Sun Retreats San Antonio West

109 RV Sites, 2 Cottages, 3 Houses

Sun Retreats San Antonio West in Texas offers 109 full-hookup RV sites and five cottage and house units on West Loop 1604 North, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance, open all year. Premiere back-in and pull-through categories join standard and economy tiers, with a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and arcade. One hundred nine sites span economy back-in, economy pull-thru, standard full hookup, standard pull-thru, premiere back-in, and premiere pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Six tiers from economy through premiere give genuine budget range within one property. Five cottages and houses plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Sun Outdoors San Antonio West. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, bocce ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Fishing, boating, swimming, and planned activities round it out. Pets are welcome. The western Bexar County loop corridor connects the Hill Country approach on US-90 with SeaWorld San Antonio, Natural Bridge Caverns, and the Medina River valley — the point where the metro's suburban edge gives way to limestone and cedar savanna. Spring and summer drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.

Seventy-three sites span creek back-ins, creek pull-throughs, and individually numbered deluxe pull-through sites, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. The park offers both digital detox sites with no WiFi by design and traditional sites with WiFi — an unusual and genuinely useful choice. Primitive tent sites are also available. A general store, laundry, RV storage, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The creek-bottom woodland is the setting, and the wildlife is real — foxes, white-tailed deer, and birds come to the Medio Creek corridor to drink. Walking trails run the property, with fishing, birding, and picnicking from camp, plus a pavilion and dog park. Five decades of family operation have built the reputation of a genuine countryside retreat within reach of the city. Pets are welcome. Von Ormy sits in Bexar County in the rolling terrain south of San Antonio, where the Medina River watershed shapes the landscape. The Alamo, the River Walk, and the full San Antonio attraction inventory are all a comfortable drive. The park operates year-round, with spring and fall the most comfortable in South Central Texas. Reserve ahead for major San Antonio event weekends.

Al's Hideaway Cabins & RV Park

9 RV Sites

In the cedar-and-live-oak Hill Country of Bandera County, Texas, in the quiet community of Pipe Creek between the Medina River valley and the rolling ranch terrain that defines the Texas Hill Country at its most authentic, Al's Hideaway Cabins and RV Park has created a cedar lodge-style retreat that serves the couples getaway and family reunion market alongside the self-contained RV traveler with thirteen log cabins, ten pull-through RV sites, and nine primitive cowboy campsites spread across a property that feels more like a private Hill Country ranch than a commercial campground. The year-round outdoor swimming pool, large event pavilion, coffee shop, minimarket, and the night sky stargazing that Bandera County's minimal light pollution enables combine to make Al's Hideaway a destination of genuine Hill Country character. Thirteen cozy log cabins provide accommodation for 1-8 guests with air conditioning, private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and the outdoor seating that makes a cabin stay feel genuinely removed from the outside world. Ten pull-through RV sites with full hookup electric, water, and sewer service alongside covered dog kennels serve the self-contained traveler, and nine primitive cowboy campsites with open-fire cooking access serve the budget traveler who wants the most unmediated Texas Hill Country camping experience. A 60-by-40-foot pavilion with outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, and big-screen TV serves gatherings and celebration events in a setting ideal for family reunions, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations in the Hill Country's natural amphitheater. The property's garden, terrace, horseshoe pits, cornhole, and evening stargazing sessions in the open-sky conditions of Bandera County extend the leisure menu into the hours after sunset in a way that the Hill Country's dark rural sky makes possible for visitors escaping urban and suburban light pollution. The swimming pool provides essential relief from the Hill Country's summer heat—temperatures that regularly reach the upper 90s by July—in a shaded setting that makes afternoon pool time the social center of the campground during peak summer months. Bandera, the self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World," lies a few miles south and provides one of Texas's most entertainingly cowboy-authentic small-town experiences—a Main Street of dance halls, western wear shops, guest ranches, and the Frontier Times Museum's collection of frontier Texas artifacts that make Bandera a genuine cultural experience rather than a tourist fabrication. The Medina River, flowing through the Hill Country terrain south of Pipe Creek, provides swimming holes, fishing access, and the cypress-shaded river landscape that gives the Hill Country its distinctive visual character through the summer months. San Antonio, about 40 miles south, provides the full urban destination of the Alamo City for guests who want the Alamo, River Walk, or the Pearl District's culinary scene as a day trip from the Hill Country. The Texas Hill Country's camping season extends comfortably through most of the year, with the spring wildflower season in March and April providing the most visually spectacular conditions as the Bandera County limestone hills bloom with bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and the prickly pear cactus that contributes its magenta flowers to the Hill Country's spring color palette. Summer brings the warmest weather and the highest demand for the pool and shaded cabin accommodations, and fall hunting season in November activates the deer-hunting culture that animates Hill Country life from October through January. The mild winter climate from December through February provides quiet camping conditions with comfortable temperatures and the fireplace ambiance in the pavilion that makes a Pipe Creek winter stay feel like a genuine Texas Hill Country retreat.

