About
Located 11 miles north of Del Rio at Amistad National Recreation Area, 277 North Group Campground provides access to one of the Southwest's premier water recreation destinations. The campground features one reservable group site and 17 primitive campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site includes a covered picnic table and BBQ grill, suitable for both tents and RVs. Amistad National Recreation Area sits at the confluence of the Rio Grande, Devils, and Pecos Rivers, where Amistad Dam created a massive reservoir in 1969. The area is renowned for largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass fishing. Low water levels have limited boat ramp access, though four ramps remain open including one potentially accessible from the campground depending on lake levels. The semi-arid, subtropical climate brings hot, humid summers and mild winters. The campground operates year-round with vault toilets but no water or hookups. Ground fires are prohibited; use the provided grills. Visitors can stay up to 14 consecutive nights with a 60-night annual park limit. Quiet hours run from 10pm to 6am with an 11am checkout. The paved main road gives way to unpaved campsite access roads. Rough Canyon, 15 miles away, offers boat rentals. Nearby attractions include Seminole Canyon State Park's ancient rock art and Devils River State Natural Area.
