Traveler's World

115 RV Sites

Traveler's World in San Antonio, Texas, offers 115 full-hookup RV sites three miles from the Alamo and the River Walk, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 57 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. An oversized full-hookup back-in category joins standard back-in and pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, fitness center, mini-golf, and library. One hundred fifteen sites run in full hookup back-in, full hookup pull-through, and oversized full hookup back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 57 feet, with picnic tables. The oversized tier is worth requesting for a longer rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, game room, library, mini-golf, pickleball, shuffleboard, billiards, ping pong, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a lake, creek, playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Live music and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Three miles is about as close as an RV park gets to San Antonio's historic core, and it makes a real difference — the River Walk's restaurants, bars, and cultural programming, the Alamo, the Pearl District, and the Missions National Historical Park are all a short drive rather than a cross-town commute. The Mission Reach trail runs nearby along the river. Spring, Fiesta week, and the holiday River Walk lights drive the sharpest demand in San Antonio. Reserve well ahead for those, and ask about extended-stay rates.

Spring and summer drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

Tejas Valley RV Park

On Potranco Road on the far west side of San Antonio, Texas—ten minutes from SeaWorld San Antonio and La Cantera, twenty minutes from the Alamo and downtown, in the Hill Country approach corridor where the city's commercial sprawl gives way to cedar-covered limestone hills—Tejas Valley RV Park combines a quiet, tree-shaded natural setting with the full-service infrastructure of a properly equipped RV resort: 104 sites with 66 pull-throughs, a swimming pool, a 2,700-square-foot clubhouse, two dog parks, and the location that makes every major San Antonio attraction an easy morning drive. The park's balance of natural character—lots of trees, natural landscaping, bird activity—and resort infrastructure gives it a specific appeal in a city where campgrounds typically choose one dimension over the other. All 104 sites provide full hookups with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, with 66 pull-through and 38 back-in positions designed for optimal leveling across the full range of RV sizes. A swimming pool provides the San Antonio summer heat relief that south Texas temperatures make essential from May through September, and the 2,700-square-foot clubhouse—equipped with two kitchens—serves the event and gathering functions that a resort campground of this size needs for community programming and private reservations. A game room, camp store with RV supplies and propane, and two well-equipped laundry rooms handle the daily practical needs of the extended-stay and overnight populations simultaneously. Upgraded WiFi with sufficient bandwidth for demanding online activities serves the growing number of remote-working RV travelers that the Texas highway system increasingly accommodates, and two dedicated off-leash dog parks—described by management as the only acceptable areas for dogs to roam freely—give traveling pets the exercise space that multi-day San Antonio stays require. The campground's natural landscaping and mature tree canopy provide the most immediately pleasant aspect of a park visit—the birds drawn to the cedars and live oaks represent the south Texas wildlife diversity that becomes visible when a campground's tree cover is allowed to develop rather than cleared for maximum site density. The Hill Country limestone landscape visible to the west from the Potranco Road corridor represents the transition from the Texas Coastal Plain to the Edwards Plateau terrain where San Antonio's western suburbs give way to genuine Hill Country character within a twenty-minute drive. The Alamo—the most visited heritage site in Texas—is twenty minutes east and represents the Spanish colonial and Texas Revolution history that grounds the city's identity. The River Walk's thirteen miles of downtown waterfront dining, entertainment, and the cultural institutions along the San Antonio Museum of Art corridor provide the city's most celebrated urban experience. SeaWorld San Antonio, ten minutes from the campground, is one of the country's largest SeaWorld parks and the most practical theme park for guests staying in the park's western position. Fiesta Texas and La Cantera's retail and entertainment concentration complete the commercial entertainment landscape accessible from Tejas Valley. The Natural Bridge Caverns and Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, in the Hill Country north of the city, provide the nature programming that downtown tourism can't supply. Tejas Valley RV Park is open year-round in San Antonio's mild south Texas climate and serves both the seasonal tourism traffic that the city's major events generate and the extended-stay market of work travelers in the northwest San Antonio employment corridor. Fiesta in April creates one of the city's peak demand periods. Reserve early for Fiesta weekend and major events, and use the park's tree-shaded western-corridor position as the comfortable base that San Antonio's geography makes it ideal to serve.