Lightning Ranch RV Park

47 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Lightning Ranch RV Park in Pipe Creek, Texas, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites and a cabin in the geographic center of the Texas Hill Country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet in back-in and pull-through configurations. A lake, creek, walking trails, and a dog park sit on a quiet property equidistant from Bandera, Boerne, Lake Medina, and San Antonio. Forty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through layouts, sized to 65 feet, with site WiFi. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The setting is the amenity. A lake and creek run the property, with walking trails, hiking, birding, picnicking, and boating from camp, and a dog park for pets. This is the Hill Country's defining character — limestone springs, live oak savanna, cypress-lined creeks — in a quiet, scenic setting rather than a programmed resort. The regional access is unusual for a single address. Hill Country State Natural Area and Government Canyon State Natural Area are both within reach, along with Medina Lake, Bandera, Cascade Caverns, Polly's Chapel, and the Timber Ridge and Cibolo Creek wineries. San Antonio lies south, Bandera west, Boerne east, and Lake Medina north — the Hill Country's German and Czech settlement traditions and its contemporary wine and craft beer scene are all accessible from here. The park operates through the Texas Hill Country season, with spring wildflowers and fall the most comfortable windows and the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for wildflower season and holiday weekends.

Triple C Oasis Resort

On over 10 acres in Hondo, Texas—in Medina County at the edge of the Texas Hill Country where the Balcones Escarpment's limestone terrain and the mesquite-and-live-oak ranch country of the Edwards Plateau create the rugged outdoor setting that a Hill Country glamping resort requires—Triple C Oasis Resort, established in 2023, offers insulated fire-resistant 6-meter geodomes with private BBQ grills and fire pits and eco-friendly open floor plans, bell tent bungalows with the softly structured canvas comfort that the glamping format delivers, and The Oasis—a full coffee bar, general store with snacks and outdoor essentials, outdoor lounge for yard games and social gatherings, hot tub, pizza ovens, BBQ pits, showers, and a professional fitness space—in a luxurious nature retreat whose Hill Country position makes it the polished, social glamping address between San Antonio and Hondo for the traveler who wants the campfire without the tent stakes and the outdoor setting without the discomfort. The geodomes are the draw. The coffee bar is the bonus. The 6-meter insulated geodomes provide the distinctive accommodation that defines Triple C's glamping identity—the geodesic structure's efficient geometry and the fire-resistant, insulated fabric create a comfortable interior in the Hill Country's heat and overnight cool, with the eco-friendly open floor plan and the private BBQ grill and fire pit at each unit creating the self-contained outdoor-living experience that the glamping format promises. Bell tent bungalows in the softly structured canvas format provide the alternative accommodation character for guests whose aesthetic runs toward classic canvas camp rather than the geodome's geometric modernity. The Oasis hub—coffee bar, general store, hot tub, pizza ovens, BBQ pits, outdoor lounge with yard games, and the Gym-on-the-Go fitness space with professional-grade equipment—creates the social and recreational center that pulls the resort's guests out of their individual units and into the shared outdoor experience. Hondo sits in Medina County on US-90 between San Antonio and Uvalde in the gently rolling terrain where the Balcones Escarpment's limestone hills and the Edwards Plateau's open ranch country meet the Rio Grande Plains' broader flatland character. The Medina River, flowing through Medina County from its Hill Country headwaters, and the surrounding ranch land support the white-tailed deer, feral hogs, and native bird populations that the Hill Country's outdoor recreation culture centers on. Medina Lake, 30 miles northeast via US-90 and SH-16, occupies the Medina River canyon in the limestone hills north of Castroville—the dam-formed reservoir's 5,575 acres provide the fishing, boating, and waterfront recreation that Medina County's lake recreation alternative to the Frio River offers. San Antonio, 40 miles east on US-90, provides the full metropolitan experience—the Alamo, the River Walk's 15 miles of riverside dining and entertainment, the San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Pearl Brewery district that are accessible for a day trip from the Hondo glamping base. Uvalde, 30 miles west, provides the regional town center and the gateway to Garner State Park and the Frio River corridor beyond. Triple C Oasis Resort operates in Medina County's subtropical climate with the Hill Country's moderate elevation providing the cooler overnight temperatures that make outdoor glamping genuinely comfortable from spring through fall—the March through May wildflower season brings the Texas Hill Country's bluebonnet and paintbrush bloom to the roadsides surrounding Hondo, and the October and November deer season activates the Medina County hunting culture that surrounds the resort's ranch-country setting. Reserve your geodome or bell tent at Triple C Oasis and let the Hondo Hill Country, the coffee bar, the hot tub, and the 10-acre glamping retreat deliver the luxurious nature reset that the Texas ranch country between San Antonio and the Frio River provides.

