County-wide Burn Ban in Effect until July 8

In keeping with the county-wide burn ban enacted on January 15 and extended on April 9, fires--including charcoal fires--are not permitted within Amistad National Recreation Area. To read the Val Verde County Commissioners Court Order, click "More".

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

Rock Quarry Group Campground offers a private, primitive camping experience within Amistad National Recreation Area on the U.S.-Mexico border. The designated group site includes a large pavilion for gatherings, a vault toilet, campfire ring, pedestal grill, and covered picnic table. The site is lakefront-adjacent with some shade available. No potable water is provided, so groups must bring adequate supplies. Amistad NRA is known for excellent year-round recreation including boating, fishing, swimming, scuba diving, and waterskiing on Lake Amistad. The reservoir was created in 1969 at the confluence of the Rio Grande, Devils, and Pecos Rivers. Boat rentals are available at Rough Canyon, approximately 29 miles from the campground. The area also features significant archeological sites and rock art. Reservations are required and can be made through Recreation.gov from 180 to 3 days in advance. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out at 11:00 a.m. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Maximum stay is 14 consecutive days per individual.
