San Antonio

I would plan all downtown outdoor activities for morning hours only. The river barge tour is definitely worth the money, but is pretty miserable after lunchtime. Even after sunset, the Riverwalk and downtown temps will be in the 90s. For historical interest, I recommend Mission San Jose and its welcome center (though I'd skip the film in the welcome center; it's pretty dopey), and take the Riverwalk to Main Plaza and step inside San Fernando Cathedral. Some of the original building has been uncovered in the chancel, and inside the left door as you face the altar is the sepulchre containing the remains of the Alamo heroes. The Menger Hotel is worth a walk-through as well. The hotel and bar hosted many notables. Teddy Roosevelt made it his HQ as he recruited and trained the Rough Riders, and there are ax marks where Carrie Nation took a few whacks at it (of course, the Menger bar is still here, but Carrie Nation isn't ;))

Thanks everyone.

We stayed at Admiralty RV resort. It was about 1 mile to Sea World. Also, a tour bus picked us up and returned us to the campground the day we took the Grand tour of San Antonio. We were pleased.

I like to stay at Traveler's World, when my interest is downtown. There is good access by public transportation.

However, for your outside the (1604) loop destinations like Sea World and Six Flags, it would be better to stay at Blazing Star, which is more resort-like and out where you want to be, west side of the loop road. Admiralty is another RV resort in that area.

We stayed at Blazing Star. Really nice and we did all that you are planning. Also, Bass Pro, the Alamo and the Buckhorn Saloon Museum.

Guadalupe River State Park is 30 amp only. By asking that question I suspect you already know August in San Antonio will be brutally hot...

Thanks, this looks like it would be perfect. Do you remember if they had 50 AMP hookups? Just checked their website and can't find it anywhere.

Try Alamo KOA...right on a bus route to downtown. $1.20 to ride the bus downtown,runs every 30 minutes.

We also stayed at Travelers World, a little ways south of downtown, and will again. Very convenient to downtown and the Riverwalk and Alamo. The street in front runs directly downtown and crosses the Riverwalk. Bus stop right in front, but we drove downtown several times and parking was never a problem, even right at the Riverwalk.
Sea World is at the west edge of town and Six Flags/Fiesta Texas is at the north/northwest edge of town.
