TRAVELING to MEXICO in 2022 | Driving to Rocky Point

After spending time in Quartzsite and Lake Havasu, we are Traveling to Mexico! Sine we were going to Puerto Penasco, we decided to cross at the Lukeville border crossing.

3. Car Insurance - make copies (we used www.mexpro.com/)
4. Registration for all vehicles & trailers - make copies (if you have a lien on your vehicle, you will need special authorization from your lien holder)
5. Pesos (recommended)
6. Have some cash USD / Canadian (recommended)
7. Download Google Map OFFLINE for your entire route. Just incase you don't have reception.
8. Cell phone - we used Cricket Wireless & we got a Telcel SIM after getting here (Telcel sucked just saying)
9. Some raw/frozen meats are not allowed. I would look it up and be prepared.
10. Drive the speed limit and enjoy your trip.

Looks fun! I stayed with a Mexican host in the US at an Airbnb. He showed me around Juarez since he is from there. Very cool to see.

[@rvseeingyou]

That is awesome. Nothing like getting a tour from a local.

[@scretch8609]

Hello, I am mexican. The people from United States that want to visit Mexico dont worry! Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) or Arizona Beach is a very popular zone from americans, so the peeople are going to speak english for you. Obviously the people of my country don't speak english very good. So visit Mexico withouth problems!!!

[@rvseeingyou]

Very true. We want to learn so we can communicate and to show respect.

[@jamesmiller4085]

Damn i want to go

[@OrbitStephanie]

That’s a lovely area!

[@Wes1487]

Cool! First video I have seen that have filmed crossing over usually everyone cut the camera until they get across...enjoy!

[@rvseeingyou]

We thought we would see a sign for no filming but didn’t so we kept going! And it was in plain sight! Probably wouldn’t do it again.

[@sghaua]

New follower 🙋🏻‍♀️ looking forward to the Mexico vlogs 🥰

[@rvseeingyou]

Thank you Susan and we appreciate you subscribing!

[@reinamoody5239]

pretty views, we are hoping to make that trip in the near future.

[@rvseeingyou]

Hopefully you're able to visit. They are building several large hotels by the beach.

[@iversonmatthew]

We are coming down to Mexico in a 28 foot jayco in December..This video made me feel more confident and like we can do this too. Cheers 🥂

[@rvseeingyou]

That in our opinion is the perfect size for traveling here. Safe travels and enjoy! Thank you for watching.

[@nicholasrickfordpavlovic-g2886]

Same here. We have a 17 ft Viking trailer, and after watching this, it seems very doable.

[@curtiswilliams6902]

Hi you guys nice rig! I was there in my 2017 lance truck Camper and they waved me through both times . No Problemo! I’d go with a FMM this time in case I decide to fo to San Felipe! I’m hearing Diesel is cheaper in Mexico but will see! I’m sure we will get stopped more because of our expensive looking Rigs, but Everyone was super Nice last time! I stayed at the The Port on the street a half block from the Malecon! Hope to see you guys there! Yippee! Curtis

[@rvseeingyou]

I agree, currently diesel is cheaper here. I think it has gone up but not like what we’re seeing in the states.

[@campingalan]

Hi there! Ahhh.. Rocky Point! That is where my first trip to Mexico was; maybe in like 1987 or 88ish. It was a week of life sustained on mega bags (like what you would expect from Costco now) of animal crackers and tequila. We had a "rental cabin", which was an unfinished building that was just cinder block walls and cement floor. But...the shower and toilet worked. Basically, it was camping inside. It still looks pretty there though! Safe travels

[@rvseeingyou]

Have you been back since? We enjoyed our trip there but after seeing Baja, realized we wanted more than just PP.

[@campingalan]

@@rvseeingyou no...I have never been back. Since then, I have been to Ensenada a few times, San Felipe, Bahia de Los Angeles, Loretto, La Paz, and San Jose del Cabo. I really liked the colonial section of Loreto, but it is a bit too small for me. After that, La Paz was my favorite city on the Baja. Oh..I forgot the other aspect of Rocky Point. These cabins we stayed in were in a fairly big circle to each other. The Rocky Point jail was an old Chevy van, on blocks, all of the windows knocked out and rebar welded to the window areas; and a huge chain on the back door. Yes....we did wake up one morning with somebody in there hehehe

[@rvseeingyou]

@@campingalan we really enjoyed our time in Loreto as well. It’s small but it has everything you need.

