Diablo East Marina Cove, Scuba Cove, and Walkway Access Are Closed
The Diablo East Marina Cove, Scuba Cove, and walkway access are closed because of the presence of excessive docking material, unsafe walkway and dock, and unstable, loose ground. The area will reopen once these hazards have been corrected.
Only Left Side of Diablo East and Rough Canyon Boat Ramps Are Open - Rest Are Closed
Due to low water levels, only the left side of Diablo East and Rough Canyon boat ramps are open. Please use caution with Spur 406 and Spur 454 launches, as the water may be too shallow to launch most boats. To see a list of open ramps, click on "more."
Help Prevent Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Infestation
A number of lakes are infested with an array of aquatic invasive species that damage natural ecosystems and waterways. Boaters are advised to Clean, Drain, and Dry all boats and equipment every time they leave the water.

On August 14, Amistad Visitor Center will provide orientation and information but cannot sell passes or permits or exchange annual lake use pass receipts. Camping permits and lake use passes may be purchased at fee machines or at Pay.gov.
About
277 North Group Campground is a designated group camping area within Amistad National Recreation Area, situated along the US-Mexico border in southwest Texas. The site accommodates up to 35 campers and features a large pavilion shelter, covered picnic table, campfire ring, and pedestal grill. A vault toilet serves the area. Campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site, and the campground has no hookups or showers. The campground provides access to Lake Amistad, one of the top bass fishing destinations in the American Southwest. The reservoir, formed by Amistad Dam at the confluence of the Rio Grande, Devils, and Pecos Rivers, offers excellent year-round water-based recreation including boating, swimming, scuba diving, and waterskiing. Boat rentals are available at Rough Canyon Marina, approximately 15 miles away. Reservations are required for the group site and must be made through Recreation.gov between 3 and 180 days in advance. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Stays are limited to 14 consecutive nights, and individuals may only reserve the same group site twice per calendar year. Leashed pets are permitted.
