River Bend Camping Area sits within San Angelo State Park on open terrain near the lake, offering full hookups for RVs at $10 per night. The campground provides electric, water, and sewer connections along with amenities like showers, picnic tables, and fire rings. One reviewer noted power lines running through some sites, though the location includes convenient access to the water via a nearby driveway down to the river.
The park features hiking and equestrian trails plus swimming opportunities in the lake. Campers can explore additional campgrounds around San Angelo for different experiences in the area. Sites may offer limited privacy when the park is busy, though spacing varies throughout the camping area. Reservations are available and pets are welcome at this state-managed facility.
