Class C. Parking in San Antonio for Alamo and Riverwalk?

Uh, - those are in San Antonio - not Austin.

There was a thread which mentioned parking a Class C for that area a couple weeks ago - I'll try to find it.

Edit - look at this thread Clicky

They just go overboard with the "park RV and walk a little further" concept! :) :) :)

Being a native Texan/Austinite, I'm confused at the question, so I'll give multiple answers:

1: The things Alamo in Austin were the Alamo hotel, which has long since been turned into a bank building in the mid 1990s, and the Alamo Drafthouse chain. There are some areas near Town Lake in Austin (err, Lady Bird Lake), but I don't think that is what one is looking for.

2: If you want to park in Austin and drive to SA, I'd recommend a rental car place. One could get a Car2Go SMART car and pay the ~90 bones for a day's use, but those little things ride like boneshakers on I-35.

3: If you want to drive your motorhome to SA and have a look around at Hemifair plaza, I think the above mentioned post is a very good guide.

You might want to consider staying at the San Antonio KOA and riding the Bus to the Riverwalk. It stops right in front of the KOA.

First,, your going to need more than a few hours to tour the San Antonio area. I would suggest you plan on 2-3 days. Camp at the KOA in SA or Alamo Fiesta RV in Boerne, Tx. At KOA, you can board the SA bus system and for $2-3 can ride all over town,, get on and off,, I think there are 3 different routes, and you can do'em all,, and the drivers tell you what they are coming up on.. visit the Alamo, the Missions, the Market Square.. The River Walk. If you should camp at Alamo Fiesta,, it's only 20-30 minute drive to downtown SA.. park in parking garage and use the bus system. When you have had enough of San Antonio,,(hard to do) you could tour the hill country area. Kerrville, Fredericksburgh both have lots of things to see and places to eat. I would suggest you spend a week in the area and at Alamo Fiesta RV as a center location.

thanks,,, I mispoke.. meant San Antonio..... my bad!!!!

John S.: Downtown San Antonio is very crowded like most large cities. Trying to locate a space to park the class-C will be difficult. You are better off staying at a campground which has a shuttle service or a city bus stopping at the campground. Just have to call RV parks until you find this service. In regards to visiting the Riverwalk and the Alamo, they are within a few city blocks of each location. You can walk to most of the interesting places in the downtown area. I recommend you contact the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce for a visitors packet. They publish an excellent tourism book and it is free. You can see most of the tourist sites in one active day. Enjoy!

I agree there. There is a lot to see in the SA area. After the Alamo, the zoo is a very good one. Sea World is open on weekends, AFAIK, Fiesta Texas is as well. Up 281 then 290 is Fredricksberg (note, the F-Berg area has a no-overnight policy, but there is a Jellystone winery that is pretty nice, as well as your usual KOAs and RV parks.)

Going west on I-10 lands you in Greune, another classic German town.

I love the Riverwalk but have always flown and stayed in a hotel on the Riverwalk - have fun~

Agree that the Alamo is in the heart of San Antonio, about 500 ft. off the sidewalk along a busy street. The parking lot was across the street but it was full. No place for a 'C' pulling a toad.
So I saw it when I drove by. It looked a lot smaller than when Davy Crockett was standing on the wall in the Disney Classic. Next time thru, I'll overnight at an RV park, and see if I can hook up with a tour.
