How it was placed
Amistad National Recreation Area (NPS), on the Rio Grande / Lake Amistad near Del Rio. Camping page https://www.nps.gov/amis/planyourvisit/camping.htm, read 2026-08-16. FEE, verbatim: "$6-$10 per site" -- LOW COST, NOT FREE. First-come, first-served; the group sites at Rock Quarry, San Pedro and 277 North are separate and reservable on recreation.gov at $35-$155. STAY LIMIT, verbatim: campers may stay "up to 14 consecutive nights with a limit of 60 nights in the park in a calendar year". NPS describes these campgrounds as primitive with vault toilets and no drinking water except at Governors Landing. Coordinates from the NPS official GIS layer NPS_Public_POIs_Geographic (https://mapservices.nps.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NationalDatasets/NPS_Public_POIs_Geographic/FeatureServer/0, queried 2026-08-16 by UNITCODE). On the Devils River arm, north of Del Rio. This is the only one of the Amistad campgrounds the NPS POI layer marks POISTATUS='Existing' and OPENTOPUBLIC='Yes'. Primitive; vault toilets; no drinking water. Nearest incorporated town: Del Rio, 15.1 mi (US Census TIGERweb Incorporated Places, straight-line to the place's internal point). | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low. Fee value is the agency's own, not field-checked. Not field-verified -- confirm access, road conditions and fire rules before you go.
