We were looking for a place near Del Rio on our way out west and chose this spot as it was also close to a free dump site just a mile or so away. It is part of the Amistad Lake Recreational area.

We were looking for a place near Del Rio on our way out west and chose this spot as it was also close to a free dump site just a mile or so away. It is part of the Amistad Lake Recreational area. With our America the Beautiful pass it was only $5 for the night. I has some nice views and would have been great had the weather not been so cold. Site number 1 is close to level and is a drive through which was perfect for our 34' motorhome and car pulled with a tow dolly.

Love the location very easy access off US 90. Some of the sites have a water spigot but not all. The are all quite small in size so getting anything over 28 - 30 ft could be a challenge. Cellular service is good. Highway noise not bad but can be heard. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

The perfect blend of camping & access for me. I dont like RV parks so was thrilled to find this well kept primitive RV camping in a recreation area near a thoroughfare. Yup, you can hear travelers/truckers going by, yup there is a train that you hear from time to time and there is a public shooting range across the highway but i found it all delightful looking at the beautiful lake sitting on white carbonate gravel. $5/nite with the interagency pass. Good connectivity, bugs not terrible and my own little path to an inlet. Will definitely come back!

What a beautiful site for sunset and moonrise. About 10 campers here, mostly truck campers...would be tough turning for anything very long. Short bike rides and walks around. Vault toilets in the campground were a little shaky; those in the day use area better. Lots of road noise in our site, but nothing ear plugs couldn't overcome.

A great place for travelers to rest up at a reasonable rate. Nice staged table areas, pit toilets, easy site access and low prices.

Yes, there is the road and random train noise from the nearby bridges. We however, didn't notice it enough to have it bother us, we slept great.

Yes, there is the road and random train noise from the nearby bridges. We however, didn't notice it enough to have it bother us, we slept great. Can't remember the site number we stayed in but it was the "pull through" on the water side. A little small for our 26 foot fifth wheel but we managed and once settled in it was an amazing stay. Was able to get lots of solar and cel signal was fine on At&T. The dog loved swimming in the lake and walks among the limestone shores were fun.
Water spigots were also handy to have and for 8 bucks a night it was perfect.

If you stop at the ranger station just outside of Del Río, you can snag a Jr. Ranger book. Once acquired, they will also provide you with the badge AND patch. No need to make a distinction here, folks. The ranger then grants you full rights to administer said patches once your children have successfully completed the book. Not only does this save you a trip back to what can be a well out of the way ranger station, depending on your plans, it grants the adult in your life (I assume) the full and immediate privileges of a NPS Ranger. I haven’t asked about my pension just yet, but I assume they’ll notify me come 97 or whatever the current retirement age is when I’m old.

There is water at this location and a convenience store nearby for gas, ice & groceries. Close to Del Rio as well.

Governors Landing feels like a rest stop, but it's a campground. It's located right off the highway, which means there's a lot of road noise.
We chose site #5 because it's farthest from the road, and it seemed the most private (though we quickly learned otherwise). There's a trail to the lake leading to a dock behind our campsite, so we regularly saw people walking by with fishing poles.
Many sites are small and un-level, but there are a few that can accommodate bigger rigs. There is water available and 2 vault toilets.
Verizon had 1 bar of 2G - which means voice only, no data. I was a little worried about that since I use Verizon for work calls, but didn't have a problem.
