After staying at Travelers World south of downtown San Antonio a few times, we opted for the KOA on the east side and were impressed.
With about 300 sites, this “Holiday” park was selected as the KOA Campground of the Year in 2015. The wooded park-like setting alongside Salado Creek provides beautiful sites with many offering extra space, or grass/patio areas. We’re parked at D-1, an end site with a large concrete patio complete with two Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, picnic table and large grassy area.
Prices at both Travelers World and the KOA are comparable with the upcoming “Fiesta” celebration set to kick-off next weekend. The rate for our “patio” site was $78/night less our 10% “Value Kard” savings. The park is about a 15 minute drive to the downtown River Walk area, or about a 30 minute ride on a city bus with a stop just outside the main gate. There’s a made-to-order Hunts Brothers pizza onsite, as well as “Fred’s Fixins” breakfast cafe that’s open Wed-Sun. And, unlike so many other KOAs the WiFi actually worked well here!
The River Walk has always been a favorite! We enjoyed a boat tour on Sunday afternoon and a wonderful dinner at Rosario’s on Monday. Tomorrow we’ll head south to the Rio Grande Valley, where we’ll spend a night or two and then cross the Isabella Causeway Bridge to South Padre Island. More from Padre…
