    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!

    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.
