Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX

Because about 15% of our total RV parking was at military installations, it’s hard to leave them out of my destinations/campground postings.

Texas is saturated with great military RV Parks/CGs.

One year when departing our winter stay at Yuma with our traveling companions, we went in different directions. They to CA to attend a grand daughter’s graduation and us on a long Texas adventure along the Mexican border all the way to Harlingen.

Our first rest stop, for seven days, was at the Laughlin AFB at Del Rio, TX. They had 20 FHU sites, 10 long pull through sites with privacy fencing. The base is geographically smallish with all facilities - including the RV Park – centrally located. They also had RV parking sites available off base out on the banks of Lake Amistad but they are W/E only and quite isolated, strictly for fishing lovers.

Laughlin is a flight training base and the RV Park is across the street from the flight lines so it could get noisy during daylight hours. However, the base has all the amenities larger bases provide including a 9 hole golf course, bowling alley, movie theatre, commissary and PX.

The pictures include some taken at the AFB CG on Lake Amistad where they also had cabins for rent.
