Secured Parking | Informal Campsite

Arrived here on a Saturday afternoon at about 6pm and the restaurant/hotel was closed. Couldn't find any phone number to call. Asked at the nearby Tienda with no luck.

The next day in the morning it was open. Not sure at what time they close. Went to the other hotel in town which is anyway cheaper.

Secure, gated, palm tree shaded, gravel driveway behind tall walls and a tall locked gate. Fit with a 2005, 158” wheelbase sprinter. We ran fans at night and with that white noise slept very well. Great option to park for the night before a border crossing. Super kind owner of the restaurant and hospedaje it seems. We drove around the back first and saw the gate, but then drove back around to the Main Street to introduce ourselves and ask if we could park there. There is a sign on the main street (190) for an estacionamiento, but we parked at the hotel Aborada, after talking to the gentleman in the entrance who greeted us, across from the Instituto Nacional de Migración. There’s a tienda down the street for basics like bread, chips, beverages and a taco shop across the street. We paid 200 pesos for the Sprinter.

We got delayed with suspending the Mexican TIP, and the officer at the Banjercito told us the person that knew how to suspend the TIP would be there at 8 am the next day, so we were forced to camp over. The stay was 300 peso including access to very basic facilities. However they were friendly and it felt safe. By the way, if you’re going to be back in Mexico before your tip expires, the officer in the morning told me to just tuck away the paperwork and cancel it later when you leave Mexico for good.

We got to the border later than we wanted and decided we would prefer to cross into Guatemala in the morning. This gated parking is right across from the Mexican immigration office where you turn in your TIP and FMM. Nothing special but nice people and useable toilets. We paid 200 pesos. It is technically run out of the hotel next door so inquire there. Fairly quiet although around 4am our dog woke us barking at some people in the gated area, not sure what they were doing??? Felt much safer than parking on street or crossing near dark. Looks like there’s additional parking in back for even bigger rigs
