The 10 best Campgrounds in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

April 23, 2023 Nobuko Falco

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

Serena Glamping Tulum

Good Accommodation and Location

Reviewed By 713rileyb

Rooms are clean and staff were very helpful. The pool area is 10/10 and the highlight of the place. Location is pretty quiet but close to busier areas with great restaurants. Only issue was a leaky AC unit that soaked my clothes.

Casa Nawal

Every room is it's own piece of paradise.

Reviewed By JustinHJr

I've never stayed at a place with such a personal touch! I'm no camper or glamper but I will definitely come back to Casa Nawal. One of the main reasons, other than the fact that you're glamping in an air conditioned tent next to the ocean (hello), was the level of service and attentiveness. Thought not crazy, I did reach out to make multiple requests and Peace was always quick to respond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and satisfied with our stay. A truly magical experience in an awesome location.

Good atmosphere

Reviewed By beatrizm115

Nice hostel, kind people working there. We had a room for 3 people with a bathroom. Size was okay, location is very good so you can arrive on foot from the ferry, you can go to the beach on foot. Water pressure is low in the shower but this is a common problem encountered in Mexico. If you have long hair like me then just be prepared for long showers to wash it fully.

Blue Bird

Perfect stay

Reviewed By Katharina G

Such a peacful place on the perfect lake of Bacalar with its blue waters and white sands. Kayaks and paddle boards are complementary which is a plus. The very well kept garden with lots of possibilities makes you feel at home . The staff is friendly and helpful. The bungalows are furnished nicely with special care and the AC works perfect. My Tacos were prepared fresh and tasted very good. We will come again to this little heaven.

Cinco Tulum

Would recommend!

Reviewed By mollygeoarcher

We really enjoyed our two night stay here- it was just enough. The tents have air con & the whole glamping site is very pretty. Happy hours were a nice touch as we were running super low on cash due to travelling for 10 days prior. Staff were great & the sun loungers were so comfy. We loved having free entry to the beach club and living care free for two days! Only negative was the nachos, they weren’t fresh chips, and they were covered in the thickest refried beans ever, I wasn’t a fan of the beans, I couldn’t find a single chip without it on. I hate complaining but I asked if I could send them back and get some fresh nachos without beans, the guy said it wasn’t possible and that’s how they are prepared. Surely if they’re fresh you’d just melt the cheese and add the extras, without picking up the refried beans..? He said I could have something else and I said the burger. The burger was rock hard. I didn’t bother saying anything as the first time didn’t go down well. Anyway my point is, if you’re not happy with something it’s good customer service to take it off the bill, yet I paid for BOTH meals. I also saw other people leave full plates of nachos. Just something to take into consideration. Everything else was fine. The manager/ owner was super helpful with recommendations for the remainder of our trip too. Would recommend for sure!

Way too expensive and terrible place

Reviewed By danielrM9759US

For sure you will be paying only for the location, we rented a 4 person room with private bathroom, A/C took forever to work, the place is dirty, the room was full of ants and spiderwebs, looks like they never clean after use. It is too expensive for what really is. Restaurant bar Service ends at 8pm. Too far from downtown bacalar, if you don't have a car, forget about it.

Beautiful location & friendly vibe

Reviewed By Carolina M

My boyfriend and I spent two nights at Marina Magic Bacalar and loved it! Our double room was small and rather plain, only quipped with double bed, a fan and a bathroom (which was instead large and spacious). What we loved though was the access to the lagoon deck and the common area with the camping attached to the hostel. The deck has sunbeds and hammocks, providing space to relax in the sun and to mingle with other travellers. Staff was gentle and helpful. Good WI-FI in the rooms and common area/garden. You can rent the kayak from the hostel, to explore the lagoon on your own.

weird and ocward vibes in this place

Reviewed By luisarturomx

i spent one night in a tent and i think they have too much tents , everything is too close, i dont care about privacy , its a camping but that's too much the guy in reception is really rude, he doesn't care about people, and he doesnt wear a shirt, never, so you will never know if he works there or what . i dont know if he is the owner or what , 0 commitment. 0 service , 0 customer care. i met this guys passing thru the camping to the beach, chill guys, and this owner starts insulting them and trying to fight them. i dont recommend this place, you will feel the weird and awkward vibes all over your vacations. hope this is helpful for other travelers

Really expensive for what you get

Reviewed By FellowTraveler691902

Beautiful place! The site overall is super beautiful with jungle all around! Very eco friendly which is nice but be prepared to wash yourself with a coconut and a bucket full of brown rain water. Eco friendly toilets and our campsite did not have a place to cook which I expected (being a place to camp) really nice clean and comfortable bedding for camping. I loved all the sounds of all the nature all around but overall really expensive for what you get.

This hotel had a jungle feel to it without being stuck in jungle. We were able to leave and walk right into town and the room was very cute! Alex was a very sweet host and was always willing to suggest places to eat or go have fun