Copano Bay RV Resort

On the shores of Copano Bay in Rockport, Texas—in Aransas County on the Texas Coastal Bend where the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge's whooping crane winter habitat, the Rockport-Fulton area's redfish and trout sport fishing, the Key Allegro marina's private island community, and the Rockport Beach Park's Texas Blue Wave-certified swimming beach create the year-round coastal resort that artists, anglers, birders, and the Houston-San Antonio corridor's weekend outdoor community have built into one of the Gulf Coast's most consistently rewarding destinations south of Corpus Christi—Copano Bay RV Resort provides full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer on the bayfront property, cabin rentals, a waterfront pool, a fishing pier, a kayak launch, a dog park, a fitness center, a game room with pool table, ping pong, and poker tables, a 16,000-square-foot clubhouse with a library and full kitchen, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, walking trails, laundry, and year-round operation in a bayfront resort whose Copano Bay fishing pier, kayak launch, and whooping crane proximity create the Rockport birding and angling base camp that the Texas Coastal Bend's most complete RV resort provides. Bayfront fishing pier. Kayak launch to Copano Bay. Whooping cranes 35 minutes north. Full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer alongside cabin rentals on the Copano Bay waterfront provide the accommodation infrastructure at the resort whose 3101 FM-1781 bayfront position creates the direct-water-access that the fishing pier and kayak launch translate into operational bay and creek access from within the property. The waterfront pool's heated operation and the fitness center serve the daily health and recreation routine, and the 16,000-square-foot clubhouse—with the full kitchen, the library's book and media collection, the billiards room, ping pong tables, and poker facilities—creates the resort's social gathering infrastructure at a scale that the winter snowbird and extended-stay community genuinely occupies across the Aransas County season. Sports courts, volleyball, basketball, walking trails, the dog park, and the comprehensive laundry complete the resort's daily practical and activity inventory. Rockport sits in Aransas County on Aransas Bay and Copano Bay, in the coastal community where the Live Oak Peninsula's protective bay position and the historic fishing village identity—the Rockport Art Center, the Texas Maritime Museum, and the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site's 1877 French Second Empire mansion—create the cultural and historical depth that the birding and fishing community's primary visit adds outdoor recreation to. The Rockport Art Association's nationally recognized artist colony, whose concentration of coastal painters working the bay and live oak landscape has made Rockport the Arts Capital of the Texas Coast, creates the gallery and studio culture that the Rockport weekend visitor accesses alongside the Copano Bay's fishing. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, 35 miles north, provides the coastal marsh wintering habitat for the world's entire natural whooping crane population—the 500-plus birds that winter here from November through March represent the recovery from just 15 birds in 1941. The refuge's 115,000 acres support 400-plus bird species during fall and winter, and the Rockport whooping crane boat tours operate November through March. Copano Bay RV Resort operates year-round in Aransas County's subtropical coastal climate, with the November through April birding and fishing season the most popular period—the whooping crane arrival, the winter duck hunting, the redfish and trout concentration in the cooling bay water, and the mild coastal temperatures create the Texas Coastal Bend's peak outdoor recreation quarter. Reserve your bayfront site or cabin at Copano Bay RV Resort and let the fishing pier, the kayak launch, and the Aransas whooping crane flyway deliver the Texas Coastal Bend resort experience that Aransas County's most completely equipped bayfront campground provides.

A boat ramp opens the water for boating and fishing, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, clubhouse, game room, library, billiards, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a pond, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. A state park is nearby. Pets are welcome. Rockport and Fulton sit at one of the Gulf Coast's most celebrated points for birding, fishing, and waterfront living.