Rebecca Creek Campgrounds

5 Glamping Sites

On a scenic bend where the Guadalupe River meets Rebecca Creek and Schultz Creek in the Texas Hill Country of Comal County, Rebecca Creek Campgrounds has created a multi-use outdoor destination on more than 15 acres of riverfront property in the community of Spring Branch—a campground that serves the tube floating, kayaking, and river swimming crowd that makes the Guadalupe the most popular river in Texas from May through September with a variety of accommodations ranging from primitive tent sites to fully furnished glamping tents with hotel-style amenities. Full-hookup RV sites, primitive water and electric sites, private bunk rooms, and kayak and tube rentals position Rebecca Creek as one of the Hill Country river campgrounds that thought through the full visitor experience rather than simply providing a parking spot near moving water. Full-hookup RV sites with water and electric connections, primitive sites with covered tables, glamping tents with hotel amenities, private bunk rooms with separate shower houses, and primitive tent camping collectively cover the full accommodation spectrum from the self-contained motorhome to the group of friends sharing a bunk room for a weekend float trip. A fully plumbed bathhouse with showers, an on-site laundromat, and free Wi-Fi throughout most of the campground provide the practical support infrastructure, and tube and kayak rentals with complimentary life vests on a first-come, first-served basis give guests immediate river access without requiring personal watercraft. The Guadalupe River's convergence with Rebecca Creek creates the campground's most natural recreational asset—a swimming, floating, and fishing location where the cold spring-fed Guadalupe stays refreshingly cool through the summer heat that makes July and August float trips the most popular outdoor recreation in Comal County. White bass runs in the early spring, catfish fishing year-round, and the swimming that the campground's river frontage enables give the property a multi-season fishing and aquatic character beyond the summer tube-floating crowd. A horseshoe court, volleyball area, and children's playground with a small rock wall complete the recreational infrastructure for guests who want activity beyond the river. Canyon Lake, about 12 miles west on the Guadalupe River upstream from Spring Branch, provides the flatwater reservoir recreation that complements the river camping experience—an 8,230-acre Corps of Engineers reservoir with swimming beaches, boat ramps, and the whitewater release below the spillway that activates the Guadalupe's most exciting paddling when the Army Corps releases water through the dam gates. Guadalupe River State Park, about 14 miles east, preserves four miles of the Guadalupe's most scenic cypress-lined corridor in a managed natural environment. New Braunfels, 15 miles southeast, offers Schlitterbahn Waterpark, River Road's tubing outfitters, and the German heritage Wurstfest celebration each November. The Texas Hill Country's mild climate makes Rebecca Creek functional from spring through fall, with the peak floating season running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the Guadalupe's spring-fed cool water provides an escape from intense Hill Country summer heat. Spring brings the white bass run and wildflower season to the Hill Country landscape, with the Comal County limestone hills flowering in Indian paintbrush and bluebonnets in late March and April. Fall provides more moderate river temperatures and the shift in the Hill Country's recreational calendar toward hiking and family camping that summer crowds the Guadalupe's swimming holes, making September and October the most enjoyable months for an extended riverfront stay.

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.

The resort sits off RM-32 where the Blanco River slides through limestone ledges and cypress groves, with Hill Country vineyards and a state park nearby. Spring wildflowers and fall drive the heaviest Hill Country demand. Reserve ahead.
