Our first RV experience here at Ft Sam Houston. Outstanding staff, easy access to the base via the Winan Gate and large pull throughs for our 37' RV and Jeep toad. Office accepts mail packages via UPS/FedEx/UPS but really doesn't want separate "mail" coming in. We stayed several weeks, enjoyed the sites of San Antonio and for good local meat/vegetables you must go to Central Market, just 10 minutes from the base! Washers are $2.00, dryers start at $1.75 and can add additional time if needed. We will be back again for sure! Made several RV friends while here....go Navy, beat Army :)

We have been extremely impressed with this base RV park, with both the base and the RV park itself. The base is clean and has outstanding commissary and exchange facilities. There are amenities on base like a UPS store that we haven't had on previous bases. The park itself is large and clean, the sites are level, and the staff is helpful and nice. There is also a propane fill station in the park that is very convenient. If you're looking for fun things to do on base, they have an equestrian center around the corner from the RV park and you can book trail rides. There are also what looks like almost brand-new boats for rent for excursions to local waterways. If I was providing any feedback for improvement, I'd just suggest some more grass landscaping as it can get dusty, replacing the washers that are getting a little long in the tooth, and adding camp WiFi.

Lack of campground-wide wi-fi made amenities a 4. Very nice campground. Will stay again if it fits our itinerary.

Amenities only 4 stars because there is no wifi in the park. We really like this RV Park. The staff is excellent. Back in November of 2021 a young man driving their riding lawn mower (with roll bars) ran into 1 of our bedroom slide outs and scrapped up the pain, (the roll bars hit the slide out). The staff filled out an incident report and paid the body shop directly for the repairs that were needed when we got back to our home town. I could not have been more please with how it was handled! Both our stays in February and March were excellent. I was able to play golf a few times (brown grass, but that's ok). As mentioned in other posts, Ft. Sam is in the center of the city. The city expanded around the base, so for the most part you're very close to most attractions. The exception being Sea World which is west of the city center (much closer to Lackland AFB). Since we're desert rats from NM, whenever we're close to the Gulf or on the east or west coast we indulge in eating seafood. We found a little Mom & Pop restaurant (Bayseas Seafood Restaurant) that has outstanding food: seafood, soul food, and basic American food! They have gumbo and even have gator tails! We love that stuff. If you do, too, google them. They are about 10 miles north of Ft Sam about 2 miles west of I-35. Our phones again worked as modems for Netflix and prime. Xfinity signal was good. The wind was much less in SA than Corpus Christi. We'll be back!

Stayed for 31 days in January, 2022. The price is right and the location is close to the center of San Antonio. You get all the best of base facilities (Exchange, Commissary, Gas Stations, Mini-marts). The park was spacious with plenty of room between sites. Ample room for strolls within the RV facility and certainly, ample room on the huge base! The staff was wonderful. The bathrooms could use a little touchup, but they were certainly adequate. I would certainly stay at this facility again if visiting San Antonio in the future.

This is a very nice RV Park. Wide spaces, trees, grass, level concrete pads, wide access roads, and quiet. Straight shot through the post main gate, no barriers to wiggle around. Was a bit of challenge making way back to RV park, some roads have no signage. Post has a new Exchange and large Commissary. There is a wi-fi hotspot at back of the park office but not through out the park. We liked this one!

First time using FSH Camp site - we stayed for 8 nights while visiting family in San Antonio. The site is in the back part of FSH - near Softball fields, Golf Course and Cemetery - Can see BAMC from the camp site. The "Winans" gate is the one to use during the week -- they close around 8-9pm and not open on the weekend, then you have to use the Harry Wurzbach main gate. (Confusing to travel from HW gate as many of the streets don't have street signs -- but basically two quick lefts and follow the road to the camp site). The FSH camp requires to wear mask when checking in, but was easy if having a reservations (which I called about a month before). They do limit to 30 days, and several were leaving and arriving each day -- that was nice for that so you don't have a "trashy" permanent RV park like you might see off a military post. The camp sites are all concrete pads and have room for a car parked behind the RV (I have a 34 foot motorhome). They had no wi-fi, but we just used a hot-spot for internet with no issues. There are two bathroom/shower facilities and are cleaned each day. They mowed and trimmed around the grounds while there. Commissary is within 10 minute drive if that. Will be coming back next Spring!!!

