There are five small campgrounds in Amistad National Recreation Area. We chose Governors Landing because of the easy access from US 90 but the close proximity to the road and the railroad tracks makes it a bit noisy. The sites at Governors Landing are small and some are sloped so if you have a large RV one of the other campgrounds might be better. All of the campgrounds have vault toilets, picnic tables with shelters, and grills. Governors Landing is the only one with water. A dump station is located on the road to Diablo East boat ramp.
The main activities are boating and fishing but the water level in the lake is very low. At one time the campgrounds were on the lake shore but now they’re all a good distance away. Some of the campsites still have nice lake views.
Although none of the campsites at Governors Landing are marked as accessible all of the picnic table shelters have concrete floors with level access paths and tables with extended tops. Some of the parking pads are completely paved. Part of the 1.3 mile Green and Blue loop trail at Diablo East is supposed to be hard surfaced and accessible but it has some steep slopes and rough patches. With help it’s possible to complete the loop. We did not try any of the other trails or stop at the visitor center. Amistad
