8 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Mission City RV Park's secured pet area features benches and toys for dogs, making it a standout choice for pet owners near Windcrest. The park maintains a gated facility with no breed restrictions, unlike some nearby options such as the KOA across the street. Travelers World RV Resort and Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort also accommodate pets with full hookup sites suitable for RVs, tents, and cabin stays. Fort Sam Houston Army RV Park offers pet-friendly grounds with a decent dog run at the back of the park, making extended stays comfortable for military personnel traveling with animals. ['The heated pool at Mission City provides a welcome amenity after a day of pet-friendly exploration in San Antonio.'] Most campgrounds require pets to remain on-leash when outside designated exercise areas, with clean facilities maintained throughout the grounds.
Pet exercise opportunities vary across facilities, with the Salado Creek Greenway trailhead located just a mile from Mission City RV Park providing excellent walking and running paths for dogs and their owners. Green Tree Village North Park permits pets but enforces restrictions on outdoor activities including bike riding and fires, factors to consider when planning extended stays with active dogs. The industrial surroundings of some parks create ambient noise, though campground interiors remain relatively quiet. Most RV parks feature level sites with adequate space for pet equipment, with some offering concrete pads alongside gravel options. Proximity to San Antonio attractions places campers within 10 minutes of the Riverwalk and Alamo, with convenient public transportation options available from select campgrounds for those who prefer not to drive with pets to downtown destinations.

GuideQuiet, yet close to San Antonio. It’s only a few miles of I35, but feels like you’re out in the country. Mostly longer term stayers (we’re here for a few months), but they do a very nice job of keeping the campground feel instead of the trailer park vibe. Nice dog area and walking also. Quite happy.
ScoutI stayed in an RV spot with my SUV camper. There are lots of trees and wildlife around. A herd of deer visited my camp in the early morning. There is some distant road noise but it is more of a white noise. The roosters in the distance at sunrise was cute! I didn't make the cave tour but hope to during a future visit. Staff was very friendly. Site 17 is off the beaten path from the others, recommend.
GuideClean clean clean. Gated park. Gravel and concrete pads. All level with full hookups. Some covered. Clean bathrooms/showers. Large clean laundry facilities. Campers shop. Pool. Everything kept in great condition. Pool temp is perfect! All roads are nicely paved. Lots are close. Definitely great for a night or long term. Highly recommend this park. Park management and personal are polite and professional. Dog wash station and dog walk. Trees scattered around the park offering shade to some sites. Cons: no WIFI/internet available for the complex, no control over the electric motorcycles that the young crowd buzz around the park even though the speed limit is 5mph it’s not observed or patrolled.
ScoutClean campground, laundry facilities available. Close enough to everything in San Antonio. Can’t beat the prices. Must be rated veteran to get on base.
ScoutNegatives
* campsite 20 is never dark being too close to the bright bathroom lights.
* if two people are showering at the same time you will have no toilet access until one of them is done
Disappointing
* Many people described this as a peaceful park. We had the great misfortune to be there at the same time two families were using the campground as a pseduo-backyard complete with lighting, a full sized propane grill, and hours of loud party music
Pros
* an easy drive from Austin
* so much lovely shade
* great for hammock camping (be sure to protect the lovely trees
Next time I might try camping deeper into the park and hope to find folks forest bathing rather than partying. I generally prefer a shorter walk to the bathrooms, but I moreso prefer to listen to the crickets and look at the stars.
GuideWell equipped and maintained rv park with pools, laundry facilities, dog park etc. Friendly and helpfull staff. And reasonable pricing
GuideCamp Landa has everything we needed and more. We loved the pool in the heat!
ScoutGreat campground with resort amenities
GuideMy husband has two years assigned and we set him up in a tiny home away from home. Michelle is an amazing manager and caring person. She doesn’t get pushed around and I respect that. She’s very sweet.
Debbie is as sweet as pie. She works in the office and is a tenant here. I think she’s a great person.
