Neal's Lodge
Very spacious and level site with great location
We have been coming to Neal’s for years, but have always stayed in their cabins. We had a change of plans for a trip (thank you Hurricane Beryl) and were lucky enough to get in at Neal’s. Had an amazing time, and changed our upcoming cabin reservation to an RV site!

Spur 406 Campground
On the far side of Amistad
(Note, there used to be 3 reviews of Campground 406 but Dyrt deleted them for some reason. Dunno why because totally appropriate). I tent-camped here once around 2010 when the lake was high with my then 10-year-old son. We enjoyed it and caught a yellow scorpion in a jar and waded in the lake atop the flooded spur 406. Night was dark and to be honest, I feared a mountain lion attack because my son was smaller then and there had been recent sightings nearby. Otherwise nice experience. That said, I scouted it out in July 2023 and decided not to camp there, partly because the lake was much farther away and the bank didn’t seem conducive to fishing. By then my son was grown and gone, and my dog had died, so I was solo. That said, it is a decent campground and could be a good waypoint enroute to Big Bend. Now, another deleted review complained of a lack of toilet paper in the block bathroom and gave it like 2-3 stars.

San Pedro Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
Easy one night stop
Great value, only $3 with the senior pass. We stayed at site 31, level, gravel with a picnic table under a sun shade and a grill. There were maybe 4 or 5 others here and all very quiet.
Pit toilets were clean and had TP and did not smell.
It was a great overnight. Easy to get to, the dirt road here is in great condition, and it is not far from 90. It's close to Del Rio and we have internet, but the lake is low and it was hot, 89 on March 6 so we didn't stay longer.
Payment is easy at the kiosk. It right there at the end of the camp sites Takes credit cards.

Governors Landing Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
Amazing lil spot
We will definitely come back to this one. It is $10 per night to park overnight and the automated machine takes card! We found a nice spot that fit our 21ft travel trailer and 20ft van pulling it right next the the Reservoir. We woke up to beautiful views of the blue/green water and took a morning hike down to walk right out onto one of the natural jetty’s that goes right out into the middle of the water. The picnic tables on the way down to the water have usb charging that is solar powered and umbrellas built in. Perfect spot to have morning coffee/breakfast. We met some nice folks who also helped us back into our spot since it was dark. 10/10 for a boondocking experience

Great State Park
I stayed here for a few days during the eclipse. Good site but a little noisy.
Kim H.GuideSan Pedro Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
Quiet
Perfect place for a short stay to get away from everything and have some very peaceful nights. No road noise or people noise. With the lake being low it keeps most people away but it was perfect to just hang out. We had great Wi-Fi and long walks.

Great state park
We visited in the off season and the place was pretty empty. The only service is AT&T. Great hiking and nice river views.

Los Rios Campground
Highly HIGHLY recommend!!
We had a friends and family reunion of sorts here at the campgrounds for 5 days and it was the most amazing experience of our trip! We stayed in one of the cabins, a tiny home and utilized on RV hookup as well! So we got a picture of pretty much everything they offer. It was PERFECT to say the least! Water pressure was great! I have super thick hair and worry about being able to wash it thoroughly, but their bathrooms were just right! The AC's kept the cabin the perfect temperature for the hotter times of the day and at night or early mornings, you kept toasty warm. The grounds themselves were huge and you can set up a volleyball net as well as barbecue. If you wanted to lounge with other guests, you could in the common areas, or you can stick to yourselves as well, the place was so huge. The water was clear and cool and so very inviting! My son did cannon bombs of the cliff jump! Do not recommend that though:/... the women brought our inner tubes and laid out with our drinks soaking in the warm sun. Brandon and Sachi were the perfect hosts and I definitely plan on coming back year after year to experience this treasured place. Mahalo!