Stayed 2X, once on our way to Corpus Christi and then on our way back towards our NM home. Both stays we’re fine, On our way back we had a nice shaded site. We could only stay for 2 days as the camp was totally booked. I was shocked, it’s summer in SA, a 100 degrees! Moral of the story: you have to have advanced reservations!

Nice park with level concrete pads, good utilities, staff are friendly enough. We like to go for walks in the evening and this is a great park for that. Everyone we've met at the park has been very friendly. The laundry facilities are very small, but work great, and we've never not been able to wash a load or two when we wanted. There's not much of a view, but it's nice and quiet. Each site has a nice concrete patio area with a picnic table. There are train tracks close by and you'll hear trains come through, but we use a white noise machine at night to sleep and never heard the trains over the noise machine. This might be a concern for someone else though if they are a light sleeper and don't have a noise machine. The only complaint we have has nothing to do with the park itself, but the base. It is a pain in the rear to get to the RV park. The closest gate to the park, the one listed in the directions on this website, is only open Mon-Fri during the day. So, although it works fine for getting the RV into the park, for day trips out to see the sights, you'll often have to use the main gate, which is much further from here and the roads over that way aren't very good. The pavement is in good shape, but it's kind of a roller coaster ride. You're also driving through a school zone and NCO Academy area, so lots of 20mph zones as well. We've gotten used to it though, having been here several weeks, and it's not a big complaint just a little frustrating. On a plus side, once you get to the front gate you are only minutes away from the Alamo and the Riverwalk. We've spent many afternoons enjoying the Riverwalk area and all there is to do down that way. The gas station, package store, PX, and commissary are all over by the main gate and have had everything we've gone to get find. All in all, a nice place to stay and we will definitely stay here again if we come through San Antonio. Note - when we paid for our stay the rate was $440 per month and it went up to $550 per month while we were here. It was a great bargain at $440 given the location, and I still believe it is at $550.

JBSA is one of our "places to go to." We enjoy the RV park and the staff managing it, The staff has always been pleasant to work with. We always have a good time here. The easy access to San Antonio and the surrounding area is excellent. Canyon Lake Dam, River Road drive. New Braunfels, Groene (pronounced Green) are only a few on our list of places to visit. Don't forget to tour The Missions, starting with the Alamo. BE WARNED: The WINANS gate is now closed on weekends. Once you start out of the base you would have to go into the housing area to try and turn around to go out the Stanley gate or Wurzbach gate, We drove through the Benz Engleman Rd gate today and would advise against using it. Going out is a straight shot but the road is bad. Coming in a large RV may not be able to negotiate the barriers. Rittiman, Winans and Nursary Road have been repaired (Yeah), so entry/exit Mon-Fri is easy. The Winans gate is now at the bottom of the hill before the turn to Nurserery Rd.

Got here right before the Corona Virus Lockdown started. That put all our plans on hold. Was planning on a 1 week stay and ended up here for 2 months. Hosts and management were extremely helpful. Nice B.X. and commissary that was well stocked throughout and didn’t impose any undo limits on when retirees could shop. They opened this campground up on the 1st of May with standard social distance precautions. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in San Antonio.

This was our very first “military campground" and it was great. It was clean, well taken care of and orderly. The grounds were in great shape. Our dogs liked running free in the dog run. We will use this park again should our travels take us in that direction.

