We are very happy to have you with us. If this is your first time, WELCOME! If you are returning,
WELCOME BACK! We want you to know that our staff is here to help you with anything you may need.

Park Guidelines and Policies:
Our guiding principles are respect and consideration for others and, if we all keep this in mind, rules take care of themselves. However, just so everyone has the same expectations, here are things you need to know:

Questions? Please contact Carole or me.
Note**The peso has fallen which makes the increase minimal against US and Canadian currency but
inflation in Mexico is not under control.

Electrical: NO air-conditioning (plastic fans are your friends), electric dryers, welders or other high electricity-consuming items are not to be used! Our system won’t support them. Service is 20 amps. Do not overload. Help us conserve, as electricity is expensive. This keeps park rates down.

Water: Our water is from our own well and reservoir. Please don’t waste it. The water truck does come daily if you prefer to buy drinking water. No washing of RV’s, trailers, cars, trucks or other vehicles. Martin has a washing service and will bring his own water to wash your rig. No watering of the roads. Please send out laundry, when possible, it’s very reasonably priced. We only get a certain amount of water each year regulated by the government. We have to truck in water when we use too much so please conserve it. If you see a shower or toilet running, please turn it off. If you see a broken pipe, please report it to the office immediately. Our water is being treated with filters and UV lights.  No pools or hot tubs!

Septic system: We are on a septic tank, and in Mexico they are not the same. Please DO NOT PUT TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET, even RV TP. This includes in your own rig. By not putting toilet paper in the septic system, we avoid nasty plug-ups and save room in the septic. Of course, this applies to other things, such as paper towels, wipes, Q-Tips, tissue, napkins, feminine products, medications, cigarettes, grease, your hopes and dreams, etc. Don’t put anything down in the toilet that you didn’t eat first. Any plugged or broken pipes will not be fun for you to clean up.

Pets: If you have animals, please pick up after them immediately, even on the beach. Don’t let your dog run around without you, so you always know when it is doing its business, and don’t let it wander from your site, pee on other people’s vehicles, tents, plants, pads, numbers, etc. If you see a dog “sneak one,” please notify the owner or pick it up.  Please do not let your dog bark, excessive barking will not be tolerated. This is really annoying to others. Do not leave your dog(s) outside, tied or in a pen, when you are not there. Well-behaved pets are welcome! Noisy or unruly pets that cause continual complaints will not be permitted to remain. Aggressive dogs or biters will not be tolerated. There is a 2 dog limit.

Parking: We do not have designated parking spaces. Please use the areas set aside for parking. There are parking areas throughout the park and you may or may not be able to park close to your pad. If you have problems with walking, please let us know so we can make arrangements for parking close to your pad, if possible. Be considerate; other people need to park, so try to take only one space.  Vehicles are not to be parked in empty pads or on concrete. They will not be empty for long.

All vehicles: Please obey the speed limit of 5 km per hour. We don´t want your dust! If you are raising a dust cloud, you are going too fast.
Engine idling: Diesels are noisy and smelly. Please be considerate of others. If you stop to talk, turn off your motor. Do not leave your motor running to “warm up” your engine.
ATVs and Motorcycles: Please be considerate when driving your ATV. GO SLOW, and don’t leave the motor idling when you are not moving. Remember that they are noisy and create dust. No one under 16 is allowed to drive in the park.

Pool: No glass bottles or breakables are to be brought to the pool area (outside of the restaurant area). Children under 14 must be supervised at all times.

Laundry: Our laundry area has 2 washers, 1 dryer and several clotheslines. Buy tickets at the office: washers are 30 pesos per load, dryer is 35 pesos. Clotheslines are free. There is a sign-up sheet at the laundry. The time slots are 1 hour long. Please keep within your time frame. If you want to speed up the washer you can add water by bucket or hose. Make sure you do not overfill the machines. Water is heavy and is just like overloading the machine.   Please do not wash heavy items like carpets and sleeping bags, and do not wash items that are full of pet hair or sand. Do not overload. There is also an outside laundry service. You can leave your bag of laundry, marked with site number, at the office before 10 am and it will be returned to you between 5 and 8 pm the same day. Please be home so you can pay when it is delivered.

Smoking: The majority of people in the park are non-smokers. We are in close quarters and your smoke does not just go into your lungs. It goes downwind (uphill, usually) to your neighbors and, with open windows and fans, into your neighbor´s RV. Therefore, please use designated smoking areas: at the end of the cement behind the reservoir, the back of the tenting area if there is no one camping, down the driveway by the entrance, or on the beach. You are free to smoke in your rig with fans off so the smoke doesn´t drift. Always pick up your butts.

Phone service: There is a phone behind the office for taxis and emergencies, numbers are posted on the wall.

Internet: We want to make sure that everyone understands the internet guidelines so there will be no misunderstandings. The internet is for emails, light web surfing, banking, Facebook, messenger and skype-type phoning without video. It is not for streaming, watching TV, YouTube, Netflix or other movie sites. It is not for running your business. These high-bandwidth activities take the internet away from everyone else on the system. If you want to do these things, then you need to buy your own internet connection. Ask at the office how to do this. Starlink is now available at your own cost. This is a great internet connection for streaming as an alternative. There may be people in the park willing to share their Starlink for a fee. There is also outside park options for internet and TV. If you need assistance with this, please see Brian #96 or Marcel #41.  It is also necessary to put your phone, tablet or computer in airplane mode or turn off your device when not using it. If you don´t, you are still accessing the internet and it slows everything down. We will be blocking people caught streaming or misusing the internet. Shaw no longer works in Mexico so don’t bring your dish and equipment.

Back gate: The office can give you the code to come in/out the back gate. Do not share it with anyone outside the park.

Work Requests: If you want assistance with anything, including work on your pad or RV, please go through the office or use the sign-up sheets. Please clear any work you are getting done with the office and management. We have approved people who work in the park. We also try to keep track of who does what work. Do not pay up front unless you have a written receipt and check with the office, especially if you are worried about a language barrier. Of course, if it is an emergency, please indicate that.

Read the bulletin boards regularly so you can keep up with what’s going on but Facebook is the primary way that we will disperse information and announcements.  This is a private page just for those who will physically be staying in the park this season.  Our page is La Penita RV Park 2024/25 OFFICIAL and you should see a cartoon woman’s face in Day of the Dead make-up. If you’re not already on it, please contact JoLynn Forney #96.

Get a park business card at the office to carry with you when you go out of the park so you can call the office if you get lost or if you need assistance. Call Karen in the office if you get pulled over and she can translate for you and possibly help you.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Thank you for your cooperation. We hope everyone has a wonderful winter in this paradise!

Carole, Karen, JoLynn, and staff
