Reviews
"Beautiful area, amazing views, a lot of picnic areas, definitely visit the park visitor center, rangers are very nice and helpful and full of information. Park is dog friendly."
"This review is of the Amistad National Recreation Area Visitor Center. It is open 7 days a week and almost every day of the year. When we visited, the rangers/staff were happy to see us and were very kind. The displays take up most of one room but were definitely worth a quick stop and check. We especially liked the artifacts and reproductions of artifacts. Those are always interesting to see. They also had a display of animal skulls and tracks that I'm sure younger kids would have been even more fascinated than me. Well, my 12 year old brain enjoyed them and was amazed at how fierce something that size seems. If visiting the area, check it out next time."
"Nice place to camp for a few days. Beautiful scenery. The road noise is constant but bearable. Only $10 per night. Water spigots here and there."
"It was fun making our way around the Lake Amistad National Recreation Area. The lake is very low, but what's left of it is very beautiful. The visitor's center is a wonderful place to start your visit since it is filled with lots of great information and historical data about the entire area. It's right off of Highway 90 and really easy to find. We decided to hike the Sunrise Trail after asking a ranger lots of questions because it is pretty easy to navigate and only about a mile and a half long. Even after talking to the ranger, it was very difficult to find this trail because it starts at a boat business parking lot and signage is not very good. The hardest part of the trail is finding it. It's mostly flat with a few hills. After the trail, we went to the Governor's Landing area and used our camp chairs to relax by the lake and watch others fish, including some people who were part of a big bass fishing tournament. This is a wonderful place to get close to nature and take in some great views."
"Awesome, extremely peaceful, quiet, and one of the greatest places to fish into camp out loved it!!"
