    Government Canyon State Natural Area

    Amazing little area

    Awesome place to camp if you live in Ausitn or San Antonio. We camped at site 14 and it’s nice and shady and away from others. Alcohol is not allowed but no one checks your camp so don’t be rude and you can drink.

    Lots of great hikes. The Dino tracks are cool. There is a fire pit and a grate to grill on. Fire wood is 5 bucks for 5 logs there.

    Alamo River RV Ranch Resort & Campground

    Stay away!

    I usually don’t post reviews like this but I needed to for this place! The website is outdated and is false advertising, they don’t over everything listed on the site. we stayed here before it changed ownership. The cabins are not what they used to be, the website is not accurate. Over price cabins and now they look like they are from 1990 theme, so outdated looks like they got the furniture right out of the dumpsters. The new California owners don’t care about the park everything is broken, worn out, workers walks around smoking marijuana and walks up to you and the smell from the bearded guy is disgusting who lives in a shack there on site. They turned this once beautiful park into a dump hippie ground.

    Thousand Trails Medina Lake

    So far in our FT living this is one of our top 5 TT campground

    Well it isn't the newest campground around. As a matter of fact, it could stand a few upgrades. But they are minor and do not take away from the breathtaking views, wildlife abound and the overall peace and serenity with staying at this campground. We stated close to the water which btw is just water and electric. If you want full hookups you will need to be a short distance away from the lake. About a 1/8 of a mile. We were lucky to be there on two beautiful winter days in Texas, days were in the low 70's and nights around 40. Prefect as the picture taking. We will no doubt be back when passing through. Oh and btw, you will have to travel up and down the Hill country of Texas to get there. It in itself is a beautiful drive.

    Government Canyon State Natural Area

    Government Canyon State Natural Area + History + Dinosaur Tracks

    Government Canyon State Natural Area is conveniently located near San Antonio, TX. Many visitors visit from San Antonio for the day or for the weekend. The staff sometimes limit the amount of visitors during busy times, so it is best to arrive early - before 10am. The Info Center is nicely designed and they often host educational events. The main attraction of this campground is hiking through the forest, exploring above or below the canyon, seeing the old 1880’s period Zizelman House and locating a few of the notable dinosaur tracks. There are a number of walk-in campsites with well defined pad sites, campfire rings and a table. There are often burn bans in effect at this campground so come prepared with a gas stove.

    Thousand Trails Medina Lake

    Great park with large sites!

    Medina Lake Thousand Trails RV Park is an awesome campground with large sites and lot of nature! There are trees and shade and it is along Medina Lake shores. The lake was dried up during our stay, but it was still beautiful views all around. They have 30 & 50 amp hook-up sites. Not all have sewer connections, but there is a dump station on site. There are tent sites, also. There are lots of amenities such as a huge pool, playgrounds, dog runs, restrooms, laundry, trails, boat launch, community center, games, basketball, pickle ball, mini golf, and so much more! Fun for the whole family. This campground does have a lot of deer around. We really enjoyed this park and the smell of nature here.

    Government Canyon State Natural Area

    A great place to experience nature near the city

    Government Canyon is still a great place to visit and is often over looked by people who want to experience nature, but not drive too far to get to it.

    It is only open Friday-Monday with camping only Friday and Saturday night.

    The campsites are all walk in, but not a great distance. Camp sites vary in size, but all have fire rings, a place to hang trash, and a storage cupboard.

    There are water spigots at the top of each trail and two composting toilets.

    Because this is a State Natural Area, you may not connect anything to the trees in the park as you could A) damage the trees of B) bring in pests from other parks without knowing it.

    There are front country trails, back country trails and trails that are only open at certain times of the year.

    If there is too much rain, the park will close down all the trails as they don't want to ruin the area with people walking in mud.

    In the summer time, make sure you bring enough water with you. Rangers some times patrol the trails to help people, but you are on your own for the most part.

    The visitor center is very nice and modern. They often have ranger hikes leading from the center.

    Near by, they have a group shelter that can be rented for weddings or parties.

    All in all, it is a very enjoyable park to visit.
