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

In touring TX we want to visit the Alamo and the Riverwalk in San Antonio.

Since we do not pull a Toad with us we go everywhere with our 24' Class C. Looks like these tourist spots are in the center of the city. Typically, we try to avoid these areas.

Anyone have experience with parking a Class C in these areas? Any suggestions?

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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

    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
