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.
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.
TravelerEnjoyed parking by the river to roof camp. Not too crowded on a Thursday and we didn't see any tubers but it was a great day for it!
Scoutthe most beautiful river, weather, fireflies, birds chirping.
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.

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.

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.