San Pedro Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
Maybe not viable in July anymore
Note, this is my second review of San Pedro campground. My first review was based on good nostalgia from around 2010 when the lake was high. However, I tent camped here on July 5, 2023 and I was the lone camper. The place felt scorched abandoned. It was hot. There is almost zero shade apart from the metal shade structures. I stayed in site 10 or 12 where there is some evening shade from the mesquite or huisache trees. The closest lake water is a 2 mile drive down Spur 454, where the NPS has improvised a boat ramp and swimming area with parking. But man, San Pedro campground is now high and dry and hot. I hate to give it 2 stars because I love Amistad but times have changed. Maybe some day the lake will rise again but it’s been like 12 years already since the lake receded. I had planned to stay more nights but it just wasn’t wise. Not in July anyway.

Annoyingly Large
Camp host made sure to wake us up the first thing that morning about our lack of hangtag . We were just staying the night while traveling .There were none at the gate and the office was closed . Dumpsters very 100’ along the campground roads . I bet this place is a zoo in the summer . Decent showers and the gift shop / store was nice as was the lady running it . Not sure I would return because of the rude state park staff though .. to bad , nice access to the river ..

American Campground
Nice place
Nice campground with RVs, trailers and concrete cabins.  Good customer service. I stayed in regular cabin number 8 for $63 per night. Nice AC because it was blazing hot . No bathroom in the regular cabins but the bathhouse was nice. I would return.
I did not swim in the campground pool, because I swam at beautiful lake Amistad at scuba cove at Diablo east. 
I post photos of nearby beautiful Lake Amistad, because I did not take any photos of American Campground.

Governors Landing Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
Views. Water. Shelter. Restroom. Windy!
Everything you would want out of a cheap campground. This was our first stop in our week long van-camping trip. We swung by the dispersed site past the reservoir going west on 90, but it was occupied by a large family with very little room left. Right before crossing the reservoir we noticed a campground overlooking the water and it looked somewhat open. The map showed it to be Governor’s landing and guided us into a sketchy road off the highway under the bridge, but once we entered the campground you can see Amistad Reservoir in all its glory.
$10 a night and first come first serve so you should get there early enough to find a spot facing the the water. You can hear the highway for sure but I didn’t mind it. The wind, on the other hand, was a challenge. I learned it’s more efficient to cook in a charcoal grill than a gas stove with high winds. The winds were so high, the overhang of my roof top tent lifted up taking the ladder up with it. By the way, if you ever get into that situation, tie down your tent to your vehicle. You’ll thank me later.
Come to find out, that wind fed a storm that freaked both us out inside our tent! We’ve weathered a storm before in the tent, but the added high winds had us holding on all night.
Concluding my review of this place, we went back as a bookend to our trip because we did love the place and learned how to deal with high winds since. Then, of course, we were hit with a storm. Again. Same camp. Same time. Same day of the week. But this time we sealed up the tent tight and hung out in the van watching movies on an iPad using the car stereo to over power the thunderous storm.
We see you Governor’s Landing. We’ll be back. We still love you.

Amazing!
Loved site 6 was spacious and really close to the river. Enjoyed how shallow and deep this part of river can be, definitely a great spot if Garner is full. The restroom were not the greatest but have no complains it has a toilets and showers.

Nice place
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. Love the live oaks and the manager John is a great guy.

Governors Landing Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area
This is a very small area
This is a small well maintained campsite next to the main road. It had potable water, clean sites, clean bathrooms, tent pads, BBQ, picnic table with shade covers, day use area and NPS workers showed up. It had an easy check in kiosk where we used a credit card. The sites that were on top of hill have a lot of road noise. The sites that sit lower and also further away would be your best bet. 15 was flat but noisy. There were not many sites available when we pulled in at night. 4? Available at 7pm on a Sunday.

Clean and great views
The campsites were well maintained and the bathrooms were clean. The views are fantastic and all the other campers were respectful. NPS came through in the morning and checked the garbages and bathrooms. I would stay here again!

Nice Night Stay
Nice concrete level sites. Easy access. The sites are large with short fence sections between. My only complaint would be I was unable to contact the office to confirm availability or make a reservation. With that said we showed up and there were 4 or 5 sites unoccupied.
