"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."
"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!"
$15 - $35 / night
"The CG is well worth the $19 (with Veterans Discount) per night for a pull through with full hookups. Sites are level with pea-stone and hard packed gravel. Easiest setup so far."
"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."
"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."
$35 - $155 / night

"good brush coverage
• Most sites had a nice distance from neighbor sites
• Clean campsite
• Picnic table in good condition, especially eating surface
• Our site had aluminum picnic table on a concrete"
"This is a small park that is centered around two main attractions. First is the actual cavern. Kickapoo Cavern is a moderate size cavern and completely undeveloped."
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.
RangerHidden 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.
GuideThis campground has running water, pit toilets, and well maintained campsites (small camper van or tent - not good for big rigs). First come availability- we pulled in at 7pm and had plenty of spaces to choose from. No electric Beautiful views of the water Safe and clean Credit cards only to pay fee ($10)
LegendWe wanted a layover stop on our way to Big Bend National Park and chose this park to use a PassPort America discount. It is close to Del Rio with all the shopping, etc. you might need, but it’s target clientele isn’t transient folks. Mostly long-term stays with people working in the area. The Bar has a some loud music running on Saturday night as well. Once the “booming” stopped around midnight we were able to get a decent night sleep. To do over again, I’d pull into San Pedro Campground at Amistad National Recreation Area.
LegendThis park is a great escape to disconnect, view the DARK SKY and witness Mexican free-tailed bat emergence! Park campground is 25 miles after the turn off of US90. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights in mid-March. Few bats emerged during our stay; much better emergence in April as experienced in previous visits to Stuart Cave.
Pros:
• Excellent DARK SKY campground
• Stuart Cave bat emergence nightly from a very nice viewing deck
• Small park
• Extremely quiet park during March Spring Break
• Good campsite privacy due to good brush coverage
• Most sites had a nice distance from neighbor sites
• Clean campsite
• Picnic table in good condition, especially eating surface
• Our site had aluminum picnic table on a concrete slab under a metal shelter; not all sites had metal shelter
• Clean restroom/shower facility
• Campsite hook-ups in good condition.
• Level gravel campsite.
• Pedestal BBQ grill, fire pit with grilling grate, double hook lantern pole and aluminum picnic table at each site.
• Park roadways in good condition.
• Park Ranger patrolled campground numerous times throughout day/evening
Cons:
• No AT&T signal; no park WIFI, so completely without phone service and no public phone available for emergerncies. Had to drive outside of Park about 3 miles for AT&T signal.
• County burn ban prohibited wood campfires and ban posted on Park’s website. Park Ranger stopped by our campsite to tell us to put out our campfire, but we showed him it was a propane firebowl.
• Limited shade in campsites
• Must pack out all personally generated trash. Absolutely NO dumpsters; no garbage cans in park
• No campground host
•. No entrance gate locked at night
• One and only restroom used by entire Park, so campers and day users. Women’s restroom had 2 toilets, 2 sinks and one shower stall
• Women’s restroom lacked consistent supply of TP and wall dispenser soap• Wildlife sightings limited to squirrels and armadillos
• No park store, so come prepared with all necessary supplies as Brackettville is closest small town which is 25 miles away with only a grocery store and couple fuel stations. Ulvade and Del Rio have the typical box stores.
RangerMy son and I tent camped at Spur 406 at Lake Amistad circa 2010 when the lake was high before the drought of 2011 and the low lake levels afterward. Simple campground with several sites. Great place near Highway 90 to camp. There wasn’t anyone else camping there that night. It’s on the opposite side of the lake from Del Rio and it gets very dark. There were lots of stars. We went wading in the lake at night where the old highway enters the lake and it’s easy to walk in the water or swim there farther out. The next day we caught a yellow scorpion in a jar and later released it. Good times. There was a simple bathroom. The sites have grills and maybe metal shade structures and picnic tables. There are no RV hook-ups but the road and sites might be conducive to RVs and trailers. The spur is a good 2-lane paved road but I don’t remember how big all the sites are. Per 2020 official website, camping fee was $6/night. Great place.
GuideThe RV park is in an old Military installation that has been converted into housing, camping, golf course, swimming at the spring and has a museum. The grounds are very pretty. The CG is well worth the $19 (with Veterans Discount) per night for a pull through with full hookups. Sites are level with pea-stone and hard packed gravel. Easiest setup so far. CG has a clean laundry room for only $1 a load, community room with books for sharing and a nice community use fire pit area. The staff is so nice and very knowledgeable about the Fort's history and local area. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the sites are close to each other and wifi is null. Verizon is good and we used out hotspot for TV & laptop.
LegendJust 5 miles outside of Del Rio, Texas lies the limestone lined Amistad Reservoir which gathers the waters of the Rio Grande river on its journey to the gulf. Amistad means friendship, and as a dam project, was co-sponsored by the US and Mexico. This park is a confluence of three distinct ecosystems, which makes the flora extra special.
There are many developed campgrounds throughout the Recreation Area, the San Pedro campground has a few sites that offer more privacy away from the main campground, and dozens in the larger, more open area. Each is set up with a grill, picnic table and shade shelter. A large group campsite is available for reservation, but not during COVID. There are no electrical hook-ups (bring your solar!), and no water available at this campground. Pit toilets were clean and hopefully they'll fix the lock on the doors soon (in the meantime, just use a stick). Whaddya want for 6 bucks a night? The stay limit is 2 weeks, and the rangers do check.
San Pedro is further away from the water than some of the other camping areas, but it was quiet, comfortable and lovely. Since the Verizon signal was super strong we were able to get a ton of things accomplished while also squeezing in some hikes, bikes, paddles, and runs. There are a few trails around, but lots of quiet dirt roads to stay active. The boat launch was a short 2 mile drive away. And of course the crystal blue lake offers everything from swimming, fishing, paddling, and powerboating.
Del Rio is one of the larger cities along the border between Loredo and El Paso, so there really isn't much you can't get in town just a short drive away. We even got some work done on our truck and were able to just bike back to the campground whiel it was in the shop. 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.
TravelerGreat 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.
