1. Camp 48 — Riverside Retreat
32mi from La Vernia · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Come and stay at our four acre riverfront property right on the Guadalupe! Half of the property is at higher elevation, with a nice sunset vista and breezy camping spots. Parking is also located up here. A short walk down a gated ravine takes you to the lower-leveled riverfront part of the property. This area offers 1-2 camping spots on a wooden deck, and 2-3 camping spots on the rock/concrete pavilion overlooking the fire pit and benches. The riverfront amenities include a gas grill, a cooler, a fire pit (firewood included but always subject to a burn ban), and well water for a hose shower (not for drinking). There is well water on the upper part of the property as well. No fires are permitted up top.
Enjoy the views up top and the amenities down below. Set up your camp wherever works best for you!
Note: There is no electricity or bathrooms on the property. Please pack out what you pack in.
We rent the entire property to one person/reservation at a time. Up to 10 people on the property allowed or $25 per extra person.
Cast a line in the Guadalupe and enjoy the bass and catfish fishing — If you're interested in a fishing guide for a 2-3 hour morning run, the cost is $250.00. The guide will pick you up on the banks of the property around 7am, and you'll be off the water by 10am. Subject to his availability.
Feel free to BYO kayak or canoe. Life jackets highly encouraged!
The property is on ALT 90, 5 miles east of Diamond A Gas Station and Doss BBQ, in Belmont, Texas. It is 10 miles west of Gonzales (home of the "Come and Take It" cannon legend and birthplace of Texas independence). They have an HEB, local Mexican food, and plenty of fast food options.
Hopefully you will find it a peaceful as we do. Always feel free to call with questions while you're there. First time renting our property out, so constructive suggestions are welcomed!

We are an RV and Boat Storage facility that has open spaces available for overnight or weekly dry camping. It is NOT a beautiful camp spot with amazing views or amenities but it is a very affordable overnight parking spot with gate accessible fenced-in secure place to stay with an onsite live-in manager/security. Why take up valuable space at a truck stop where space is at a premium for those truckers as well as deal with the noise of the trucks coming and going all night? The same thing goes for lot docking at a Walmart or the like where there is no security, where people race their cars and motorcycles through the parking lots, or being kicked out by the Police and sleeping with one eye open all night. If in the San Antonio area, come get a safe peaceful night sleep while traveling through. What you get; You get a gate code to gain access, you get a specific area to park, you get a level place to park on a road base surface so no mud, you get a secure place to park, we are not promising anything fancy, just a safe place to park. We are 20 minutes away from Lackland AFB, 23 minutes from The Alamo and 20 minutes from the San Antonio River Walk.

The lake was intended to serve primarily as a reservoir for the city of San Antonio, but it had the secondary effect of transforming the economy of Comal County. Even before the lake was filled, construction had begun on dozens of new subdivisions along the 60-mile lakefront and in the hills around it. By the mid-1980s, more than 80 new neighborhoods had been built, and the little ranching communities of Sattler and Startzville had become thriving commercial centers serving tourists from nearby Austin and San Antonio. The full-time population of the lake area was estimated at 12-16,000, and many thousands more were in the area on weekends.

We had a great time camping 1 night at this property - river access was really easy, there was plenty of flat land to pitch a ditch, and the kitchen amenities were helpful. Highly recommend!

We were happy to park here for a couple nights. Some road noise and trucks coming and going but it was better than Walmart or Love's for the night. Secure spot to park.

We didn't need any hookups, so this was a great place to stay for our 3 nights visiting San Antonio. Site was level with lots of room to maneuver. Gate code access to the site gave us security when we went into town and left our trailer unattended. Highly recommended!
