Great park in the middle of nowhere. It is a 2 mile walk down the old us-90 (like a vacant feeder road off the main highway) down to the Pecos High Bridge. Ample trails within the park. A great park for using an electric stand up scooter. Lots of javelinas, jack rabbits, deer and birds. The tour down to the cave has a lot of steps. T-Mobile internet works best at the park and is plenty fast. Lost of sky for starlink as well. If you make it to Del Rio, the Mocajetes Restaraunt is great, or the little diner in Comstock is also pleasant. Langtry is about an hour away and has the nicest welcome center operated by the state with a road trail down to the Rio Grande. I recommend stocking a bunch of carbonated waters, ice cream, and other refreshing drinks. Plenty of border patrol, dps, park police and tower mounted cameras made it the safest area and park Ive ever been to.

Seminole Canyon SP is a wonderful small park in a great setting. We were there only for one night. Convenient to HWY90, to or from Big Bend, the park has friendly staff and nice hiking trails. The bath house was state park clean, and the small historical installation was really great. The absence of any privacy is, of course, the cost of a great high desert setting right off the river. Most site have sweeping views. Unfortunately, we didnt get to explore the trails. Wed definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Park, outstanding hiking trails with great views, and a guided pictograph tour that was very informative and interesting. Having said all that, the campground itself is mostly open, non level sites with just one bathhouse serving two loops. I wouldnt want to be here during the summer, it is the desert. We stayed two nights and experienced 95% of what the park had to offer

Very clean park and friendly staff. Several trails to hike or bike on (take plenty of water). Be sure to take one of the pictograph tours. Guides are very knowledgeable. Nice little museum at park headquarters. Stayed her in April 2022, we will definitely come back again. Stayed two nights on our way to Big Bend.

FYI, this campground is closed due to construction until summer 2020. We stopped by 2/9/2020. Take the canyon tour if you can though, it’s very interesting.

A gem in the Texas State Parks system, Seminole Canyon preserves priceless ancient rock art, and offers gorgeous views of the Rio Grande from the top of high canyon walls. It’s quiet and mostly dark at night but for the glow over Del Rio, 30 miles away. The awesome guided tour is led by experts in ancient rock art. The trails are all worth walking, especially the canyon rim trail, which is rough in places but nothing strenuous. Each offers views to remember. The campground and wash house are clean. Do not expect trees, but there are covered picnic tables for shade on the higher campground, which offers electricity and water, as well as water-only sites. In September, it’s hot and windy and few people are here. In fact, I was the only camper for days. In April, it was less hot, still windy, and full of birds. Fill up your gas tank in Del Rio from the east, or Sanderson from the west.

Beautiful and very quiet park. Unbelievable views from our site. Pictograph guided tour into the Canyon was spectacular. Visiting nearby Langtry is worth it to relive an era of the great American West and to learn about Judge Roy Bean, “the law west of the Pecos ”. If you are heading from or to Big Bend, this is a place to pause.

This park is about 30 miles west of Del Rio. We partook in the guided canyon tour. It was great. We also did the Rio Grande Hike which was 6 miles round trip. But at the destination overlook we were rewarded with great cliff views of the Rio Grande and the end of the canyon. The camp hosts were diligent in keeping the bathrooms clean and cleaning up the camp sites after campers departed. We had a great westward facing site on the lower part of the camp.
We camped here in 32 foot motor home with a toad in January of 2019

Great park, friendly staff, interesting historical sites, nice trails. The guided tour of the pictographs was interesting and worth the time. We stayed in the dry section of the campground, paved, level sites with picnic tables and interesting views. Helpful friendly hosts. We would stay again.
