Campground amenities vary significantly throughout the region. Sites like Fort Clark Springs provide laundry facilities, community rooms, and fire pit areas at reasonable rates. The region generally lacks public lands for dispersed camping, with most overnight options consisting of established campgrounds and RV parks. Proximity to border patrol activities means some areas have increased security presence. A visitor to Fort Clark Springs noted, "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." Many campgrounds feature mature trees that provide welcome shade during the intense summer heat, though sites are often positioned close together, limiting privacy.
