The Best Camping Near Windcrest, Texas

Loved this friendly KOA. Gorgeous pool, nice sites, electricity available with a stand for electronics and our friend even brought a Keurig! Clean bathrooms and grounds. Would definitely stay again!

Electricity at tent sites!

This is one of the nicest KOAs I’ve stopped at. Everyone was friendly at check in, the place is clean, and it isn’t all rock like many KOAs. They have several bathroom/shower buildings scattered around, and some have large “family shower rooms “ which is nice.
There is even regular bus service from right in front downtown to the Alamo and Riverwalk.
Be sure to visit the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park. Beautiful churches scattered along an easy drive.

Very nice for KOA

Great park with gated entry, pool, clean bathrooms, great dog area, and pizza delivered in a golf cart. The thing that makes this park so amazing is the staff. They are professional and helpful.

Amazing!

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. Looked like they had put a lot of money into it recently and it was a perfect location. There was even 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 Almo and Riverwalk and not have to drive. They are working to add things to this KOA and update it.

Great Family Campground

What a lovely stay! The facilities were all very clean and updated. The stocked fish pond was beautiful and the dog park was also nice. There were always some friendly pups there when we took our dogs. There's a greenbelt walk right next to the site we were at as well. Bikes to rent, friendly staff, happy campers all over, what more can you ask?

Clean and Fun Stay, Our Dogs Loved It!

Easy check in and very easy guide around the park. They had great activity for adults and kids to enjoy. We didn’t have a chance to enjoy all of them, because of the rain, but we did what we could. Park and restrooms are extremely clean. They have multiple parks in different states which I know for sure will be a great stay as well. 

Our stay at the KOA

I know not everyone loves the tent pitching experience so 2 days later ,before heading home, I decided to book a basic cabin to see how it is inside and out. I have to say that it’s a lot of fun for all of us . We didn’t want the kitchen or restroom, still keeping it outdoors kinda, but the restrooms are about a minute or 2 walk,and they have a barbque pit. We just fired up some wood and made some fried bologna sandwiches. 😂 Pool was also open so the kids and wife had a blast!

Another night at KOA

The campground was great . Greenway was beautiful !! Office staff great. If u drive down town don’t leave anything in your car. We left our ford 350 in a lot near the Alamo thieves broke in the truck and stole our Garmin and tireminder display . Busted open the safe . Don’t leave a gun in your car. Police said 5 Ford trucks were broken in that day. There are some Homeless people around the parking lot and in the river walk so we wanted to have access to our car. MAybe Uber in to Alamo and river walk better idea. Not a lot of people around the city so parking is wide open . 

Truck break in downtown near Alamo 

As far as KOA's go (being hit or miss), this one is a hit!  Clean KOA, good place to walk around. Outdoor pool, playground, access to trail. 

The only real downside we had was the amount of noise from the surrounding area. LOTS of bass and loud music in middle of the night. 

Not too bad

We stopped here for one night and the facilities are amazing. The park is huge with every kind of site you might want. Everything was clean and each site had some pretty great fire pits. Unfortunately, it poured rain all night. The rain could have been the reason the internet was slow if everyone else was using it. 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.

Great facilities, poor internet

We traveled and lived in an RV for a year. We been to a lot of KOA’s. This is by far one of the best. Like I said we are RTT’n and figure to get a normal tent spot. Nope we got a back in RV spot and when we checked in they gave us a dinner menu which was pizzas to order and a breakfast menu. These meals are an additional cost but great to have offered. They have an 8 mile bike/run trail, a fishing river, and pond. The showers and bathrooms were amazingly clean. They area looks very good and comfortable. We ordered the pizza and they delivered right to our site. We will definitely come back to this one for a longer period of time. 

RTT across the country

We stopped here on our way back because we liked it. This time it seemed the weekend crew did not have the same courtesy the weekday crew does. We wanted a cabin because of how cold. We stayed and seemed to be the only in the cabins, but throughout the night cars came in and people hid in the cabin parking areas. Worked for us but was not impressed this time. 

Second time

I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. 
Ratings for this category are based on:
Value to cost: 5
Overall grounds: 5
Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4
Local Attraction Proximity: 5
Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5
Amenities: 5
Customer Service: 5
Cleanliness: 5

These grounds are massive and beautifully kept. The spacious grounds allow for wider spaces and plenty of room between larger RVs. There are smaller RV spaces, several levels of cabin rentals and tent spaces on the outer edges of the grounds with many different options for hookups available. The park is easily navigable with paved roads and packed gravel spaces. Our space was slightly uneven and did not have the small brick patio of our neighbors, but this was inconsequential to us. 

As a KoA Holiday, the amenities are appealing with nice patio spaces, a pool, a stocked catch &amp; release pond, a massive clubhouse with a cafe and lots to explore nearby. The front office has a pretty large marketplace as well as a small pizza/wing counter. The wifi is very decent with hubs scattered across the park, making working from a computer very easy and streaming mostly reliable. They also offer ice for sale, propane AND they have recycling bins near the garbage dumpsters (swoon). We came during one of the coldest winter weather storms in Texas history, so use of the amenities was limited and they had to shut off the water during our stay, but this is not a fault of theirs and they were highly communicative during this time. 

