Falcon State Park

About

Falcon State Park occupies 572 acres along the Texas-Mexico border at Falcon International Reservoir, one of South Texas's premier fishing and water recreation destinations. The park draws visitors year-round with its mild subtropical climate, though winter months see the heaviest RV traffic as snowbirds flock to the region. The campground offers 98 sites divided among three distinct areas. Javelina Run provides 31 full-hookup pull-through sites with 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Mesquite Bend has 31 water/electric pull-through sites with a wheelchair-accessible restroom. Black Bass Loop contains 36 primitive water-only sites available first-come, first-served. All sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to hot showers and restrooms. Beyond camping, the park is renowned as a birding hotspot along the Central Flyway, with species like the green jay, Altamira oriole, and ringed kingfisher drawing birders from across the country. The reservoir offers excellent fishing for largemouth bass, channel catfish, and white bass, along with swimming, water skiing, and kayaking. A 2.8-mile trail system winds through the thornscrub habitat typical of this South Texas brush country.
