We came here for some diving at Lake Amistad. The park is new, very clean, and the staff is very friendly. No shade to speak of really; lots of small new trees. Hook ups were all new, WiFi is outstanding very high signal strength. The pool was clean, bathrooms and showers were also clean and much nicer than some I have seen in homes. Site was crushed rock and level. The roads through the park are paved. No real road noise from the nearby highway. The park is located just outside of Del Rio and is only a couple minutes to eateries, shopping, and from Lake Amistad. Big rig friendly, and would highly recommend this park to families and friends.

We stayed here for a nice weekend of pool and river swimming. The staff is extremely friendly; the owners are top notch folks. The restrooms are very clean and the same goes for the showers. The pool was well kept and very refreshing in the extreme heat. The North Llano River at the park is up, but not what you would consider a good swimming hole. The Junction KOA is close the State Park, which does have some extremely nice swimming. Wi-Fi was decent for email checking, but it is by no means high speed, however it is free. Sites were level and clean. The group of ducks that belong to the park are raising about 20 young ones.

This was our first time here in '09. The pool felt great and was crystal clear. Busy time of year with Spring Break in full swing. The park was totally full; lots of campers and trailers, but still very peaceful. Very quiet overall, cool breezes, and great views. Now to the not so great; seems that staffing is a bit shy, some trash blowing about the grounds and a couple of pocket motorcycles buzzing about at excessive speeds. Even after reporting the deficiencies and picking up some trash ourselves it did not seem to have an impact. The site we stayed at was not covered and the table was very worn due to weather. Some brush control would be a good addition to the park. The bathrooms were clean but could use some updates, fixtures were rusting and some were stuck running. All in all it was a great time and we will return; the pool can't be beat.

Very friendly staff. I was going to arrive after the office hours and the manager stayed to ensure I made it in and got all the required codes, gates and showers. Sites very clean and hookups in good shape. Lots of sand burrs, pets and kids beware. Gated area a plus, only people in the Park that should be there. Road noise is an issue, but I have had much worse. WiFi is an additional charge, but has strong signal.

A place to lay your head when you need a site. Area was open to larger rigs and had easy access. This however was a drawback as the night drew on and the traffic was high volume, lots of noise from traffic. The staff was friendly, rather young, but friendly. Seems to be a work in progress, paved sites and clean hookups. Didn't have WiFi, phone, or cable, but I didn't need it for an overnight stay.

This was our first outing as a family in the new Fifth Wheel. I have to say I was impressed with Balmorhea State Park. The pool is very refreshing but does get very busy with locals, tour buses, church groups, and divers throughout the day. Millions of gallons of water tend to attract lots of folks in this desert environment. We took our dips early and then enjoyed Balmorhea, Fort Davis, and other area attractions throughout the day. Quite camp ground over all, friendly staff, and is a nice base camp for exploring the Big Bend area of Texas. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time, most of the park was full even during the middle of the week, might be tough just to drop in and expect a site. Larger rig friendly, hook ups were in good condition.