A lake and river support fishing, boating, and swimming. The quarry is the differentiator — vertical limestone walls around clear water, with swimming and cliff jumping in a setting no purpose-built resort could replicate. Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe are minutes away. Summer river and lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

LaFitte's Hideout RV Resort

96 RV Sites

On Mustang Island at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, LaFitte's Hideout RV Resort earns its position in Port Aransas—a fishing village-turned-coastal-resort town that holds onto its saltwater identity despite the vacation traffic that fills its streets each summer weekend. Port Aransas holds the title of Fishing Capital of Texas, and LaFitte's backs that claim up with a location within walking distance of multiple sport fishing charter outfits and a short golf cart ride from miles of open Gulf beach accessible without the development density that marks the Corpus Christi mainland to the south. Big-rig-friendly pull-through sites with full 50-amp hookups accommodate Class A rigs and fifth-wheels up to 45 feet with room for a tow vehicle alongside. All sites provide full hookups with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, with parking space sufficient for two vehicles per site—critical when guests arrive with a boat trailer or a tow car in addition to the rig itself. A pool and spa serve the relaxation contingent, and climate-controlled his-and-her separate bathhouse facilities provide a level of privacy and comfort that stands above the typical coastal park. A large recreation hall and kitchen accommodates group gatherings and organized activities, the general store handles incidentals and supplies, and high-speed Wi-Fi keeps guests connected during the hours when they're not on the water. The Gulf of Mexico fishing from Port Aransas ranks among the finest on the Texas coast, with nearshore reefs producing red snapper, king mackerel, and cobia, while offshore structures attract yellowfin tuna and wahoo for anglers willing to run farther out into blue water. Charter operations just steps from LaFitte's offer half-day bay trips for speckled trout and redfish, full-day nearshore excursions, and overnight offshore runs for guests who want to experience the deep-water fishing that keeps Port Aransas on the national angling map year after year. The Lydia Ann Channel, which separates Mustang Island from San Jose Island, provides calm-water kayaking and wade-fishing access that feels genuinely remote despite being a short paddle from the resort's gate. The Port Aransas Nature Preserve and the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center sit within the town limits, providing exceptional migrant songbird watching along a boardwalk that spans the wetlands and ponds between the Gulf and Aransas Bay. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, the winter home of the endangered whooping crane and accessible by boat tour from Rockport about 30 miles north, offers a rare opportunity to see North America's tallest bird in its protected Gulf Coast wintering grounds. The University of Texas Marine Science Institute on the island provides public aquarium exhibits and outreach events that add a scientific dimension to the coastal experience. Spring break and summer weekends fill Port Aransas to capacity—reservations at LaFitte's must be made months in advance for the peak April and June-August period. Fall and winter bring some of the finest weather and best offshore fishing of the year as blue-water species stage near the jetties before cold fronts push them south. The mild, salt-washed air and quieter off-season streets give the island a completely different character from its summer self—one that many repeat guests find more agreeable than the peak season. Book early regardless of season, as LaFitte's limited inventory moves quickly among the dedicated Gulf Coast fishing community.

Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort

49 RV Sites

Built on a 31-acre former racehorse training ranch in the Texas Hill Country near Wimberley, Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort preserves the property's equestrian heritage in its name and shaded character—more than 350 mature oak trees deliver a canopy of natural shade across the resort grounds that provides meaningful temperature relief during the warm Hill Country months while framing the panoramic 15-mile views across the Blanco River valley and the distant limestone ridges of Hays County. The resort's combination of premium landscaped grounds, a comprehensive amenity package, and the natural beauty of the central Texas Hill Country landscape positions it among the more resort-caliber full-hookup RV destinations in the corridor between Austin and San Antonio. Full hookup sites with big-rig-friendly access accommodate large motorcoaches and fifth wheels, and the resort's amenity investment reflects a premium positioning in the Hill Country RV market. A swimming pool, hot tub, fishing pond, billiards room, game room, pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, corn hole, craft room, snack bar, general store, dog park, fitness center, business center, laundry facilities, and clean restrooms and showers collectively deliver a resort experience substantially more comprehensive than the typical RV park. Cabin rentals provide lodging for guests who want the resort setting without an RV, and golf cart rentals allow guests to navigate the property's 31 acres comfortably. Premium Wi-Fi infrastructure and professional-grade bathhouses complete the resort infrastructure. Wimberley, one of the Texas Hill Country's most charming small towns, is known for its artistic community, crystal-clear spring-fed swimming holes, and access to the Hill Country's iconic outdoor recreation. Blue Hole Regional Park, a beloved natural swimming area on Cypress Creek, is one of Wimberley's most visited summer destinations—a green-filtered swimming hole under massive cypress trees that embodies the spring-fed swimming culture of central Texas. Jacob's Well Natural Area, less than three miles from town, is a spring-fed limestone shaft that is one of the most photographed swimming destinations in Texas, with crystal-clear water flowing from an ancient cave system at a consistent temperature year-round. The San Marcos River, accessible from San Marcos 15 miles south of Wimberley, provides additional spring-fed tubing, kayaking, and natural swimming access in one of the clearest rivers in Texas, fed by Spring Lake at the headwaters. The Blanco River, running through the broader Wimberley valley, offers fishing and tubing in a more intimate Hill Country river setting. Austin, approximately 45 miles northeast of the resort via Ranch Road 12 and US 290, provides the full metropolitan cultural and entertainment infrastructure of Texas's capital city on a straightforward day trip, while the historic German settlements of Fredericksburg and New Braunfels extend the Hill Country cultural itinerary in the opposite direction. Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort is open year-round, with the Texas Hill Country's mild climate supporting outdoor recreation and resort-style camping across all seasons. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for outdoor activity, and the Wimberley Market Days—held the first Saturday of each month at the Lions Field market—draws regional vendors and shoppers that give guests a recurring local event to plan around. Summer brings the peak Hill Country swimming season at Blue Hole and Jacob's Well, when reservations at both natural swimming destinations require advance planning. Resort sites should be reserved well in advance for Hill Country spring wildflower season and spring break periods.

