"Campground is located just a few miles from Del Rio, Texas and is part of the Lake Amistad Nat'l Rec Area."
"Just an over night stop for us, primitive campground with shaded tables, park is minutes away from lake and Del Rio"
"Its just north of Del Rio, TX...named the nations friendlist boarder town. Crime rate is reportedly almost non existent around here."
"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."
"Really close to Amistad. And any shopping needs you’ll need in del Rio. Great WiFi too."
"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"
"Hidden 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."
"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."

"I’ve never camped at 277 North, but we had a picnic here around 2010 and swam in the lake at the end of the spur. Good times. Right off Highway 277 but a nice place."
"We were only 5 spaces away from the ocean. We enjoyed the live band on Saturday night and then the church service on Sunday was very nice. I can understand why this place gets sold out so often."
TravelerVery nice small campground in a fairly remote state park. The park opens Friday morning and closes Monday morning. The campground is very clean, quiet and appeared well maintained. The park staff were really nice. There are some campsites with electric and water and can accommodate an RV or camper. The rest are for tents only and just have water. Shade is sparse and it is VERY hot in the summer months. It was also very windy while we were there. There is no cell service, however the park headquarters building has wifi you can access for free and the range was pretty good. Caves in the park are home to large numbers of bats, and watching them exit in the evenings and fly back at dawn is quite a sight. There is also a really nice bird blind where staff set up a little recirculating creek to attract lots of birds. I saw several species of birds I had never seen before. The main reason we traveled here was for the very dark skies at night for star gazing and astrophotography. Unfortunately it was cloudy at night except for two hours one evening. I would like to come back but would only do it during the colder months as we were tent camping and the daytime temperatures were high 90’s F.
RangerA camp sites were decent. Picnic tables and pavilions were okay. The picnic table pad needed some work. Barbecue pit was on the ground. The bathrooms were clean. TV signal was great and there was 5G cell service with T-Mobile. The park was very clean as well. As the camping areas were really clean. I enjoyed my stay here. There's lots of historical stuff around to see.
LegendCactus, no trees, hot sun. This is west Texas! Seriously, it’s a nice campground with covered picnic tables. Plenty of areas to walk with your dog. Just watch out for the cactus and thorn bushes. Sites are spaced and as private as you can be when there are no trees. Would I stay here again? Definitely if coming through the area. Beautiful stars and sunsets are an added bonus
GuideThe entrance was a bit narrow but fine from our 34’ tt. The ground is rocky but each of the four campsites had a more or less level spot in front of the covered picnic table. Number 4 has the best view but 2 and 3 are closer to trails. Fire rings and grills. The lake was very low due to drought but there were still a lot of people out fishing. There is no pit toilet in the campground but there is a flush toilet up the hill from the campground near the ranger station.
RangerEasy to find with plenty of spots open. Our neighbor reported seeing a fox come through our site. The campground was very clean and well kept. There is a highway very close and train tracks just beyond that but it didn’t bother us at all as there was very little traffic while we were sleeping.
TravelerSlept in my cargo conversion. Had to use my Starlink to get internet and used my power station for electricity
TravelerOnly stayed one night, in late March cool night warm day. Showers / bathrooms were nice, site was private with picnic table, tent pad, a ramada, water electric, dump station.
We missed the tour, the vistor center was very nice, did a little exploring on our own, coming back for sure.
Ranger(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.
