Campground Review:
The San Antonio/Alamo KOA is a KOA Holiday campground located 10 minutes from downtown San Antonio. Resort amenities include full-hookups, pool, camp store and dog playground. The park offers plenty of green space and access to the Salado Creek Greenway Trail system for walking and biking. Our dogs loved their daily walks along the trail. The park is also on the city bus line for easy access to downtown San Antonio.

Chili & Cedar’s Review:
We loved the San Antonio-Alamo KOA! We walked every day on the Salado Creek Greenway Trail. There was plenty of green space and lot of places to walk in the campground too. The campground also had a dog playground – woof!
Campground Rating: 4.9 PAWS out of 5 PAWS
San Antonio has lots of dog-friendly activities! There are many dog-friendly breweries, restaurants and trails here. Even the Riverwalk is dog-friendly. We loved our visit to nearby New Braunfels and enjoyed the patios at the Muck and Fuss Restaurant and the Winery on the Gruene.
