Places to Stay near San Antonio, TX

We are planning our annual spring (Feb - Mar) visit to Arizona and would like to spend a few days to check out San Antonio, TX. We have 35' Travel Trailer and usually like State Parks. I have looked and do not see any St. Parks or COE Campgrounds. Any suggestions of places to stay? Thanks for any info you may give.
  • My secret parking spot in SA that few seem to know about is next to the Mercado. Second floor has lots of open parking. Don't remember how much it was but cheaper than anywhere else. Has attendant. Exit your vehicle, down one set of steps and cross the street to the Mercado.
  • Another vote for Travelers World. Nice place, great location, nice people. great local TexMex restaurant across the street.
  • Travelers World. We stay there twice a year. Ride city bus to river walk, Tower of Americas, Alamo, Mexican Market. There is a Walmart close by. They have nice long pull thrus, and a good Mexican restaurant you can walk to across the street, and it is right on the San Antonio river where you can walk or bike ride. What more could you want!
  • And did I mention they have cable tv with bazillion stations, and a good internet signal. Nice people, a golf course right next to it, the park is on the Mission Trail also. If the like flowers you should visit tha San Antonio Botanical Gardens. That's not close.
  • We stayed at the KOA a month ago. Pretty nice park. We were there 2 years ago also. Plenty of cable TV stations. Internet access not so good though. Bus stop right across the street. Beats trying to park the truck downtown. May try Traveler's World next time though.
  • Travelers World is definitely the CLOSEST to downtown and we enjoyed it's convenience. But we prefer spots a little outside the city and found Hidden Valley RV Park last year, on the SW corner of San Antonio to have a quiet country atmosphere and very hospitable staff. Didn't use it but they have a private creek for fishing. Also has new and spacious bath houses and modern laundry. Several seasonal people there but a separate area for shorter term like ourselves. Liked both sections of the park though. They invited us to a weekly campfire and the RVers and staff were all there. It was a friendly spot and felt days from a city but only 15 minutes from downtown San Antonio, the Alamo and Riverwalk.
