not bad, located next to Hotel Coral and the yacht basin. El Faro and Mona Lisa are dumps.
If you don't mind a short detour off of Hwy 1, try Villarinos at LaJolla, Punta Banda. Behind the Mini Market and Post Office

The book list at least 8 in the Punta Banda area alone.
Interesting to hear the diversities in opinions. They're appreciated.

We stumbled into the Punta Banda area looking for any safe flat spot and found lots of signs to RV places that didn't exist any more. We kept going up
and over the hill toward La Bufadora and found Campo Cinco. It is minimal, and if you should go to the beach, it is likely you've had a fatal
accident, but for 80 pesos, we passed a nice night with a beautiful view.

Well, I'm not sure whether Punta Banda can be considered "Ensenada". Besides, it would be interesting to hear the opinions in the context of the OP's
requirements - but their requirements have not been disclosed. Alright, they are newbie, and can't be more specific. So, we are stirring an empty
water here, with subject too broad.
flyingpigs58 - it's simple, really. None of the camps in this area are destination places. Just a stop on the way. If you are worried, choose those
expensive. If not, just trust your guts and don't stay where you don't feel like.

Right, John. That would be the Municipalidad de Ensenada........same as we would call a county up north.