Pretty nice RV Park located fairly close to major downtown attractions like the Riverwalk, Sea World, the zoo, and of course, the Alamo. The park has 74 relatively level, 86-ft long pull-thru sites, each with a 62-ft concrete pad and FHU 50-amp service. The sites are all plenty long enough for even the biggest rigs, tow vehicles, and trailers, and they’re spread apart about 50 feet with lots of grassy space and trees between them. Despite the trees, most sites are satellite-friendly. The pedestals are located mid-site, reachable without the need for extension cords or hoses. We had 122 volts on both L1 & L2, and 80 psi water pressure at the tap. Be sure to use a regulator! There’s a fenced dog park and a playground for kids. Showers and laundry rooms are clean. Coin-operated machines take $1.50 per load (that’s $3 to wash and dry). The staff is friendly and helpful. That being said, there are some detractors. The RV park is 1.5 miles from the nearest gate, and about 3 miles from the exchange, commissary, and main gate. The speed limit is only 20 mph in many areas, but you’ll want to drive that slow anyway so your teeth won’t rattle due to the horribly bumpy roads in desperate need of repair all over the base. There is no WiFi at your site, and only limited WiFi in the club house. And did I mention the train? You can hear the whistle and feel the rumble at all hours of the day and night. And for those staying for an extended length of time and wanting to get mail, that ain’t happening. You can get UPS and FedEx packages delivered to the office, but not US postal mail. And the post office on base does not accept general delivery mail. That can only be done at the main USPS hub on Perrin Beitel Road several miles north of the base. Use zip code 78265-9999 for general delivery (not the post office street address at zip code 78284). Would I stay here again? Well, that depends. If you want a safe harbor for an extended stay, perhaps avoiding colder weather up north, or just killing time between other destinations, then yes, I might stay here again. The price is right (less than $20 per day at the weekly rate). But if you’re going to be in San Antonio for just a short while and still want to see the sights, you might consider somewhere else, perhaps the KOA, with walking distance to public transportation or on-site pick-up by city tours. Traffic and parking downtown can be a nightmare.

This review left using the Directory software by T.M. - The RV Park is fantastic. Large, very clean and well maintained. The park staff were always helpful and courteous. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it immensely. The base is huge and can be confusing. Your GPS does not know which gate is permanently closed and which ones close at 2200 so don't rely on it. I found the main gate (Walter's St. Gate) and marked it on my iPhone GPS so we could enter and exit at the same place during our excursions. It is only 2 blocks from I-35 (Fort Sam Houston/Walter's St. exit). Otherwise the GPS brought us in at gates that were closed and recovering was very difficult. The PX and Commissary are only a block from the main gate also. Both are very large and there are several satellites around the base. Unfortunately none convenient to the RV Park.

Needed an overnight in the area. Good thing we made a reservation! Only two open sites that night. Called ahead and got directions. Very helpful, do not follow your GPS, it will take you to the wrong gate. Arrived after the office closed. Had our site number in the board, but I could not find check-in instructions for after hours. Camp Host on duty was not home. Eventually figured it out just fine. Simple, dated park, sites are level, utilities good, Verizon with 4 bars. No wifi that I could find. Good spacing between sites. Looks like there are quite a few long term residents, but that seems to be a growing trend:(. Only two laundry’s and only a couple of machines in each, that I could find. Bathhouse looked clean. Trains do run nearby. Worked for what we needed, AC on a 100 degree day!

We have stayed here many times. I will agree the roads on post (nursery and Winans) are in terrible condition. I suspect now that the new bridge is open, that they will get redone. easiest way to get to the fam camp is to exit off 410 onto Rittiman road and turn right. follow to harry wurzback and take a left, then go about 1 mile to winans road (just before the national cemetery ) turn left. enter through security, turn right on nursery and follow it around and veer to the left at the school and take nursery to petroleum drive, turn left and follow down about 1 mile to the camp on the right We arrived just before a serious rain storm and just got set up when the flood from above occurred. a few days later we got hit with a serious severe thunderstorm that re arranged several rvs and tore big branches from lots of trees. Within ten minutes of the storm subsiding, men arrived with tractors to clear the roads and remove downed tree limbs and ASSIST anyone needing help. my only complaint about the whole trip was the site (61) faced us dead into the west sun and it was HOT as hades blasting the sun in through the big front window. Baker was her normal friendly and helpful self, and the hosts were awfully efficient and kept he park clean and tidy after hours.

