6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Comstock provide travelers with varied accommodation options. Desert Hills RV Park in Comstock offers electric hookups, fifty-amp service, sewer connections, and water hookups suitable for larger vehicles. Sites are equipped with basic amenities including toilets and trash service. "This is a well managed RVPark with the usual amenities but also has a hiking trail and bird watching blinds," noted one camper about Broke Mill RV Park located west of Del Rio. Hidden Valley RV Park in Del Rio features full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections that accommodate both tent camping and RVs, with spacious pull-through rv pads that have earned positive reviews for their layout and tree coverage.
Access to these parks varies throughout the year with most remaining open regardless of season. For RVers traveling along Highway 90, Langtry Wagon Wheel RV Park provides electric, water, and sewer hookups with big-rig friendly sites. Cell service is generally strong throughout the region, with campers reporting good connectivity at most locations around Amistad Reservoir. When traveling in summer months, be aware that temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, making reliable hookups important for air conditioning operation. A dump station is available at Diablo East Campground approximately 4 miles from the San Pedro campground area. Pet policies vary between parks, with most allowing pets but requiring them to remain leashed while on property.
"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."
"Campground is located just a few miles from Del Rio, Texas and is part of the Lake Amistad Nat'l Rec Area."
"We 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."
Available this weekend
from $35 - $155 / night
"Showers / bathrooms were nice, site was private with picnic table, tent pad, a ramada, water electric, dump station."
"Two 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."
Available this weekend
from $10 - $20 / night
"The spot was pretty level and we had plenty of room to spread out relax. We were only 5 spaces away from the ocean."
"Great location. Everything is close by. Ladies in the office were friendly. Thank y’all"
TravelerWe took the tour of the Fate Bell shelter which was amazing. You get to see the cliff art up close and hear about what they might have been depicting. Showers and restrooms were very clean. Gorgeous night skies. Don’t pass this campsite!
GuideI stayed here one night. there was only one other group there. It was weird seemingly being in the middle of nowhere, but hearing the neighborhood noises of dogs barking and such was weird. An orange and white house cat came up and ran away, but I did have a fun experience with a tarantula.
The vault toilet was clean, but zero running water anywhere.
I only paid $6. The pay station does do credit/debit.
ScoutStopped on the way to Big Bend. No issues with RV hookups. Great location. Everything is close by. Ladies in the office were friendly. Thank y’all
GuideSuper special. You probably should bring a high clearance vehicle for inside the park. Be prepared for 22 miles of dusty gravel road getting to the park this road took me an hour pulling a trailer. Everything will be covered with a white chalky dust. Don't bring a trailer to #2 there is no turn around. The river has spring water pouring out of the rocks and it makes a trail of spring water at the end of the walkway. Bring lots of water, there is none at the campsites. Plan on taking trash out with you
GuideEveryone always seems sophisticated here. There is a fancy museum at the check in. The trails are fun and if you can do a really long trail one goes down to the rio grande river. I stop for a halfway going to the big bend site 28 is the best if you don't need electricity
TravelerWe got a late start out of San Antonio so we arrived in the dark. You can’t see the rest area after you turn off, you’ll need to follow the asphalt road for about 1/4 mile. Nice pavilion with several picnic tables and overhead roof. Nice view of the Pecos River and bridge.
RangerThis is a state park literally in the middle of nowhere, get all your provisions before arriving. Even if you can purchase very few things locally be prepared to pay exponentially higher prices due to the cost so being so remote.
This is a desert campground at it's finest, even Big Bend could learn a few things about customer service and park maintenance from how this park is managed.
We stayed on site 14, nice high ground which means welcoming cool breezes at night.
The park has many hiking trails, we took the one to the canyon behind the ranger's office which I considered beautiful and moderately challenging. There is also one behind the upper campground bathhouse that was our favorite, it has a paved path with some small signs identifying local plants and takes you past a "Bird Watching Blind" where you enter a small shack and can view through a small opening many birds and javelinas.
