Military families and RV travelers find Fort Sam Houston Army RV campground positioned within the secure boundaries of the historic military installation in San Antonio. The facility operates as a military-managed campground with reservations available and pet-friendly policies in place.
All sites feature pull-through access with full hookups including 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections on level concrete pads. Brenda L. notes the sites are "spacious" with "picnic tables and grills on each site also." Trees provide shade coverage between many spots, offering relief from San Antonio's intense summer heat. The campground accommodates large rigs with room for slideouts.
Two bathhouses serve the facility with washers and dryers available, though some reviewers mention the buildings show their age despite regular cleaning. A small dog park allows off-leash exercise, while a playground keeps children occupied. Propane sales are available on-site. Train noise from nearby railroad tracks occurs occasionally but becomes less noticeable with air conditioning running.
Long-term residents occupy some sites year-round, contributing to a crowded appearance, though transient spots remain available. Office staff provide directions upon arrival, which proves helpful given the base's complex layout and limited signage to the campground location. For additional camping options, visitors can explore places to camp around Windcrest. The facility works well for military families and those seeking secure, full-hookup RV camping with base amenities nearby.
