Faster return for RVers at popular Mexico border crossing
RVers returning from popular Mexico town Puerto Penasco through the Lukeville, Ariz., Port of Entry will now find the process faster according to a story in the Arizona Daily Star. Every Sunday and Monday, RVs will be directed into the commercial lane to help ease congestion. When the renovated Lukeville port opened in 1976, there was one hotel in Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point. Today, there are 42 hotels and motels and 14 RV facilities that attracted approximately 2.3 million people in 2006, a nearly fivefold increase from 2001. The port with its three passenger lanes and one commercial-truck lane was built to handle 400 vehicles a day. This past fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, the Lukeville port processed up to 5,000 per day on holiday weekends.

Last January a group of 20 RVers in 11 rigs traveled together to Puerto Penasco after leaving Quartzite. We had a great time and had no problem crossing the border in either direction. We plan to do it again in 2008!

My husband and I have been RVing to Puerto Penasco for 20 years. Unfortunately, the peaceful, little town has been found by us, the Americans. We would like to try somewhere new this year. Any suggestions? We enjoy the uncommercialized Mexico of Puerto Penasco of old. Any suggestions where we could go, (where there are no condo's and not a lot of tourists)? Thank you!
