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.
Visitor Center Will Be Open But Cannot Process Transactions on 8/14
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
Governors Landing Campground sits within Amistad National Recreation Area near Del Rio, Texas, offering direct access to Lake Amistad's popular swimming areas. The campground features 15 first-come, first-served sites suitable for tents and RVs up to 28 feet in length. It is the only campground in the park with potable water available at shared spigots, making it a more convenient option than the primitive campgrounds elsewhere in the recreation area. Each campsite includes a covered picnic table and fire grill, with vault toilets available year-round. There are no hookups, but an RV dump station with potable water is located near the Diablo East boat ramp for campers with receipts proving park camping. The campground has paved roads and gravel surfaces in individual sites. Site capacity is limited to eight persons and one recreational vehicle per site, with a maximum stay of 14 consecutive nights and 60 nights per calendar year. Quiet hours are 10pm to 6am, and checkout is 11am. Picnicking at vacant sites is allowed from 7am to 3pm; occupying sites outside these hours requires payment of camping fees.
