Gerry was a great host! We got a huge parking different plenty of room to hang outside. He was very generous and even blew up his bounce house so my son could play in it. He also let me use his printer! This spot is about 15 minutes from the Mexacali East border crossing making it a great option on the way down to Baja. Would highly recommend!

The host, Jerry, was such a gracious host and our stay was perfect. He welcomed us as we drove up and was so warm and generous the entire time we were there, sharing tacos and stories with us like old friends. The grounds were nice, flat and safe, and with farm animals to include a cute pug named Ceasar. I’d definitely recommend staying here. It was the perfect launching point for our trip to Baja.

Gerry is super friendly and welcoming and the location is perfect for us as we travel into Mexico. He has created a fun atmosphere and level surfaces to park and camp. We were ready to be self contained but there were porta potties there! Highly recommend.

Our stay on Gerry’s land was great. We were received with a warm welcome, and it also happened to coincide with a friendly Carne Asada, which was a great start to our road trip to Mexico.

Gerry wa really friendly and his place was comfortable. But it was New Years Eve and the music went on until 5am. Not what I needed.

Interesting place with a view of Alamo River and sunset. Chickens, turkeys and pig came to greet us and were entertaining to watch. Geraldo was generous and accommodating. Some road noise but felt safe and slept well.

This was a perfect place for us overnight before we crossed over to Mexico. Family was very nice and the place was quite for a good nights rest. We will definitely stay there next time.

We had a wonderful stay at Gerry’s place. He and his wife are delightful, and it was a peaceful night’s sleep, and then a short drive to the Mexicali East border. We’ll definitely stay again. Thanks for hosting us, Gerry!
