What to do
Riverside biking trails: At Travelers World RV Resort, guests can access miles of paved paths along the San Antonio River.

The easy access to the river affords you miles and miles of bike and walking paths."

Urban fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer stocked fishing ponds within their boundaries. At Greenlake RV Resort, "The lake in the middle has catch and release. The fattest catfish I've ever seen. It will however, make you upset releasing since the fish are well fed."

Site orientation: At Canopy Luxury RV Resort, "Most sites had some degree of shade and a decent amount of privacy. The pool and shower facilities are very nice and clean. The 2 dog parks (split into 2 sections each for small and large...so 4 dog parks) really helped keep our dogs entertained."