The grounds are just 5 miles from the center of San Antonio including the Alamo and Riverwalk. Also, there's a beautiful &amp; long walking and biking trail connected to the grounds, along Salado Creek. The whole park is secure and clean with good security at the front of the park and a code needed to enter the grounds after hours. Upon arrival, the gate will automatically open. 

The nearby roadways can get a bit noisy, depending on your space, but many of the sites are set back away from the street, so tractor trailer noise is typically at a minimum. 

Bring your bike or rent one from the KoA office to explore the area with all the bike trails nearby, including the trails through all the Historic Missions. 

Beautiful grounds close to Downtown SA

We called an audible on our trip and spent a couple nights here that we weren’t originally planning on. We were able to get reservations on a day notice, and got a great spot across from the playground (our kids loved) with full hookups. They’ve got a nice little pool, pretty big playground and a fishing hole that is stocked. In a first for us, they had a pizza shop on sight and it was a pretty good pizza. We’re about 10 minutes from the Alamo and we’re able to get there in no time for our reservations there. Other families are here for longer than us, so if you need a stop over for a couple nights or a week long trip, this is a solid pick. 

Very nice and close to the Alamo/river walk 

One of our best stays. We went for Rodeo and livestock shows and was packed. We received a warm welcome and great service. For sure we will stay again and recomend

Complete Campground!

This is a full service campground. 
Pool, TV room, breakfast bar, laundry ... etc.
Bike trail runs right by campground.
Very well maintained and close to downtown. A little pricey for tent camping but worth it.

Nice well maintained campground 

Very clean bathrooms. Pool kinda meh, but still pool. WiFi is in the tent. The office got everything you need, including ocean potion.

Addendum…
No mosquitoes, very nice

It good

Very peaceful, nice park, also including with catch and release fishing! I would definitely come back several more times.

Excellent place to stay a few nights away from the house.

Dan Antonio koa 

They have a pool, pond for catch and release fishing, bikes to rent to ride on the near by trail, on site pizza available and a breakfast cafe. They were named KOA of the year in 2015 and we see why. They did mention that there have been some recent bike thefts, so be sure to lock up your belongings at night. 

2015’s KOA of the year 

Originally planned to stay here 4 nights. Ended up adding 3 more nights because we enjoyed it so much. 
Great facility, very nice employees, close to downtown. 

This place is fantastic

Very convenient to attend the rodeo and Alamo. Used the shuttle and public bus. Saved a lot in parking fees (none) and convenience.

Rodeo and Alamo

Nice KOA on a creek next to the greenbelt, perfect for a beautiful walk. Close enough to downtown for a fun trip to Riverwalk. Very nice staff, dog friendly, clean, level decent size sites with fire pit and picnic tables. 

Nice KOA

Clean well managed campground. Sites are level and stone site with grass.
Bus stop just out front that can have you downtown to the Riverwalk and the Alamo in 15-20 minutes for seniors $1.35 round trip or $2.70 regular fare.



KOA Alamo 

We came in here after a long day of travel and we’re able to snag a site without a reservation. It’s a koa, so not much privacy to be expected but there was a decent amount of trees and well kept facilities. Would recommend if you’re looking for a place in town!

Great for a spot near the city 

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. We were initially assigned T-6, but there was a low, overhead power line and we had a roof top tent. When I went to the office, they were very understanding, and put us in T-1. Very helpful with bus information. We were there to tour the Alamo. I would definitely stay there again.

Taj Mahal of KOAs

This is a large KOA with all the amenities and level sites. The heated pool is warm enough for this Minnesota boy to use in January. The patio grille makes serves good burgers. 

A fine KOA

This is a well maintained camp ground.  Employees are out keeping everything in order and staff has been super helpful.  Definitely a pleasant stress free stay

Great stay

Great well maintained and friendly staff. The only drawback is the traffic noise. Not bad but if you are sensitive to noise be forewarned 

Beautiful 

They have lots of people working here and it was well kept. Tons of shade trees, hiking and biking path right along the property. Will definitely stay again 

Excellent park 

Stopped here a second time, 7 years after our first visit.
Still a nice spot for exploring The Alamo, San Antonio Missions, Riverwalk, and more.
Bus stop right in front to get to main attractions.
Several nice bathrooms/shower buildings. 
Great walking trail for pets

Still nice 7 years later 

We loved our 2 night stay here!Campground was immaculate &amp; half full when we arrived in November.  We had a site with a large cement pad, a very clean bbq grill, fire pit, round picnic table/chairs &amp; a sliding comfortable patio chair for two!  We especially loved the guest area where you could order food and relax with the other guests or take the food back to your campsite.  Would love to come back &amp; stay even longer!

Really Nice Place!

Staff is amazing and friendly.  The camp and restrooms/showers were clean and and well lit.  Plenty of tent sites as well very close to the bathrooms.
