San Pedro Campground

We arrived about 6 PM On a Saturday night of a beautiful weekend, and no one was here! We selected our site, paid our $3 for the senior rate, and it was super quiet all night! You have to drive down a one mile dirt road that is well-groomed, and there is no water view because the Lake level is so low. Site was almost level, picnic table was large and clean and on a concrete pad with a large cover. Compost toilet was very clean, although no air and stuffy, but no smell.

Usually when traveling we like boondocking, but low cost fed recreation area campgrounds are great too. We pulled in this afternoon, as Campendium showed this one had room for larger rigs. Last time they we barely squeezed into a site at Governors Landing. Here no problem. Lots of space between sites. All sites have ramadas, grills, concrete tables and pads. Bonus today: no one else here! $3 with senior card!
Looks like lots to explore around Amistad, but we are on a time crunch to travel on, otherwise we’d hang a week. Next time.

The San Pedro Campground within the Amistad National Recreation Area is located near Del Rio, Texas. In this video, I give a walking tour of the Amistad National Recreation Area San Pedro Campground. The San Pedro Campground is our top pick for affordable, big rig friendly RV camping within the Amistad National Recreation Area. There is a one mile well maintained gravel access road to the San Pedro Campground. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 53.3 Mbps download speed and 8.51 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 156.0 Mbps download speed and 8.51 Mbps upload speed. T-Mobile cellular service clocked in at 45.0 Mbps download speed and 34.6 Mbps upload speed.

Camped 2/2-2/3/22 (Wed & Thur). $3 is half price (Senior pass). This is a nice campground and easy access from U.S. 90. No views of the lake though. Unfortunately during our stay, it was windy, rainy, and then an ice storm hit. Site pads weren't really clear, so we just pulled up alongside to the sheltered picnic table. Notes:

- No camp host, but the ranger came through.
- VTs clean and not smelly; ranger didn't replenish TP. Multiple VTs throughout campground.
- Sites are gravel/dirt, level and nicely spaced apart. In full sun.
- Lot of dog poop in some sites. (I did some cleanup.)
- Generators were in use by other campers, one on each side of us.
- Saw what looked like a dump station on Diablo East Rd.
- Had 4-5 bars on Visible.

I spent 3 nights at San Pedro. I was the only camper in the campground for two of the nights. One tent camper showed up for the third night. Easy access off of US 90. All sites are level and most have a metal cover with concrete tables. The park is patrolled by friendly Park Rangers. The grounds are well kept and the composting toilets are very clean and no odor. Fairly close to shopping and gas. No water, electricity or sewer disposal. Visited Del Rio and Seminole Canyon SP while there. I was very pleased. Just a little noise from traffic on US90 but not so loud as to be bothersome.

Fits all rig sizes with plenty of flat space! This is the largest campground in Amistad and no worries about rig size here! Although there are no water views, it is a convenient location to Del Rio. Coming from spur 454, the narrow gravel road looks ominous for big rigs, but it’s fine. Pull down the gravel road and there’s plenty of space to loop through the campground to find a spot! There are at least 4-5 pit toilets and a trash bin for every couple sites.
