Is there anywhere you can do camping in Cancun?

Question

I am going to Cancun and i dont wanna spend my money in fancy hotels. DOes anyone knows about a camp or something like that and how much does it costs?> Thanks anything would helps ...

Answer 1

If I recall, in Tulum (which is to the south of Cancun) there were a few places full of hippies and Europeans that had reasonable camping.  Hope the big developers haven't swallowed them yet.  In Cancun itself I believe there is a youth hostel, that might be the cheapest option there.

If you want to save money I would stay away from Cancun itself.  There are lots of cheap and beautiful places to visit in the rest of the Yucutan. Not a lot of campgrounds, but the hotels might be cheaper than camping would be in the US. I'd go the library and check out a budget guidebook like Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, or Let's Go.

Answer 2

I think there is a nice snake pit not far off the beaten path, Scorpions are nice in refridgerator boxes.  If you don't want to spend money, stay home.
