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.
ScoutI recently visited this campground on July 3rd and when I got to the gate to discuss accessing the campground to meet up with a cousin who had reserved a spot I was greeted by a old Caucasian man who came off a little rude. I asked if they provide a military discount since I am in fact a disabled veteran and his response was no. Then I asked if I can just pay for a daily pass since I was only going to be there that evening and half the day the next day being the 4th of July and his response was no I can only purchase a 3 day pass at$12 per adult. Well I ended having to pay$99.62 to gain access to this campground and if you do the math 2 adults at$12 a person for 3 days does not equal$99.62. This place is a scam and take advantage of disabled military veterans! I would give this place a negative number of stars if there was that option!
ScoutWifi fast. Shades were awesome. Fair price
GuideWe stayed over night in one of there electric and water camp sites. Great walking trails down to the water. Bath house was nice and clean. We enjoyed our night there and we regret not staying longer.
ScoutCome we’ll get you signed in and help get you hooked up. They switched me 3 times. The shire had problems , then I thought it was me, Ty hey moved me again. I needed help to get car off trailer “ no problem” , “ I gave no time sorry “ leave me on a can’t do this by myself, I need help. We can’t. Tomorrow morning I’ll have my ex-officer husband help first thing. No power for the night. Food gone bad. No husband came ever to help. Mechanic $200. For a shore power was tripping. Not my fault. Still paid it. Oh my god. If you didn’t follow . Think how I felt
RangerWasn't impressed with this campground after pulling in my 32' RV. There's nowhere to park with my F-250 super duty. I went to take a shower. There was only one shower the other one was broken and it didn't have any hot water. A sign on the door said no hot water. Had to take a freezing cold one. Come on Texas. You can't afford a plumber and a hot water heater?
ScoutI've camped there twice in the spring of 2026 and enjoyed my stay. Both times camped in the primitive sites which are located in the back along a single lane dirt road / trail. You can get a car to each site, but it can be narrow at spots. The sites only have a fire ring and a kinda level spot to pitch a tent. No water or electric and the Wi-Fi does not reach to this part of the property. AT&T cell coverage is also very weak in this area. Everything works great if you walk up to the community area. The kitchen area is great, the 4 shower rooms are clean with hot water and is your private bath when you use it. I tent camped off my motorcycle and the other time was rainy so I car camped out of my 4Runner. A short walk to the front of the property got me Wi-Fi, cellular, kitchen, bathroom, and chairs to hang out in. The sites at the front are much more expensive, so I enjoyed the lower priced primitive sites.
ScoutI have been here for seven months. Hookups and gravel site was good. Could use more weed and ant control. The amenities are great. Pool, hot tub, community area were all new and well maintained. Showers were awesome. Large private showers with plenty of hooks and place to sit. Sink and plenty of counter space. Always clean stocked. Thank you Elaine. Entire staff was attentive and engaging. Corrie, Daniel and everyone were great. Thank you. The hot tub was often used by inconsiderate families that turned it into a kiddie pool. It needs to be better managed.
