We stayed in San Antonio two months ago, and made the Alamo part of our itinerary. We stayed at the San Antonio KOA which is one of the nicest KOA's I've ever visited. Literally right across the street from the entrance to the park is a bus stop that will take you right down town for less than $2 per person. The KOA office will give you a bus schedule, and we found that the busses were right on time.
The Alamo was kind of disappointing for us. There was some construction going on in the museum, and we couldn't get in. But since it's right down town, there is so much more to see in the area. Plan on spending some time in the Riverwalk area and maybe enjoy a boat tour and lunch.
By all means, make sure you take a little time and walk to the Buchhorn Bar and Texas Ranger museum. Have a cold beer and tour the museums. It's well worth it. Right across the street from the Alamo are some cheesy tourist museums. They are very pricey and not worth the time.
Here's a link to the San Antonio KOA.
