Bergheim Campground

My plans changed last minute and I was left scrambling to make new arrangements in the San Antonio area. All of the local state parks were all booked up, but this place looked close enough to where I needed to be and had some spots open.

I was the only tent camper at the time I stayed there. The tent camping area is pretty nice on the surface. It’s right on a quiet, shallow section of the Guadalupe River. Picnic tables are provided (I don’t remember any fire rings tbh, but I didn’t have a need for one during my stay). The area is nice and grassy. Most sites looked a bit unleveled, but I found one flat enough to pitch my tent.

There are trash bins provided in the camp area, but they do not have lids and the bin near my site in particular was pretty full, so the campground cats were constantly in it and flies and bees swarmed around it during the day.

There is an overpass for state road 3351 that runs above the camping area. At night, the traffic is sparse and quiet, but it obviously picks up during the day. I was not around much during the day, so this wasn’t an issue for me.

There are showers and toilets on the property. I did not use the showers and that was honestly a very conscious decision. The toilets are “bring your own toilet paper” from what I could tell. There is a sink, but no hand soap provided either.

You pass through the trailer park portion of the property to get to the camping area, which is fine, but it’s pretty junky looking and kinda dampens the “idyllic river bank campground” vibe, if that’s what you were hoping for.
