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."

About
Spur 406 Campground sits along the scenic shores of Amistad Reservoir within Amistad National Recreation Area. This small primitive campground offers six sites on a first-come, first-served basis, making it ideal for visitors seeking a quieter lakeside camping experience without the need for reservations. The campground rarely fills except on major holiday weekends. Each site includes a covered picnic table and BBQ grill. Vault toilets are available, but campers must bring their own drinking water as none is provided. No hookups are available. The campground accommodates both tents and RVs, with paved roads and gravel site surfaces. Ground fires are prohibited; only the provided BBQ grills may be used when fire restrictions allow. A boat launch ramp is located off the campground, though accessibility varies with lake levels. The reservoir has experienced historically low water levels, so boaters should verify conditions before launching. The campground is located about 13 miles west of the Amistad Visitor Center via US Highway 90.
Directions
From Amistad National Recreation Area Visitor Center, head west on US Highway 90 for 13.2 miles. Take a sharp right onto Spur 406 and continue about 2 miles to the campground.
