When traveling long distances with no specific plan, it becomes difficult to arrange shelter through hospitality networks. Also, in many small towns few people have access to the internet.
Luckily, it's really easy and safe to stay over in '''gas stations ''' or '''fire stations.'''
If you get stuck on the road at night, you can ask to be dropped off at any PEMEX (the only gasoline company of Mexico). If you talk directly to the people in charge, they will tell you what's the safest spot to sleep at. Many gas stations also have free showers and you don't need to be a truck driver to use them.
When you're inside of a town, it's better to go to the fire station. The firemen are very friendly and they are used to host broke travelers from exotic places.
If you're traveling through the West Coast it might be difficult to find a free camping site at the popular beaches. However, almost every beach town has a '''turtle camp ''' where you can camp for free. You might be asked to do some work in exchange, like counting and liberating baby turtles!!!