Our first visit to this FAMCAMP, but probably not our last. As others have said getting to the campground can be a challenge. We called a few days before arrival and were provided good directions, but they ended up being difficult to follow due to lack of signage on post. After learning our way around the post we chose to depart via a different route/gate. Some of the roads on Ft. Sam are horrendous! The staff were friendly and helpful. The sites are concrete, level, with good utilities. There is a goodly amount of space between sites. One negative is the overwhelming presence of grass burrs. If you have long-haired dogs this is pretty awful. this is Texas so you're not going to completely get rid of burrs, but it would be nice if they would try to do some control, especially in the enclosed dog park. The burrs were bad enough to make the dog park unusable for our Shelties. It was pretty quiet at night, a bit of train noises now and again, but we like trains so all good to us. The park/post is located close to many of the major San Antonio attractions.

Agree with previous reviews about difficulties getting to the campground. We arrived on a Sunday; therefore the gate we needed to take was closed! After some fancy maneuvering, we made it in. The installation has little to no signage for the RV campground. We relied on directions from the staff, which ended up being difficult to follow as well. However, we finally made it back into the campground. The initial impression is nice. A metal horse sculpture greets you at the entrance, then the registration building is obvious and straight ahead. Our site (can't remember the site number) was at the very end, closest to the dog park with a 6' tall, probably 50'-60' long (if you like to play frisbee with the dog). It is also closest to the horse stables. We saw horses and people riding horses each day of our trip! It was relaxing. If you have kids, the playground was one of the best I've seen. The sites were plenty long for us to park our 36' motorhome and toad behind. Water connection leaked (their issue, not ours). The picnic tables were larger than any others we have seen. That was a plus! Our site was also closest to the railroad tracks and, as you've read in other posts, the train noise is loud, very loud and can run all through the night. Staff were friendly but I did have some issues with trying to pay for an additional night. When I went to the office to ask, I was told I hadn't paid for any of our stay. I brought back the receipt to show where we did pay. We finally got everything straightened out. Overall the location was really good to San Antonio, The Alamo, etc. We will stay here again!

Really enjoyed Sam Houston RV Park. The person’s review before me should not deter you for staying at this park. Granted it isn’t the Hilton with soundproof windows, but noise is a fact when you’re 7 miles from downtown. Trains, construction and troops training, all part of the experience. Beautiful base, very active. Use the advice of the staff, do not use your GPS to get here. Coming in the back was fairl easy, but the road is in bad shape. Check in a breeze but be patience, the phone rings a lot. Lots are nice and wide, hookups all worked and no trash and very little dog poop around. Propane service in the park. Get out and explore. Great city. If the RV doesn’t suit you, visitor lodging is available. I’ll come back

We stayed the entire month of February 2019. The low monthly rate is the only plus for this place. It’s unkept, dirty, overgrown, noisey, and the staff (not the camp hosts) were rude and unhelpful. As regular FamCamp users, we understand there is going to be plane or train or gun fire or other noises that come with life on a military base, but this place was the worst we have experienced. The train tracks are just behind the park, and the train comes through from10pm to 10am (yep, you read that right) with horns blowing constantly. The base roads are worse than a lot of dirt roads we have camped on. The gates are a mess and under weird schedules. They are building a new commissary, and it’s a mess around construction. The camp staff were rude and unhelpful for anything we brought to their attention, from broken washing machines to unkept landscaping to need for mail. They play favorites and keep spots for their friends, kicking military families out of their spots (this was confirmed by a camp host). We couldn’t wait to leave, but took advantage of all San Antonio has to offer while there. We will not return to this base.
