finding campgrounds online
Yahoo Message Number: 104424
Hi! I thought I had previously seen an online resource  for finding camping spots on the internet, but now, in my favorites, all I can  find is the website for finding dump stations all over.

IS there such a site?  I am trying to find  someplace close to our daughter's home which is in No. San Antonio off the outer  loop and all the guides my brother gave us with the motorhome are IN the  motorhome which is still out in storage.  She is visiting here and I wanted  to see if there was someplace she knew that was nearby her home. We can't park  in front of her home because she lives on an almost 45 degree slope and has a  likewise driveway. No amount of leveling would work...LOL..  Besides which  she lives in a gated community and I'm sure it would not be allowed.

hopeful thanks, LouAnne in No. CA  (http://www.lazydazeowners.com/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

We use rvparkreviews.com extensively. Been very helpful in our both of our 7-month trips, as well as our maiden voyage Mothership to Maine for 9.5 weeks. Easy to use and, we think, reliable.

---- In your situation, this page from the www.rvparkreviews.com website might help you to quickly find a convenient spot:

Note that there are also links to nearby towns and cities on the same page.  Good luck.

LouAnne, someone here posted the following website not too long ago -- perhaps this is what you were remembering?  When the site comes up, find Texas then click on "MAP."  A map of the entire state will appear, but you will need to enlarge it to focus in on regions.  It will show private, state, NFS parks, then click on the icon for specifics.  Traveling in unfamiliar areas, it has helped me a lot.

Good luck!

LouAnne and Tessa,
 I've stayed in the Guadalupe River State Park a couple of times.  (It is the closest state park to our home.)
 It is nice, but my objection to it is that when they made the RV area, they put it pretty far from the river in the woods, despite the name of the park.  The river is within walking distance, but it is a long walk, and no views from the RV area.
 Guadalupe River State Park  is OK as a base to visit San Antonio, but for more scenic camping I might rather recommend one of the several commercial campgrounds along River Road that runs parallel to the Guadalupe River from Canyon Lake to New Braunfels: http://www.rioraft.com/ http://www.klranchcamp.net/ http://www.rockinr.com/ http://www.hill-country-visitor.com/New_Braunfels_Texas/RV_Camping/RV_Parks

It is only about 20 minutes down I35 from New Braunfels to San Antonio.  There is also dump sites at the rest area along the way.
 I can't be more specific as I have never camped in one of the River Road parks (too close to home), but they look nice as you drive by and River Road itself is a very scenic drive..
