Slept in my cargo conversion. Had to use my Starlink to get internet and used my power station for electricity
Scout
Only 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.

(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.
GuideQuite solitary camp just off the highway. Free.
Traveler
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.
GuidePerfect 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.
ScoutNice spot . Very spectaculaire view on the ridge and the canyon. Quiet
RangerNote, 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.
Ranger
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. 
GuidePerfect camping in the high desert . Small quiet campground with stunning views . Mexico to our right … U.S . To our left . Impeccable restrooms . Site was secluded .
GuideThis is a wonderful dispersed campground in a national rest/park area on the hill with close access to the highway.
GuideNice 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.
GuideCame here as a last minute plan B after original trip east showed too much rain. Very happy we found a great camp space here. Really enjoyed the facilities, staff were very friendly, campground extremely clean, and great hiking trails. Will be back in Spring or Fall for more temperate weather and I imagine it is spectacular!
GuideSo far an amazing place and wish I was staying longer. Clean, nice, easy in and out. The views and the quiet are priceless!
GuideSeminole Canyon is usually my first stop on my way to Davis Mountains State Park. I'm a tent camper. Every campsite has all you would need. Water, electricity, and a table. Can be challenging if the wind is blowing hard but doable. Wonderful hiking trails with vistas over the Rio Grande River. Also take the guided tour into the canyon to see the ancient pictographs.
Ranger
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. 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.
GuideWhen traveling near Del Rio, we always try to stop here for a night or two. Well spaced sites and clean pit toilets. If looking for an out-of-the-way place to spend the night, this is it. Just a short 1-mile drive on a gravel road (well maintained) to a number of great sites. The only downside is that the water at this “water front” site was nowhere to be seen. The lake hadn’t extended up this far in many, many years.

Want to get away from it all? Make sure you have a rig that can handle rough dirt and rocky roads, make sure your camper can do the same, or bring a tent, and you’re good to go. The campsites are so spread out, you can run a generator all night if you wanted to, and not a soul except the coyotes would hear it. It’s peaceful, dusty, and beautiful all at the same time. Not many hiking trails, but the ones there are awesome. The river and Finegan Springs are AMAZING. The restrooms are the cleanest around, the showers are hot, but they are a LONG drive from the sites and on pretty rocky roads. Not easy. The sites are fantastic. We stayed in site 6, which has a beautiful canyon view. We loved the peace and quiet and the sunsets. No cell service AT ALL. Wi-Fi is spotty at the restrooms/ campground entrance, but you won’t get it at the sites. Make sure you have the water you need for the weekend and a porta potty. Limited availability so book early. That’s what makes this park an awesome experience.
GuideThis park is right along the border, but don’t let that deter you. It’s as safe as can be, as the river in this area ledges up anyone intending on crossing over illegally. The rangers offer a tour of the petroglyphs, some of the oldest in North America, and it is done very well. Visitor center has an amazing museum inside. Campsites are pretty exposed, but spacious. There is zero cell service there, but spotty Wi-Fi from the restrooms. The trails are well marked and offer amazing vistas. Fun mountain biking too. Lots to do.
GuideBeautiful park with great desert scenery.
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.
RangerThis campground is your typical Texas desert environment, and has awesome pictographs that you can view via guided tour! There are hiking trails that trace the rim of the Seminole Canyon and have views of the Rio Grande. We did the Fate Bell guided tour which is not very strenuous and takes you down into the canyon to see 4000 year old pictographs. Definitely worth it as they are fading due to man made changes in the environment and won't be visible to the eye much longer.
We stayed in site 6, which was a bit disappointing. Since you're in a desert there's not much to divide the sites, but they are spacious. The prime real estate is in the loop with sites 18 - 31. The outer sites on that loop have a really great view! The no hookup sites on the other loop (9, 10, 11, 13) also have nice views. The primitive camping area is actually pull through RV sites that just never got their hookups so if you're up for camping with no hookups those sites can accommodate large rigs.
Don't miss taking a few mile drive to the west to check out the Pecos High Bridge views!

This state park is really in the middle of nowhere. It has a tiny campground, with only 5 RV sites. The sites feel well spaced with trees in between them giving you privacy. They have sewer hookups at the official RV sites, and a dump station if you stay in one of the no hookup sites. The sky is amazing at night! They have good hiking and allow mountain bikes on the trails. We stayed 2 nights and definitely want to go back again to experience this park. We hiked most of the trails, but did not get to see the bats due to the time of year, and did not get to do a guided tour to the cavern so have a great reason to go back. There is no cell service so you can fully unplug and relax.
GuideTwo sunsets that went on and on, we hiked the Canyon Rim- Presa Overlook trails and back ( about 3 mi worth). We live in the PNW, so desert is not home territory for us. Much of the beauty is subtle, and Seminole Canyon really shines.
There is a small well done history museum in the Park Headquarters. Everything looks new and clean; restrooms, campsites are level, most have shelters. The trails are well marked and well mapped. It’s one of the best-designed and maintained camps I have been to.
They offer guided tours to the nearby Pictograph site; some of the pictographs apparently go back as far as 10,000 years. You purchase tickets for these tours and some moderately challenging hiking is required.
All in all, it’s a pretty fabulous place. But I sort of wish we didn’t bring our dog. It’s not a very pet-friendly environment because the desert is like that.
TravelerGreat park, I’m so glad I stumbled across it. Super friendly help in the office. Sites a clear and clean, quite level for being gravel. Really close to Amistad. And any shopping needs you’ll need in del Rio. Great WiFi too.
GuideDon't expect the normal campground experience. We arrived only to be greeted warmly by the staff and directed to our campsite. For such a desolate area the campsite was fully equipped perfectly sited with respect to other campers. Restroom and shower facilities could not have been cleaner or better.
Dark dark skies made for great heaven gazing.
Gift shop was filled with stuff you would like to take with you.
The highlight of the Park is the twice daily guided tour of the 10,000 year old pictographs on the sides of the canyon. Unusual and should not be missed.
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.
