Hiking and Biking
With over three miles of trails, Helton Nature Park is a great place to exercise without having to worry about vehicle traffic. The trails are natural surfaces, so proper footwear is suggested. Bicycles with wide tires, like BMX and mountain bikes, are recommended. Road bikes are discouraged due to rough, natural terrain.
Paddling
Historically, Helton Nature Park was the final takeout point on the SASPAMCO paddling trail. Recently, the paddling trail has been extended and now continues south to Floresville River Park with take-out points at County Road 117 (nine miles downstream of Helton Nature Park) and US 97 (eight miles downstream of County Road 117 and 17 miles from Helton Nature Park). This extension makes Helton Nature Park a perfect picnic lunch destination in the middle of a paddling journey or a nice starting point on a paddling journey to Floresville. SASPAMCO Paddling Trail.
Parties and Events
Some of the newest amenities added to the park are up and away from the river, including a basketball court, playground, restroom, and a 5,000 square foot pavilion. The basketball court and pavilion are available for reservations up to one year in advance.
Discovery Information
Intriguing geologic features, tall shady trees, and peacefully flowing waters make the SASPAMCO Paddling Trail a paddling adventure that is unmatched in the San Antonio area. This trail has a wild feel as it courses a little over 29 miles through parts of Bexar and Wilson Counties, yet it is connected to rural parks to access amenities such as picnic tables, restrooms, and parking. The flow rate can vary, so it is a good idea to check out flow conditions before heading out to the paddling trail. If you time your excursion just right, you might happen upon a community event at John William Helton Nature Park when you conclude your paddling trip.
$10 / night

The stream is beautiful. But are there any crocodiles here? Fnaf 1
I have been here before. It is an ideal tourist destination. My family loves it here. Head Soccer
This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities. Our side of the park was along the river and had great shade. The other side had no trees and seemed to be more full-time folks. Facilities are a little dated but clean. There are tons of full-time folks, and I can see why. The river is right there. Great river access and space to sit and watch the tubers go by. Very few bells and whistles. Some folks said it was much more community oriented before the new managers took over. They used to do movies and food trucks, and things just looked better. But it was nice. It was expensive for what it was, but again... the river access made it great.
They have showers and wash machines.. Volkswagen bugs at the entrance (the beatles)

I passed off about 75 feet between sites. Most have views of the lake. At the moment the water level is very low and facilities near this campground are high and dry.
Beautiful scenery and easy access to the river. Roads are very rough though so make sure you have a high clearance vehicle.
Stayed here as part of my son’s birthday, and had a great time. Stunned at all the activities and the people were all super helpful. Can’t wait to come back!
Texas State Park with 37 sites. Nestled in a wooden river area with lush vegetation. Several hiking trails that are easy on the joints.
Stopped here a second time, 7 years after our first visit. Still a nice spot for exploring The Alamo, San Antonio Missions, Riverwalk, and more. Bus stop right in front to get to main attractions. Several nice bathrooms/shower buildings. Great walking trail for pets
We been camping years at second crossing camp and will continue
I like off the beaten path places, this sure is one of them! The tent sites are very nice, close to the river & oxbow lake (kayaks for rent!). Very peaceful.
Stayed here in October and did cold plunges and it was so lovely! Beautiful hikes and sunsets!
This park is a great place to visit. Really nice trails. Great staff. Spots are really nice, but mostly very short. Our 28' trailer took up most of the space. But, I was able to fit my truck sideways at the end of the driveway.
They have lots of people working here and it was well kept. Tons of shade trees, hiking and biking path right along the property. Will definitely stay again
We stayed here for 2 weeks and don't regret it at all. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The surroundings are beautiful and quiet. The RV park also offers 2 well-maintained pools. A family and an adult pool. There are deer roaming around the entire area, which was a new experience for our dogs. A simple but functional dog park was therefore very convenient for us.
I went with a extremely rowdy group of individuals and it appeared that the attendants of camp Hueco are very patient people. They were very good at explaining what the expectations were for camping on the property and the expectations were for the others in the immediate area. Also please don't bring your mini bike!
Park is clean excellent place for the kids to play in the river. Lots of repeat visitors during our week here. During the week it’s very quiet. We will come back every year this week if we can.
Well maintained, clean showers
Starting with a startup at 22 years old, I have been successful in investing as well as trading in sonic exe games. I realize there are more people in need when playing this game.
We stayed here in the middle of June in site 20 & 21. It was hooooot but the pool was nice, and the river was cold. It was hard to tote all of our stuff down the to the river and back up when we were done, so we will likely go somewhere else for river time next time. My only desire is that they would make one of the three pools adult only.
Great well maintained and friendly staff. The only drawback is the traffic noise. Not bad but if you are sensitive to noise be forewarned
We stayed 5 nights visiting San Antonio. This is a beautiful park outside of the city on the river. 30 minutes to downtown. The owners are awesome people and there is a real pride of ownership shown in the upkeep around the park.
Pool, hot tub, fitness center, laundry, dog park, golf cart rentals, clubhouse, and much more!
This is a well maintained camp ground. Employees are out keeping everything in order and staff has been super helpful. Definitely a pleasant stress free stay
This was the perfect getaway for a last minute weekend trip. We arrived after dark, but Reza was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed as we set up at the tent site. We really appreciated the little extras: reclining chairs at the tent site and also at the fire pit, the flush toilet and the outdoor shower, a picnic table and firewood was also available. Both Dot and Reza were so pleasant and very accommodating to our needs. They were readily accessible without being intrusive. We definitely had our privacy but knew they were just a phone call away. We cannot wait to come back and reconnect with nature. The stars are abundant and the vibe is so amazing, we felt completely recharged. We're so happy we found this gem!!
