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 & 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 & 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.
