GuideAn oasis within San Antonio. Secure, safe, clean, spacious, extremely friendly staff. Best KOA we’ve ever stayed at. Nearby walking trail access. Pool is heavenly, especially during the hot summer TX days. City bus access right outside the KOA gate; felt safe riding the bus ~20 minutes to the Riverwalk downtown. Store has good stock is snacks and supplies. Pizza/wings for purchase every day from 4-8pm.
ScoutI recently visited this campground on July 3rd and when I got to the gate to discuss accessing the campground to meet up with a cousin who had reserved a spot I was greeted by a old Caucasian man who came off a little rude. I asked if they provide a military discount since I am in fact a disabled veteran and his response was no. Then I asked if I can just pay for a daily pass since I was only going to be there that evening and half the day the next day being the 4th of July and his response was no I can only purchase a 3 day pass at$12 per adult. Well I ended having to pay$99.62 to gain access to this campground and if you do the math 2 adults at$12 a person for 3 days does not equal$99.62. This place is a scam and take advantage of disabled military veterans! I would give this place a negative number of stars if there was that option!
ScoutBend oats has the best tree coverage of any other campground we have been too. Only on problem is that some sites have low hanging tree branches and not very many 50 amp hook ups. Other than that, beautiful place.
GuideWow this was one thing f the most beautiful places I’ve been. We walked the trails. We watched the sun come up on devils back bone and it was amazing
GuideWe stayed over night in one of there electric and water camp sites. Great walking trails down to the water. Bath house was nice and clean. We enjoyed our night there and we regret not staying longer.
ScoutCome we’ll get you signed in and help get you hooked up. They switched me 3 times. The shire had problems , then I thought it was me, Ty hey moved me again. I needed help to get car off trailer “ no problem” , “ I gave no time sorry “ leave me on a can’t do this by myself, I need help. We can’t. Tomorrow morning I’ll have my ex-officer husband help first thing. No power for the night. Food gone bad. No husband came ever to help. Mechanic $200. For a shore power was tripping. Not my fault. Still paid it. Oh my god. If you didn’t follow . Think how I felt
RangerWe didnt experience the campsites as this was a stop on the 6 hour route trip back to East Texas.
We did roam the grounds and check it out. Campsites and Tolietries looked upkept. Standard sites for State Parks. Had a more urban vibe to it but thats likely it was near the city of austin.
When we went to night explore b4 leaving there were two sets of couples leaving. One in a austin vibe van ;).
We ended up having the location all to ourselves and got some cool clips for the brief stop.
GuideNice camping spot. No showers. One restroom in laundry. Hookups are good. Have to pay for decent wifi plan.
