"It is a converted mobile home park, so the sites are very long and not necessarily level. Water/ sewer is on one side and electric is on the other side."
"Very welcoming hosts, great tree coverage, in town but still a very quiet area where you can go for walks. We’d definitely come back!"
"It is well kept with the usual amenities but also has a hiking trail and bird watching blinds. It’s above my level of expectation for the price."
$15 - $35 / night
"The CG is well worth the $19 (with Veterans Discount) per night for a pull through with full hookups. Sites are level with pea-stone and hard packed gravel. Easiest setup so far."
"The tent area is well shaded, water at each site and power by the bath house. Bath house is concrete floors but the water is hot and the facilities sufficient."
$35 - $155 / night
"We stayed 2 nights at San Pedro, using it as a base camp to explore Amistad National Recreation Area. It's very close to the Spur 454 boat ramp, which we used to launch our kayak."
"Campground is located just a few miles from Del Rio, Texas and is part of the Lake Amistad Nat'l Rec Area."
"This campground has running water, pit toilets, and well maintained campsites (small camper van or tent - not good for big rigs)."
"We found a nice spot that fit our 21ft travel trailer and 20ft van pulling it right next the the Reservoir."
LegendWe wanted a layover stop on our way to Big Bend National Park and chose this park to use a PassPort America discount. It is close to Del Rio with all the shopping, etc. you might need, but it’s target clientele isn’t transient folks. Mostly long-term stays with people working in the area. The Bar has a some loud music running on Saturday night as well. Once the “booming” stopped around midnight we were able to get a decent night sleep. To do over again, I’d pull into San Pedro Campground at Amistad National Recreation Area.
GuideThis campground has running water, pit toilets, and well maintained campsites (small camper van or tent - not good for big rigs). First come availability- we pulled in at 7pm and had plenty of spaces to choose from. No electric Beautiful views of the water Safe and clean Credit cards only to pay fee ($10)
RangerWe stayed 2 nights at San Pedro, using it as a base camp to explore Amistad National Recreation Area. It's very close to the Spur 454 boat ramp, which we used to launch our kayak. You can also get over Diablo East, Governor's Landing, and the Figueroa trail for good hiking by driving maybe 10 minutes.
The non-tent sites all have covered picnic tables with a concrete pad and charcoal grill. There are quite a few pit toilets dispersed amongst the sites. There doesn't seem to be anyway to get down closer to the lake from this campground.
When we were there, we saw 4 - 5 other campers in the campground and everyone setup spaced apart. We heard lots of coyotes in the distance just after sunset.
GuideThe RV park is in an old Military installation that has been converted into housing, camping, golf course, swimming at the spring and has a museum. The grounds are very pretty. The CG is well worth the $19 (with Veterans Discount) per night for a pull through with full hookups. Sites are level with pea-stone and hard packed gravel. Easiest setup so far. CG has a clean laundry room for only $1 a load, community room with books for sharing and a nice community use fire pit area. The staff is so nice and very knowledgeable about the Fort's history and local area. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the sites are close to each other and wifi is null. Verizon is good and we used out hotspot for TV & laptop.
RangerLaundry, showers, restrooms. Easy access from rt 90. Super close to Amistad National Recreation Area. Tent camping is $20, I think that’s a little high for renting, but there are many amenities on site.
RangerHidden Valley is a hidden gem of a park in Del Rio. It is a converted mobile home park, so the sites are very long and not necessarily level. Water/ sewer is on one side and electric is on the other side. There is nice laundry/ communal center but no pool or showers. The park is quiet and private, appropriate for short or long-term stays.
LegendThis park is a great escape to disconnect, view the DARK SKY and witness Mexican free-tailed bat emergence! Park campground is 25 miles after the turn off of US90. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights in mid-March. Few bats emerged during our stay; much better emergence in April as experienced in previous visits to Stuart Cave.
Pros:
• Excellent DARK SKY campground
• Stuart Cave bat emergence nightly from a very nice viewing deck
• Small park
• Extremely quiet park during March Spring Break
• Good campsite privacy due to good brush coverage
• Most sites had a nice distance from neighbor sites
• Clean campsite
• Picnic table in good condition, especially eating surface
• Our site had aluminum picnic table on a concrete slab under a metal shelter; not all sites had metal shelter
• Clean restroom/shower facility
• Campsite hook-ups in good condition.
• Level gravel campsite.
• Pedestal BBQ grill, fire pit with grilling grate, double hook lantern pole and aluminum picnic table at each site.
• Park roadways in good condition.
• Park Ranger patrolled campground numerous times throughout day/evening
Cons:
• No AT&T signal; no park WIFI, so completely without phone service and no public phone available for emergerncies. Had to drive outside of Park about 3 miles for AT&T signal.
• County burn ban prohibited wood campfires and ban posted on Park’s website. Park Ranger stopped by our campsite to tell us to put out our campfire, but we showed him it was a propane firebowl.
• Limited shade in campsites
• Must pack out all personally generated trash. Absolutely NO dumpsters; no garbage cans in park
• No campground host
•. No entrance gate locked at night
• One and only restroom used by entire Park, so campers and day users. Women’s restroom had 2 toilets, 2 sinks and one shower stall
• Women’s restroom lacked consistent supply of TP and wall dispenser soap• Wildlife sightings limited to squirrels and armadillos
• No park store, so come prepared with all necessary supplies as Brackettville is closest small town which is 25 miles away with only a grocery store and couple fuel stations. Ulvade and Del Rio have the typical box stores.
GuideCampground is located just a few miles from Del Rio, Texas and is part of the Lake Amistad Nat'l Rec Area. Great location if your looking for a safe, quiet, level, overnight stay location with good cell service signal (AT&T). Not so good if you're here to enjoy the water as there is any lake access from the campground proper (hence the 4 versus 5 star rating). Nevertheless, very clean and numerous pit toilets, covered picnic tables, and 30 or so level sites await the road weary RVer. And if you do want to enjoy the lake, lake access is a few miles nearby.
GuideWe stayed two nights on our way south to Big Bend National Park. Because it was winter we were not interested in the lake (it was cold) but we appreciated the ample space between each campsite. We had a covered picnic table and fire ring. Overwise there is no water, sewer or electric. They do have vault toilets conveniently located throughout the campground. It's a self-serve place. We just paid our $6 fee at the entry kiosk and that was it. There was quite a bit of traffic in and around the campground as it appeared some people stay quite awhile.
