We were not sure about Alamo Lake but decided to try it anyway, regardless of the long drive to get to it. We then found it to be quite barren, which we should have expected for being way out in the middle of the desert and in the middle of nowhere. Most of the campers here seem to have either boats or ATV's or both. Alamo Lake is basically a fishing lake, which you figure out right away based on the prominent fish cleaning stations at the center of each campground loop.
There's the lake from our camp site, way off at the base of the hills and if you look you can see a number of people camped near the lake, but the lakeshore campsites are primitive and the people there are dry camping. We elected to stay in this section, far from the lake but having at least electricity and water.
The wild burrows had left their droppings throughout the campground, though mostly on the edges and we were hoping they might come around while we were here as we had been hoping to see them -- however the closest we came was that I heard one of them off in distance calling (or whatever it was doing) in the middle of the night.
