Ecotourism is taking hold of beautiful Sonora and camping isn’t hard to find. El Pinacate is a volcanic region located in the northwest of the State of Sonora including Rocky Point, San Luis Rio Colorado and Plutarco Elias Calles counties.

Observed from space El Pinacate resembles a large moon crater. It is the result of hot magma building up pressure deep in the earth’s crust for 4 million years. Quite a notable side trip if you enjoy amazing geologic formations and environments.

In addition to the other camping options in Rocky Point, The Boulders, http://www.thebouldersrv.com/index.html, is 28 miles from El Pinacate. Additionally the Pinacate Biosphere Reserve offers two campgrounds. Reservations are required and there is no water available at the reserve. It’s a gorgeous location for those interested in roughing it amongst nature’s beauty.
