We left Playa Norte RV park in Los Barriles on November 16th after failing to negotiate a decent monthly rate. We are now 16 miles south of Los Barriles at La Trinidad RV Ranch near the town of La Ribera.
It has a wonderful "Palapa Bar/restaurant" and an inground unheated pool. We have full hookups and a great site. All this for $370 per month !!
Thanksgiving was celebrated in style with 4 different turkeys (smoked,oven cooked,spit roasted and deep fried) plus all the fixins and a super selection of deserts including Pumkin Pie. Mike Odell ,the charismatic owner,served 60 plus dinners that night......at $5 a pop !!!!!! His way of saying ThankYou to all his local friends and family.
Our neighbours Ken and Paula have a Casita and a palapa in La Ribera.They keep their 1999 Beaver Monterey under the palapa which is presently being re roofed. We have exchanged much info and advise as our two Motorhomes were built at the same factory.
Teddy is having a fine time barking at the "locals".......and a small army of dogs who live on site !!
