    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.

    Sienna Ridge RV Park is clean and peaceful

    Sienna Ridge RV Park in Texas offers a peaceful and convenient spot for travelers. I enjoyed the clean facilities, friendly management, and well‑kept grounds. The spacious sites made parking easy, and the quiet atmosphere provided restful nights after long drives. Perfect for short stays or extended visits.

    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!

Guide to Windcrest

Windcrest, Texas camping options benefit from the region's mild climate, with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing even in winter months. Most campgrounds in the area sit at elevations between 700-800 feet above sea level, providing moderate terrain suitable for year-round camping. Military campgrounds and family-oriented RV parks dominate the camping landscape within 15 miles of Windcrest.

What to do

River activities: 4 miles from San Antonio: The Guadalupe River offers swimming and fishing opportunities. "A great place to take a quick swim and get out of the Texas heat. Be sure to bring your dog! Awesome views and friendly people," notes a visitor to Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds.

Downtown transportation: 10-15 minute ride: Several campgrounds provide direct bus routes to San Antonio attractions. "There is a bus you could take to downtown and the River Walk. It was a very nice campground and we really liked it. I loved being able to take the bus to the Alamo and Riverwalk and not have to drive," shares a camper at San Antonio Alamo KOA.

Trail access: adjacent to camps: Greenbelt trails connect several parks to longer walking and cycling routes. "Hiking and biking path right along the property. Will definitely stay again," reports a visitor about San Antonio Alamo KOA.

What campers like

Security features: electronic gates: Many parks employ security systems with individual access codes. "The park is gated and beautifully maintained. Great location, very nice staff and tenants," notes a guest at Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort.

Centralized location: 30-45 minute drives: Most campgrounds provide access to major attractions within short drives. "We stayed here for a week during our trip to San Antonio and couldn't have been happier! The location was perfect for exploring the Riverwalk and Alamo," reports a visitor to Mission City RV Park.

Clean facilities: daily maintenance: Bathrooms and common areas receive frequent cleaning. "The bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The showers almost made us feel at home!" shares a Mission City RV Park camper.

What you should know

Train noise: periodic disruption: Several parks sit near active railroad tracks with occasional noise issues. "Park has RR near so trains are noisy but I didn't hear them at night. Post is a little confusing to navigate but it's $30/night and safe!" mentions a visitor to Fort Sam Houston Army RV.

Internet limitations: spotty service: Despite urban location, WiFi quality varies significantly between parks. "While the signal appeared strong, the service itself lagged and we stopped trying to use it. We would definitely come back, given the quality of the sites, the access to the trail and activities -- but for the price, I hope they improve their internet," notes a camper at San Antonio Alamo KOA.

Neighborhood considerations: urban setting: Some parks border industrial or less scenic areas. "When you first roll up I felt a bit skeptical. Surrounding area appeared to be rough, bars on windows, homeless foot traffic seemed high. Once you get inside the park it changed. Very well kept up park," reports a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: heated options: Several parks maintain swimming pools available year-round. "They have a heated pool, spacious pet area with benches and toys for your furry friends," notes a Mission City RV Park camper.

Playground access: multiple locations: Parks cater to families with dedicated play areas. "Super nice people and place. Started raining hard as we were checking in (tents), so we waited in the TV room, watched the news and ordered a pizza. Bath houses air conditioned. They have a large playground for the little ones to play," shares a visitor to San Antonio Alamo KOA.

Kid-friendly activities: on-site rentals: Some parks offer bicycle and scooter rentals for children. "We got into the KOA of San Antonio and it was very nice. Mainly catered to families as there were a ton of things for kids, bikes and scooters to rent. Swimming Pool, a few playground etc," reports a San Antonio Alamo KOA guest.

Tips from RVers

Site types: pull-through availability: Many parks offer easy-access sites for larger vehicles. "All the sites are pull through, have full hook ups (30 and 50) and are big enough to park the largest of rigs. Grass was all mowed and park was clean," notes a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort.

Laundry facilities: modern equipment: Several parks provide updated washers and dryers. "Biggest, cleanest, nicest laundry room I've encountered. Pool is good, grounds well maintained. Easy in/out with 38 ft class A," shares a Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort camper.

Water pressure considerations: regulators needed: Some parks have unusually high water pressure requiring equipment. "High water pressure; you'll need a pressure regulator. They sell them at the office!" advises a Travelers World RV Resort visitor.
