    Mission City RV Park

    Cream of the Crop

    You don't get a much nicer RV park than this in a major city. It hits all of the marks: mass transit at your doorstep; pool, laundry, showers and a gift shop at the entrance; easy pull-through, level sites; picnic tables at each site; quaint southwestern style! This is a nice park for the overnight or the long stay, and it has easy access to major highways.

    Alamo City RV Park

    Convenient to explore San Antonio

    Easy way to see San Antonio with a bus stop right outside to take you to Riverwalk and other sites. Bus is safe, inexpensive and runs often. Park has many long term residents but well kept. Sites adequate. Some trees but they dropped pods everywhere.

    Stagged were very helpful and friendly, full of great information.Did not use amenities.

    Travelers World RV Resort

    Top notch RV resort.

    It is almost exactly what you’d expect and want. A pricey place to stay, but very close to downtown San Antonio with all the amenities and services you would expect to find and a high end RV resort. Laundry, a dog park, free WiFi, large paved roads and well spaced sites. Showers were in great shape and staff were incredibly friendly. If you have the cash and want to be close to downtown, this is the place!

    Great Park - Double Check the Passport America Discount!

    This is an excellent place to stay if you want to check out San Antonio as it is in town and there is a bus stop which the park gives you a schedule for. 

    This RV park has everything you want and then some. Laundry room was great with lots of machines. There is also a heated pool and hot tub, excellent clean showers, gym and yoga, mini golf, TV/activities room and small store in the office that has a few RV necessities like sewer parts and also some souvenirs. They also have bulk propane they can fill on board tanks. 

    The lady when checked us in was very nice. The place is expensive though! We had a back in spot with full hook ups $65/night. We came here because it was 1 mile to my friend’s house and were expecting a Passport America discount but they said they do not currently offer that discount. The expense was worth it for convenience of being so close to downtown San Antonio but we only stayed the one night. The park also offers cabins. Good cell reception ATT and Verizon.

    Choke Canyon Estate RV Park

    Decent for short term

    Ok for short stay or if you are a worker and not in the park a lot. Road nice is really loud even in the back of the park. Construction company behind is loud too. Laundry and rec room were nice. Several dogs run loose through the park. Be prepared to pick up poop so you don't step in it. Crawfish shrimp and crab stand on the weekend makes great food. Dog area isn't fenced so if your dog is a runner this won't hold them.

    Overall nice place by

    Campground is nice. Parking spots are level. Plenty of amenities. Showers and restrooms are very nice. Park seems well-maintained. We had some heavy rain prior to getting here and spots were flooded. Biggest issue I have is power connections on some of the sites we were in site 89 was on the opposite side therefore couldn’t run for 50 amp power had to run 30 amp. Check your site and make sure you have plenty of cord or that the power is on the correct side for your RV

    Mission City RV Park

    Central to San Antonio

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 3 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

    Solid option just a 10 minute drive to most of the best of San Antonio — the Pearl, The Alamo, Riverwalk and Brackenridge Park. The immediate area doesn’t have much to offer but it’s a very quick drive to anywhere you want to be.

    The park is a bit on the expensive side, but pretty consistent with the area and they offer some discounts including Good Sam. The grounds are pretty standard with paved roads and gravel sites. The gravel is packed nicely and the sites are mostly level. Some of the “higher end” sites are paved pads that you can specify when booking through their online form. There is no privacy between sites aside from a slight staggering of trailers which allowed for plenty of room On either side.

    Hookups are reliable and positioned well. The wifi is super inconsistent and weak, we were positioned very close to the office and could barely use the connection. They have a lovely heated pool and patio area plus communal grills in a bit of a clustered area. Laundry facilities accept quarters and credit cards. Security is excellent and everyone is given a unique code for the car gate.

    Customer service was exceedingly friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for a great running/biking path nearby, there is the Salado Creek Greenway with a trailhead just a mile away on Belgium Lane. We would definitely return for future stays in San Antonio!

    Choke Canyon State Park Campground

    Nice and quiet.

    We stopped for the night on the way into North Padre Island. It was a perfect stop after a long day of driving. The sites are large and well spaced. With 50 amp power and water at each site as well as a dump station at the entrance, it has all we need. And it was fun listening to an owl just after sunset.

    Travelers World RV Resort

    Great amenities!

    This park is a little nicer than ones we stay in, but we really enjoyed it. The park is right on the awesome bike path and we were able to park and not drive anywhere for the week-long stay. We biked downtown to check everything out and also biked to the missions. It’s awesome being so close to the bike path. The facilities are really nice too. They have a pool that we didn’t use but looked super popular as well as a gym that was great. The staff was really nice as well. Also, if you don’t want to bike– there is a bus stop right at the park that is really convenient.