Seminole Canyon is a Dark Sky Park and the night skies are absolutely awesome.
Nice way to experience all the beauty of desert camping.
TravelerThis is a rest area with a killer view of the Pecos River and the bridge crossing it. I am the only one camping here with room for maybe one more . So if you want this one you should come early. My Verizon only has 1 bar. If traveling east on 90 the turn is just after crossing the bridge. Easy to miss
GuideSelf pay, easy in and out!
Around Comstock, Texas, RV campers find accommodations within the Chihuahuan Desert landscape where summer temperatures routinely reach triple digits. The area sits near Amistad National Recreation Area, which features limestone shorelines and desert terrain at approximately 1,100 feet elevation. Winter temperatures remain mild with occasional freezes, making year-round camping feasible.
Hiking trails: At Broke Mill RV Park, visitors can explore designated trails with wildlife observation opportunities. "It is well kept with the usual amenities but also has a hiking trail and bird watching blinds," notes Mark, who found the park exceeded expectations.
Lake activities: Swimming and fishing at Amistad Reservoir provide relief from desert heat. "We wanted a layover stop on our way to Big Bend National Park and chose this park to use a PassPort America discount," explains Rick G. about his stay at Buzzard Roost RV Campground.
Boat launches: The Governors Landing Campground offers direct water access. "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," reports Brodie D.
Covered picnic areas: Shaded tables provide comfort during hot days. "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," notes Brodie D. about Governors Landing.
Stargazing opportunities: Clear desert skies offer excellent night viewing conditions. "Sunsets and sunrises are gorgeous, stars are fantastic. Only downside is the noise from the highway is quite loud," mentions Kera P.
Affordable rates: San Pedro Campground offers budget-friendly options at $6 per night. "Just $6 ($3/night with senior or access pass)... Dry camping only. Vault toilets. Nice covered picnic tables and grills," reports Phillip C.
Weather considerations: Summer brings extreme heat while winters remain mild. "When we were there in October 2021, the lake was so dried up you could not see it from the tent sites. Fire ants EVERYWHERE," warns Stacy M. about San Pedro Campground.
Road noise: Some sites near highways experience traffic disturbance. "We found the numerous trucks along the highway a little disruptive of our sleep starting around 4 am, when they begin to hit the road," reports Shari G. about her Governors Landing experience.
Water levels fluctuate: Lake access varies with drought conditions. "My son and I tent camped at San Pedro several times circa 2010 when the lake was high. We always had a good time... The drought came in 2011 and the lake receded far from the campground," explains Jacob W.
Site selection: Choose locations with adequate shade structures. At Hidden Valley RV Park, visitors appreciate the natural cooling. "Very welcoming hosts, great tree coverage, in town but still a very quiet area where you can go for walks," notes Monica R.
Stay length planning: Many visitors use the area as a stopover destination. "We stopped at Amistad for one night on our way to Big Bend. I wish we had built in some time to spend a couple days here. Absolutely beautiful area," shares Natalie B. about her San Pedro Campground visit.
Bathroom facilities: Check restroom conditions before committing to a site. "First bathroom completely trashed, second bathroom, someone left the door open and the seat of the pit toilet up... was swarming with flies," warns Tamera about Governors Landing facilities.
Solar setup: Many sites lack hookups but offer good sun exposure. "No hook ups but I don't need them. My solar is cranking away. There are several potable water stations, trash cans and vault toilets if ya need them," explains Steve D. about his stay at Governors Landing Campground.
Water planning: Potable water access points exist but require planning. "Drinking water can be filled at the Diablo East Campground dump station, about 4 miles away for no charge, and of course the town is full of water filling kiosks like all southern desert towns," notes Shari G.
Wind protection: Position RVs with wind conditions in mind. "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," advises Richard T. from his experience at Governors Landing.
