I'm an American, looking to go to a live-in training camp for 2-3 months. Thailand and Brazil are quite far away.

Are there any Mexico?
 
Maybe with the Bonebreakers. Check their website. Also Renzo Gracie JJ.
 
If I went to Mexico to train. It'd be to train boxing.
 
Thunder is teaching in Mexico right now...specifically the Yucatan area. not sure if it's a full on camp, but yeah. i think that's the closest you're gonna get for Muay Thai down there
 
Don't go to Mexico. You'll get thirsty and tired and drink the wrong water on accident. Too dangerous to your health. Go to the Netherlands or Europe if you want to leave. Mexico is fun but everybody who goes there gets sick unless they go to a resort.
 
If you are going somewhere for 2-3 months you can go by plane. You will only spend at the most 1 day traveling there and 1 day back.

Drink the wrong water on accident? How can that happen?

Nothing will ever happen to you in Mexico if you drink bottled water, like everyone else does.
And Mexico is not a "warzone". Some parts of the country are not the best place to be, but they are not places foreigners usually go, anyway. If you stay in the big cities, there's no problem at all.

As for the actual training:
1.- What kind of camp are you looking for? MMA? BJJ? Boxing? Wrestling? Judo?
2.- What level of proficiency do you have?

In Mexico City:
- Bonebreakers is the largest MMA team in Mexico City. They are an MMA team. So you will not get stellar wrestling/bjj/boxing training, but more of an all-around experience. They also have many different gyms. I'd only recommend going to the Central one, since that's where most of the pros train.

- For BJJ there's plenty of options. But they're all pure BJJ places, not MMA-oriented. As usual, BJJ is the most expensive option. There are more than enough blacbkelts: Jacson Correia, Dan Schon, Rodrigo Kim, Mario Delgado, Jonathan "Pedebolo" Amaral...

- Judo and wrestling; go to the teams of IPN (Instituto Politecnico Nacional) and UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico). They're both very good. IPN is north of Mexico city, UNAM is south of the city.

- Sambo and Combat sambo; Dog Pit Mexico, IPN team. They have some bulgarian coaches who are Masters of Sport in Sambo, judo blackbelts, mma fighters, pro boxers and Sanda european/world champions.

- Boxing; go to the place where Juan Manuel Marquez trains. Best trainers, cheap.

you can get amoebas from the food. putting ice in your coke. It's a lot easier to get sick in Mexico. I know that 1 out of 10 that go there get pretty sick. I got amoebas. My intestines are still messed up to this day. It's not worth the risk. I didn't drink the water but still got sick somehow.

Well, tough luck for you and the other 1/10.

You can get sick anywhere if you don't wash your hands and eat at clean places.

It's common sense, really. Don't eat at the street, don't eat seafood if the weather is too warm, don't try mexican delicacies like fried grasshoppers or street cart hot dogs.

Actually, street food is almost universally better than restaurant food. It's freshly prepared right in front of you. Locals in many vacation countries don't eat at the restaurants--tourists do. Just eat wherever the locals eat.
