Best RV Parks & Resorts near Langtry, TX

Campground 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.

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. We had a covered picnic table and fire ring.  Overwise there is no water, sewer or electric.  They do have vault toilets conveniently located throughout the campground.  It's a self-serve place. We just paid our $6 fee at the entry kiosk and that was it.  There was quite a bit of traffic in and around the campground as it appeared some people stay quite awhile.

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.

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. 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.

We 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.