[@huongtoituonglai24]

The looks interesting 🤔 nice place keep safe always stay connected 🙏 🍔🍔

[@rvseeingyou]

Hey, it was a very nice stop and especially for someone who’s new to traveling in Mexico!

[@isrraelmunoz4497]

i born in rocky point

[@OrbitStephanie]

I hope to drive my RV to Mexico and camp… my other times were in cars but just for a few hours.

[@rvseeingyou]

I’m sure you will make it happen! 😊

[@paulshannon4576]

Been to Organ Pipe Cactus NM many times but have only gone to Baja once in the mid 90’s. Just a 4x4 truck and tent but had a great time and very interesting. Don’t know if they still have all the check points as you drive.

[@rvseeingyou]

Hey Paul, not sure if the check points are in the same locations but we've gone through at least 4 since crossing. Thankfully, they have all been pretty painless! We visited Organ Pipe, AZ just before we crossed.

[@paulshannon4576]

@@rvseeingyou back in the day they would hold you at the check point waiting for a bribe. I had one try so I finally just leaned against my truck and started asking questions like I had all day and wasn’t in a hurry. They finally told me to go. I was told that everyone served in the military and they needed something for them to do.

[@rvseeingyou]

I’m so happy we’ve not experienced anything like that! Hopefully that doesn’t happen anymore!

[@nicholasrickfordpavlovic-g2886]

Wow, that area right after the border crossing had a 30KPH speed limit! That is slow. . . like school crossing zone speed. How long was that stretch, and what was the speed limit for most of the rest of the highway?

[@rvseeingyou]

I think that was the only stretch with that low speed. It got up to 80 or 90 at some points but others were passing me easily. I was the only one doing the limit lol

[@nicholasrickfordpavlovic-g2886]

@@rvseeingyou Oh, OK. 30km all the way to PP would be. . . trying. lol

[@Upscalefreeze]

When crossing into rocky point with your travel trailer or RV what documents did u need for rv ? Thanks

[@rvseeingyou]

Only the documents that we shared in the video. Mexico recently changed the requirements for FMM but unsure if it extends to the border cross.

[@kana9388]

Hi great video! I was wondering if the Mexican agent asked you for your passport? I’m non US citizen and I’m trying to find out if I can enter Mexico by car from Arizona. Thank you :)

[@rvseeingyou]

Hi Kana, they didn’t ask for any documents until we asked to get our FMM stamped! You WILL need either your passport, passport ID or real ID (preferably one of the first two) to re enter the USA.

[@kana9388]

@@rvseeingyou thank you so so much for your reply! Very helpful 🙏

[@rvseeingyou]

@@kana9388 you’re welcome. Happy we could be of help.

[@jandoherty5299]

Where did you get your FFM card before you cross the border

[@rvseeingyou]

Check out the description section. It has important links. Here the link you requested 1. FMM - www.inm.gob.mx/fmme/publico/en/solicitud.html (per person over 7 days)

[@maifrank6048]

Have you tried going to Cancun? I need to go back to Cancun because I had dental procedure there but this time I would Iike to go back in an RV so I'm looking for RVer's who have been to Cancun. It is our first time to travel in an RV. How dangerous is it going there in an RV?

[@rvseeingyou]

Hi Mai, no we have not made the trip to Cancun. Outside of flying from Baja to Guadalajara, we've not spent much time on mainland. I recommend you check out some of the facebook Mexico RV group. We've found them to be very informative in the past.

[@maifrank6048]

Oh thank you I am looking for that kind of group. Also, thank you for the detailed trip from the border to the campsite, I mean, like taking us with you on the trip other videos I watched they will fast-forward the video with background music and then they're there.

[@rvseeingyou]

@@maifrank6048 super happy you found it helpful! We made it detailed because it was our first trip and we couldn’t find another detailed video (when we searched it on KZbin). We figured someone might find it useful. Thanks for the feedback.

[@seanspishak8478]

what time and day did you go?

[@rvseeingyou]

We crossed first thing in the morning. We spent the night at Organ Pipes National Park and it’s only a few miles from the border.

[@Jtavera67]

What’s the name of that place in lukeville where you stay

[@rvseeingyou]

Organ Pipe National Monument www.nps.gov/orpi/index.htm

[@AKUMARI0]

whats the name of the camp ground?

[@rvseeingyou]

The Reef RV Park

[@adamnunez2260]

How far was the drive from the border ?

[@rvseeingyou]

It’s only an hours drive or maybe 1.5.
