RV parking & camping
Catemaco used to be a destination for many caravans crossing from Texas to the Yucatan
peninsula. The advent of the toll road (cuota) bypassing Catemaco has greatly decreased that traffic.
There is no professional RV park in Catemaco. Hotel Tepetapan is making an effort to provide some
US style hookups, Playa Azul offers its parking lot and several other locales offer grass parking.
Camping is available anywhere. But nothing is organized. Pick a place where you want to camp, and
ask the owner how much, or pitch a tent on any public beach (except Catemaco) and see what
happens.
