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.
ScoutYou want to see someone have a power trip? Look no further! The guy managing the place always has a problem with repair companies getting his residents fixed. Always demanding crazy things just to appease him. He’s threatened to call the cops on for not“checking in” with him, when we checked in with his wife and he just wasn’t informed.
He calls me today and tells me we can no longer provide rv repair service there because of another power trip move. Stay far away. The guy managing the place is a complete joke and so rude to everyone that comes thru there.
I hope the owner realizes why he’s getting bad reviews. It’s because of bad management. His wife is an amazing woman. It’s Greg that’s the issue. For those wanting to stay here. Stay far away. Unless you like to be micro managed on everything you do.
ScoutWifi fast. Shades were awesome. Fair price
TravelerNice site at back of lot near walking path. Unfortunately lots of traffic noise even at back of lot due to an interstate nearby (not road in front). Did laundry- good facilities- need quarters. Decided to sit in lounge next door and read. Well a family came in with several children who were loud and running around- then they left the children there by themselves!!! (5, 6 years old) I finally had to use my teacher voice and tell them to quiet down and stop running around. This lounge should be labeled for adults- there are plenty of other spaces for children. My biggest disappointment was there was no hot water in the shower. KOA's are expensive ($100)- how can you not have hot water for the shower!!!! (and yes, I let it run for a long time).They also had nowhere that you could park your RV to take the bus into town (We were leaving that afternoon but with checkout so early we would not get back in time) so we had to drive the RV to the Alamo. There was absolutely NO RV parking downtown.
ScoutGorgeous place. No need to go anywhere, everything is here. Friendly service and resort owners. Plenty to do. No tipping at resort. Felt odd, but that was the policy. Centrally located to fast food and great sit down meals. We'll be back.
GuideI made my reservation a few weeks from travel and spoke with Gabriella on the phone to reserve. I decided to change to Tuesday and Wednesday instead of M. & Tu. and Gabriella made the change very quickly. The day we arrived, I texted with her to let her know our expected arrival time, and her husband Clemente was waiting for us at the CG. He let us pick our site and helped us get backed in, then shared some local info with us. We planned to visit the missions, and he gave us a map of the biking paths that was very helpful. We were given a key to use for the gate- the property is safe and secure. We enjoyed the picnic table for afternoon shade and walked around the gardens to admire the plants. Although the CG is close to 410, it’s mostly quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed watching some small planes fly overhead. We left the CG about 9 am and rode our bikes on the Riverwalk/Mission Trail all day- returning about 4:30. The trails/paths are very well maintained.
RangerAn excellent economic option for campers looking for something not too far from the city, but just far enough and under budget. There's usually only 4 sites taken at a time so there are a lot of options to choose from. Every year more improvements are made!
ScoutIt was our first time staying at an RV park, and this place exceeded our standards. Now we will probably compare it to other places we stay. Everything was very good, well-maintained, and in great condition. We used the laundry often, and everything worked. The staff is super helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend Tejas Valley RV Park if you want to stay in a nice, clean place.
TravelerGreat over night stay but very loud, on the highway. Staff very friendly, good price for just one night.
