Places to Stay near San Antonio, TX

We enjoyed Cranes Mill COE park on Canyon Lake near New Braunfels. We did not do a day trip to San Antonio or Austin from there so I'm not sure how long it would take to get to either of those cities. I posted about our stay at Cranes Mill atExploring the Texas Hill Country around Canyon Lake

Yeah, that's over an hour drive and we would like to be closer than that, but thanks for the option.

We enjoyed Travelers World RV Park in San Antonio because it's right on the bike path and the bus stop to go downtown is right across the street. We did both! Here's a blog post on our two days in San Antonio ... there's a link to Traveler's World RV Park.

Two Days in San Antonio

Since we live in SA, we have only stayed in one local part--Alamo Fiesta in Boerne where we do our annual checkout before departing. I play golf near Travelers World and it looks busy with lots of RVs and its location would keep you out of daily traffic on the interstates and other roads. If you do choose a park outside of SA, the morning and evening commuter traffic can be heavy. Also parking in downtown SA for the Alamo, Riverwalk, etc. can be pricy. Hope you will visit and enjoy SA in the Winter!

Castroville Regional Park might work. About 30 minutes from San Antonio. Castroville Regional Park
816 Alsace Street, on the Medina River

Another spot to consider is the KOA off Gembler Rd. We stayed here several years ago, and it worked well for us. Easy 10 minute bus rude to downtown, and it sits on the Salado Creek Greenway.

I'm generally not a big fan of KOAs, but this one worked well for our needs.

We have also stayed at Traveler's World and would again. Not a state or COE park, but a good place for touring SA. Located on a street that runs directly downtown, about 2 miles, with good parking within 1-2 blocks of the Riverwalk. And then also close to the Alamo, Mercado, and other downtown destinations. Or there is a bus stop directly in front of the park if you prefer not to drive there.

Also located near some of the missions on the mission trail.

And a Walmart is only a few blocks away. :B

We have always stayed at the military campgrounds when spending time in SA, great places to stay over if you have access.

It is not fancy nor rustic, but we really enjoyed our two day stay at Braunig Lake RV resort. They honor Passport America discounts. The staff was friendly and helpful. Park was super clean. It is located off of I-37, a couple of miles south of I-410.

X2 - stayed there in May...there are some peaceful campsites very close to that greenway, which was ideal for walking the dog. We used the bus - easy way right into heart of town.
