Military families and RV travelers find a well-maintained base at Fort Sam Houston Army RV, located on the grounds of the historic military installation in San Antonio. The campground sits away from the main base traffic, accessible through specific gate directions that staff provides during reservation calls.
All sites feature pull-through access with full hookups including both 30 and 50-amp electrical service, accommodating large rigs on level concrete pads. Trees positioned between sites provide natural barriers and shade coverage, though campers note additional shade would enhance comfort during San Antonio's intense summer heat. The facility includes two bathhouses with laundry facilities, a small dog park for off-leash exercise, and a playground area. Propane sales are available on-site.
Long-term residents occupy many sites, creating a settled community atmosphere while leaving spaces available for short-term visitors. Brenda L. found "concrete pads, level, full hookups, spacious sites" with "picnic tables and grills on each site also." Occasional train noise from nearby railroad tracks occurs during daytime hours but typically doesn't disturb nighttime rest with air conditioning running.
Campers seeking additional options can explore places to camp around Windcrest, or consider nearby alternatives like Alamo City RV Park for different amenities and settings.