Austin Lone Star

17 RV Sites, 3 Park Models

Five miles from the live music venues, taco trucks, and iconic energy of downtown Austin, Austin Lone Star puts you squarely in the center of one of America's most vibrant cities without sacrificing the space, hookups, and practicality that RV travel demands. Located at 7009 S I-35 Frontage Road, the community offers a full-service urban RV destination that serves long-term Austin workers and short-stay visitors in equal measure. In a city where hotel rooms run high and parking is perpetually scarce, having a full-hookup site just minutes from everything Austin offers is a genuine and underappreciated advantage. Austin Lone Star delivers on the essentials with a heated pool perfect for Austin's long, hot summers and a fitness room that keeps active guests on their routines. Twelve private bathrooms—including two ADA-compliant suites—keep wait times to a minimum, and the pet park with artificial turf sanitized twice monthly makes this one of the most dog-friendly urban parks in the state. A clubhouse with billiards and spacious picnic areas scattered throughout the property round out the communal spaces, while laundry facilities, propane, and a dump station cover the practical needs of self-sufficient travelers. Reliable WiFi throughout the park serves remote workers and families streaming their evening entertainment alike. Austin's South Side—where the park is located—captures the city's creative, unconventional energy at its most concentrated. South Congress Avenue runs north from the park toward downtown, lined with vintage boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and the kind of only-in-Austin shops that make an afternoon of browsing genuinely memorable. The South Lamar corridor adds additional dining and nightlife options, while the proximity to I-35 gives quick freeway access in every direction—north to the Domain shopping district, west toward Barton Creek and the Hill Country, south toward San Marcos and New Braunfels. Barton Springs Pool—a natural, spring-fed swimming hole in Zilker Park maintained at a constant 68°F year-round—is one of Austin's great civic treasures and a short drive from camp. Lady Bird Lake's hike-and-bike trail encircles the Colorado River impoundment through the heart of downtown, offering kayaking, paddleboarding, and the city's best running route. The Congress Avenue Bridge hosts the world's largest urban bat colony—1.5 million Mexican free-tails that spiral into the evening sky in a nightly spectacle from March through October. Sixth Street and the Red River Cultural District offer live music virtually every night of the week, year-round. Austin's outdoor lifestyle is genuinely year-round, though spring wildflower season and fall's comfortable temperatures are the most coveted times to explore the city on foot and by bike. Summer heat is real but the social calendar never slows, and the park's heated pool becomes a daily necessity. The Austin City Limits Music Festival in October and SXSW in March draw massive crowds—book well ahead for those weeks. Reserve your site at Austin Lone Star and plug into the energy of one of the most dynamic and entertaining cities in the American South.
