Mission City RV Park — Local services in San Antonio

We used this campground as our base for our visit to San Antonio. Site 122A, Pull-through, FHU 50/30/20, pedestal tall enough for Watchdog to clear the ground, water, 4" threaded sewer in the center of the site, so needed 30' of sewer hose, concrete pad with concrete patio well positioned, close to level at +0.3 degrees,-0.3 degrees able to auto-level, gravel between sites (at least some of the back-in sites appear to have grass between), angled parallel opposite facing, adequate space for slides and awning, more than long enough for coach and toad. Escorted to site. Packet ready, was checked in by Dan who was really nice and offered to give us insights into what to see and how to get around after we got settled, which he did, in wonderful detail, complete with maps and brochures. Sites are groomed after every guest leaves.

The campground is in an industrial area. Throughout the night there were occasional clanging / banging / rumbling noises that came from the trucking company next door. There were also occasional sirens from the nearby fire station, and the sound of a train horn every now and then. But, on the plus side, there is a public bus stop right outside the campground entrance that took us right to the tourist section of San Antonio. The campground is gated and fenced, and we had no safety concerns.

8 washers (one of which is designated for pet items and rugs) $2.00 / load, 8 dryers $2.00 / 45 minutes both using the CSC app.

Verizon 3 bars 5G, T-Mobile 4 bars, AT&T 26.11 Mbps down, 22.94 Mbps up.

Big rig friendly.

This might not be the kind of campground you go to just to hang out, but it is a wonderful place to use as a base for visiting San Antonio. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Tips: The #24 bus (westbound) takes you to about a block away from the Alamo and returns you to (eastbound) to right across the street from the campground. The departure stop is just a few feet to the left after you walk out of the campground. The return stop is named "Gembler Opposite 1011." The bus is free to seniors on weekends. If you are not a senior, or riding during the week, be sure to request the 24-hour pass...

We are full time RV-ers and have traveled all over the country staying at more r.v. parks than we can count. So when I give a rating I truly try to be as forthcoming as possible. Our visit was for two days and To me this is a 3.75 star campsite. The pricing is on the higher end of fair, if you make reservations and stay three nights you get the fourth free all summer long which turns it into excellent pricing. It is very clean. The connections were modern and easy. The Wi-Fi was superb. Bathrooms were tidy and operational. The pool was clean and enjoyable. Last but not least the staff were attentive factual and polite hence the fourth star. They were direct and upfront regarding their refund policies so plan accordingly. Truth is all the above is what should be delivered by a professional business. And should be expected by it's clientele. Reasons why I don't rate a 5 star is as follows: The park is in a more industrial area and although the park is very clean and very well maitained the surrounding neighborhood is not as pleasing to the eye. The name Riverwalk gives the impression that it is in very close proximity to the the actual riverwalk. When I asked how far I was told 3-4 miles. It's definitely a car ride rather that a bike ride. And is about a 10 minutes away via auto. Made the reservation on the road 2 hours prior to getting here. I asked for a shady spot and I think I was given the only space without a tree. There were plenty with shade available during our stay. I think the tradeoff was we were right next to the WiFi antennae! So that's give and take. Overall, if you are visiting San Antonio and looking for a space this isn't a bad spot, especially if you will be spending most of your time seeing the sights as it is accessible to the...

Sad to say goodbye in a few days. Mission City RV Park was recommended to us by a friend. I was a bit hesitant to stay here only because of location but I am so glad we did. The location is actually perfect. It is very close to downtown and minutes to the AT&T Center, Willow Springs Golf Course, and Ft. Sam. There is a really nice and clean park nearby (perfect for picnics and for kids to play), and a paved trail that goes for miles (perfect for walkers, runners, and bikers alike). This place is super clean, quiet, and friendly. It has a great pool, very well maintained dog park, laundry facility, bathrooms, showers, and a pavilion, all kept in immaculate condition. There are picnic tables at every site and firepits available for use (just inform the office). There are very large chess and checker sets, and other games (made by Rubin on staff). Speaking of the the staff, this team, led by Fred are all amazingly helpful and friendly. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, respected, and a part of the community here. We are new full timers and this was our first stop for a few months. The staff keep this place CLEAN! I mean, they are out every day, inspecting, picking up any trash that might have blown in, etc. They are constantly painting, touching up, mowing, etc. It is run with pride and ownership, the way anything should be. It is contagious too, as we noticed most residents and short stays do an amazing job of keeping their areas and the park clean as well. We had zero safety or security issues, and absolutely appreciate everyone here. We made some new friends and will be back. We are sad to be leaving but the road is calling us. :) See you again, Mission City RV. Thanks Fred and crew! ...
