Best Campgrounds near Langtry, TX

81 Reviews

Camping areas around Langtry, Texas range from established campgrounds to primitive sites along the Rio Grande River and Pecos River. Seminole Canyon State Park Campground offers tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups approximately 12 miles east of Langtry. Amistad National Recreation Area, about 30 miles to the southeast near Del Rio, provides multiple camping options including San Pedro Campground and Governor's Landing. The region includes both developed facilities with amenities like covered picnic tables and primitive camping zones with minimal facilities. Several campgrounds in the area feature shade structures important for desert camping.

Road conditions vary significantly, with some campgrounds requiring travel on rough dirt and gravel roads. Many sites within Devils River State Natural Area require high-clearance vehicles. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, making late fall through early spring the most comfortable camping seasons. Cell service is extremely limited throughout the region, with many areas having no coverage at all. Most campgrounds in Amistad National Recreation Area charge $6-10 per night with 14-day stay limits. Water conservation is essential as drinking water access is limited at many sites. A camper noted, "Devils River SNA is one of my most favorite parks in the Texas Parks system... Cell service with ATT is non-existent. All of the campsites are offgrid, no electric, no water, no shade."

Campers consistently highlight the crystal-clear waters of the rivers and reservoir as primary attractions. Fishing, paddling, and swimming opportunities at Amistad Reservoir receive particular praise in visitor reviews. The Chihuahuan Desert landscape offers exceptional stargazing due to minimal light pollution, though proximity to Highway 90 creates noise issues at some campgrounds like Governor's Landing. Several visitors mentioned the cultural and historical significance of the area, particularly the ancient rock art at Seminole Canyon. According to reviews from The Dyrt, "Seminole Canyon State Park is located in the southwest part of Texas. The Rio Grande River and the Pecos River run through the park and have shaped the history of the area." Sites with shade structures are highly valued given the exposed desert terrain and intense sun.

    Seminole Canyon State Park Campground

    Clean private, quiet.

    Very clean and private. Wonderful views. August may not have been the best time to come in an Aliner camper (not the parks fault), Our ac couldn't keep up during the day. Nights and mornings were fantastic, though. Bathrooms were clean, showers worked well, and the stars were bright at night. Site 26 is a bit sloped.

    Seminole Canyon State Park Campground

    Decent camp sites

    A 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.

    Seminole Canyon State Park Campground

    West TX - what’s not to love?

    Cactus, 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

    Rough Canyon Campground

    Beautiful spot for dry camping

    The 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.

    Governors Landing Campground — Amistad National Recreation Area

    Overnight stop

    Easy 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.

    Pecos River Overlook Rest Area

    Awesome views

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

    West Texas Gem

    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.

    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.
