This book is the complete reference for RVers. I used the suggested itineraries for planning my vacation; these show daily driving distances, estimated driving times, and descriptions of the routes and sites along the way, which I found to be very accurate. Over 60 pages of detailed information cover everything from safety, insurance, fuel, food and money to health issues and pets. The information on crossing the border was very helpful in preparing me for this sometimes confusing process and the detailed descriptions of each crossing point, including hours of operation and suitability of RV access, enabled me to select good places to enter Mexico. This section also contains helpful suggestions for nearby campgrounds to use before entering Mexico. The information on how to deal with corrupt cops and to be avoid being cheated at gas stations was also especially useful.
The nine chapters which cover every region of Mexico are what set this book apart from all others. I found the key maps, indices and distance tables convenient and easy to use. The detailed description of each campground includes a listing of amenities, a detailed map showing not only the campground location but also many times nearby gas stations and stores, detailed directions to the campground including distances and reference points, a description of the facilities and the price range. I found this information to be objective and accurate, and I liked being able to know what the campground offers and the approximate cost before deciding to stop there.
While not the primary focus of this book, many interesting tourist attractions are also described, which I found very useful. The detailed information on driving in the Mexico City area helped me avoid many potential problems there. For those venturing beyond Mexico, an entire chapter covers Belize.
While traveling in Mexico I've met many people who spent the night parked in potentially unsafe locations because they did not know of a nearby campground, who did not know how to use the telephones, who had difficulty crossing the border, who spent hours searching for a campground, who got lost while trying to drive through cities, and who did not know where they would spend the next night. One thing all these people had in common was that they did not have a copy of this book.
Traveler's Guide To Mexican Camping is an easy to use reference covering all aspects of RV travel and camping, from trip planning and preparation to returning to the US. It is well indexed and cross referenced, packed full of advice and information, and the maps and campground listing are easy to read and understand. The book uses quality paper and binding, not newsprint and stapled covers, and my copy has survived many months of rough handling. There are no advertisements in this book, which would have affected the objectivity of the authors. Every RV traveler to Mexico should have this book.

I have a list of resources in an ebook I've written about Mexico, and this one literally tops the list -- for RVers.
This book has all the information on how to cross the border into Mexico, what paperwork is needed, where to get tourist visas, what insurance is needed, where to get maps and many other helpful tips on Mexico travel. Also in the book are samples of road signs and their translations. The Churches have done an excellent job in researching each campground and include easy to follow directions with maps of the areas. This is a must, as signs for campgrounds are very often missing or non-existent in Mexico.
Any and all information about driving and camping in Mexico, Belize and the Baja is included in this book!
A MUST FOR MEXICO TRAVEL!!!!
"The Travelers Guide..." is geared towards people driving Winnebagos through Mexico. I'm sure it's a great book for that purpose. However it is extremely lacking on any detail regarding these volcanos. If you are planning to climb there, don't waste you time with book.
If I was going to pack up the Holiday Rambler and head south of the border, I would make sure I had this book. It does seem to answer the questions that you would have about crossing the border, insurance, fuel, etc. and it provides a lot of detail about the various camp grounds through out Mexico.
It may be worth more than 3 stars. To me it was worth 0. But, don't let that stop you from buying the book (unless you were going to buy it to climb Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl).
