Alamo River RV Ranch Resort

First of all I want to start the review with… the camground is clean and beautiful, my teenage boys had a great time fishing and playing with the rope swing, and the people were very nice, and this review would probably be a 4 or 5 if we would have been in a camper or cabin… BUT… there is a train switching station less than a half mile away from this place. All night we heard constant reverse beeping, train horns and loud banging and crashing. We were in a tent and had a toddler. We would have made other arrangements if we would have known about it. We did mention it at the office (thinking it was construction) and was told the construction crews didn’t work on the weekend. (We’re pretty sure they were aware of what the noise really was). Just wanted to let people know. In all the reviews we found, not one mentioned this noise and needless to say, we got very little sleep for 2 nights.

Well workers are awesome. Super laid back. We had a pop up and the Pop up sites is basically an open grassy field. Kind of like my backyard. If you have an rv, it’s pretty nice. And for a tent, if no electricity is your thing, not a bad place either. But Pop ups, do yourself a solid and find somewhere else

Great place. Awesome people working here. Cleanest restrooms and showers at rv park I have ever seen! This place is great. Will definitely be back!

We stayed at this campground in early August, so it was hot! It would be even better in the winter. But the benefit of the summer is that it isn’t crowded. We had reserved tent site 31 online but when we got there the very nice lady at the front desk said we could camp at any of the open sites. After driving past all available sites we ended up choosing site 38. 31 was off on its own and you could walk directly to the river however there wasn’t much privacy from the road that was just up the hill, still a really nice site. Site 38 however had water which we decided was important to us. 38 is in a group of quite a few tent sites but since we were one of only a few campers there it wasn’t a problem.
The river that runs past the campground was really nice, there is even a little beach area. We swam in the water and even tubed down the very short rapid by the «beach».
I think the most impressive party (or the part I was most worried about) was the bathroom/​shower facilities. There are out houses down by the campsites but back up top near the office are 4 bathroom/​shower combo rooms. I love this idea! The shower is closed off by curtains in the corner of the room and the toilet and sink are in two other corners. The benefit of this is that the shower area is quite large, I’m not a fan of shower curtains coming close to touching me and I had no issues with this large shower area. Water temperature and pressure were also good and the rooms have AC!
The location is great, about 15 – 20 mins to downtown San Antonio and there is a train track nearby but we really only heard about 2 trains in the early evening.
Overall this is a lovely campground.
