Is there somewhere I can park my truck and 40ft trailer in El Rosario for the night? Thanks

Behind the Motel Sainai (spelling?) going South past the Pemex, taking the left hand turn on MX1, about a couple of miles further on the left hand side of the road. There are hookups back there, cement pads, and plenty of room to park your truck and trailer, camp, or stay in the motel. Very well lighted all night long. The Restaurant there is great, by the way!

We usually stop in San Quintin at El Pabelon or push on to Rancho St. Inez in Catavinia.
Both are safe with lots of parking space.

It's a ranch campground with rooms and a cantina.
The driveway is marked - about a mile or so south of town on the left.
Nice open area in the desert with good security and nice folks.
Pull into their camp area and pick your spot; someone will find you for the $5 fee.
Talk about a place to see the stars !!

This is true, excellent place for sure. But, I'm not sure there is enough room to park his truck and 40' trailer in the enclosure there. Antonio? What do you think?

The Motel Sainai has plenty of room behind their motel for this rig, for sure. I think they charge $10 for full hookups, don't know what they charge for a room there.

Baja Cactus Motel (#1) is between the Pemex and Mama Espinoza's (which is next to the sharp left curve in Mex. 1.

Antonio owns Baja Cactus and the Pemex, and has a lot next to the motel (for future expansion) that you could maybe park in... He is reached by email at info@bajacactus.com

The Motel Sinahi and RV Park (#28) is on the left, behind the Bocana Beach Restaurant. It is 0.9 mi. from the Baja Cactus/ Pemex.

Rancho Santa Ynez (Ines) is 1 mile from Cataviņa and 77 miles from El Rosario... 2 hours in an RV/ trailer because of all those curves past El Rosario.

I am sorry meme... if you need to reserve a room, then just call the motel directly... the number is on the web page http://www.bajacactus.com

Antonio has so much going on, not only with his businesses, but his extended family since two brothers-in-law were killed last year.... I too go many days or weeks without a reply sometimes, this past year.
