    Bar M RV Park

    Great stop

    We stayed here for two days. Gated community with coin laundromat that is open 24/7. Full showers and bathrooms, full hook ups, and a little RV parts store in the office. There is a pool, playground, and dog park on site. Management is very kind and helpful.

    Cranes Mill Park

    Beautiful COE Campground

    We spent two nights here and with our America the beautiful pass was only $35. Spaces are nicely far apart from each other and pavement pads and level. Bathhouse was clean and had good hot water. Dump station was able to utilize both coming and going into the park. Pretty view overlooking the lake. Excellent Verizon coverage as well.

    Fort Sam Houston Army RV

    Great campground

    We were here for two weeks visiting our son and daughter in law. It was a great place to base camp while we explored and visited. Concrete pads, level, full hookups, spacious sites. Picnic tables and grills on each site also. The laundry was small but very clean and nice. Bath house was clean also even if a bit older. Lots of trees and shade in areas. A small dog park for off leash was available. Office was available and very nice staff. Lots of grassy areas to walk our dog. We truly enjoyed our stay here!

    This RV park is located in n West San Antonio not in Von Ormy.

     It's near SeaWorld SA. on Marbach road, a new RV park.

    Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds

    Excellent State Park

    I have camped in this park three times already and it never disappoints me. Good hiking trails, very friendly staff, interesting views and points of interest, fishing spots etc…

    I really enjoy camping specifically in the Wagon Ford area. Beware of the animal activity, specially at night. Armadillos and raccoons are everywhere and they get a little bit noisy at night.

    This time I camped in the site number 88. And it didn’t have enough natural shade, however if you were to spend a couple days camping I would recommend site 89 or 86 for a good natural shade.

    I really like this park. Hopefully I’ll be there soon.


Guide to Von Ormy

Camping spots near Von Ormy, Texas sit within a subtropical climate region where summer temperatures often exceed 95°F with humidity levels above 70%. The area is characterized by mostly flat terrain around 600 feet above sea level, with the Medina River providing water access for recreation at several campgrounds. Most camping facilities remain accessible year-round due to mild winters, though flash flooding can occur during spring and fall rainy seasons.

What to do

Fishing the Medina River: Access points available at Alamo River RV Ranch Resort & Campground where the river provides good fishing opportunities. One visitor noted, "We loved walking the trails and seeing deer and other wildlife. The staff is very helpful and friendly."

Dinosaur tracks exploration: Take a day trip to Government Canyon State Natural Area approximately 25 miles north of Von Ormy. "There are some dino tracks in the creekbed to check out in the backcountry along with an old stone house. Trails are extensive and rocky. Good views," according to one camper.

Cycling along riverfronts: The San Antonio Mission Trail connects to several campgrounds and provides miles of paved paths. "Awesome place to see the sights in and around San Antonio. Short drive to the Missions and the River walk. Can't believe there is a campground so convenient to everything," reports a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort.

What campers like

Well-maintained shower facilities: Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort receives consistent praise for clean amenities. "Biggest, cleanest, nicest laundry room I've encountered. Pool is good, grounds well maintained," according to one reviewer.

Wildlife viewing: Early mornings and evenings offer opportunities to spot deer and other wildlife. A camper at Castroville Regional Park reported, "There were wildlife sounds all night long, i.e. coyotes yipping and owls hooting. The park is clean and well used during the day, but the whole place got quiet at 7 pm."

River swimming access: The Medina River provides cooling relief during hot summer months. "The Medina River and nearby waterways are at their finest. Beautiful trails and deep swimming holes. Everything young kids love," noted a visitor to Castroville Regional Park.

What you should know

Security considerations: Some campgrounds have implemented security measures due to reported thefts. At Travelers World RV Resort, a camper warned, "This park is in a bad part of town. When we pulled into our site the lady next door told us to make sure we lock up our bikes."

Weather impacts on trail access: Rain can cause trail closures at some parks. A visitor to San Antonio Alamo KOA reported, "Unfortunately, it poured rain all night. The rain could have been the reason the internet was slow if everyone else was using it."

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance bookings, especially during peak seasons. Weekends fill quickly at popular locations, with some limiting daily visitor numbers. "Show up early on the weekend when it's nice out otherwise all of San Antonio will be lined up to get in," advised a Government Canyon State Natural Area visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Several camping areas near Von Ormy feature pools for kids. "The pool was smaller in size but very clean and well kept," noted a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort.

Playground availability: Mission City RV Park offers family-friendly features. "The park is gated and beautifully maintained. There is a heated pool, spacious pet area with benches and toys for your furry friends," according to one family's experience.

Educational opportunities: Some parks offer guided hikes and ranger programs. "The guided hikes are informative," mentioned a Government Canyon visitor, while another noted, "They often have ranger hikes leading from the center."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven sites at some campgrounds. A camper at Hidden Valley RV Park shared, "Site was level with functional utilities," but others at Castroville Regional Park reported, "Our site was deceptively unlevel, where our front wheels ended up an inch or so off of the ground."

Water pressure concerns: Bring pressure regulators for RV hookups. "High water pressure; you'll need a pressure regulator. They sell them at the office!" advised a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort.

Access road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging entry roads. "The road leading into the campground is a dirt rock road and very bumpy, dusty and has holes. It really needs to be paved," reported an RVer staying at Hidden Valley RV Park.
