We are getting ready for the weekend here at Alamo River. We continue to have new guests get in touch with us for Easter.
If you are interested in camping over the Easter weekend make sure to get in touch with us.
There are some things we are working on that we think will be exciting!
Check back for some announcements coming soon.
The Medina River continues to be a little muddy from the recent rains but we have had reports of fish being taken here. I guess they don't care if it is muddy or not. :)
If you have gone to our website at www.alamoriver.com then keep checking back for some new sections we will be launching soon that we think you will find interesting.
That's it for now...will write again soon.
On the River
Very Peaceful

Great Weekend!
We had a great weekend here at Alamo River!
We had a Church Youth Group that spent the weekend and they "had a blast" in the words of the Youth Leader -- and they said they would be back! Those words are very important for us to hear -- it means that we were able to provide what they were looking for.
We had a chance, while making our rounds, to meet a lot of people tent camping with us and we thoroughly enjoyed speaking with them and sharing our campground stories.
We have had a lot of people that have come in that frankly didn't know we were here. Our IT (Information Technology) staff has been working overtime to make sure the word is getting out about our campground and according to the number of people that came in this past weekend -- it is working! :)
Check us out on Facebook or Signup for our Newsletter by using the signup form right here on our blog.
Speaking of IT -- we just got the last piece of our new WiFi System in place and according to our guest -- "It Rocks!"
For people that live on the road full time, of which we have quite a few, the Internet is essential to them. So dependable, fast and accessible WiFi is very important. We know this well -- since some of us are Full-Time as well.
Oh, we also had some horse riders show up too! The horses were beautiful and looked so good going down the trails here.
We are getting quite a few reservations for Easter and if you are following us here and are wanting to come on Easter Weekend -- just let us know. We are now reserving sites for that weekend.
That is all for today -- stop back again soon!

Somerset Fire and Rescue Visiting Us for Training...
So last night we had the pleasure of watching the Somerset (Texas) Fire and Rescue - Water Rescue Team train on the river off our lower campground. We were thrilled that we could give them a training area.
It was very interesting to watch them do what they do.
...and they trained at night!
This team was very professional and methodical in their approach.
What a comfort to know this kind of dedication and talent is out there to serve!
Thank you for your service!

Campfires...Stories...Laughter...and the Memories...
One of the great things about a campground is all the great people we meet. They come from all over the country and with them they bring their unique personalities and of course great stories.
This is a very diverse country and few places bring people together like a campground.
Sitting around the campfires at night is a wonderful experience as these traits come together in an environment of relaxation and while surrounded by the great outdoors.
For those that haven't experienced camping it is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.
There is a feeling of satisfaction in being instrumental in providing the environment for the such gatherings.
This is one of our goals at Alamo River to provide the opportunity for people to meet if they choose or to enjoy some solitude if that is what they are looking for. It really doesn't matter -- as long as it makes for happiness.
Over the years some of our greatest memories have been remembering the people we have had the honor to meet.
While eventually they travel on down the road we are left with a gift of having met them, even if for a brief while, and the memories that will last a lifetime.
I think campgrounds allow us to live our life in moments -- and realize the significance of the moments of our lives. It is so easy to allow the minutes to tick away unnoticed as we go about our hurried lives.
Ah...but the joy of slowing down -- taking time to watch the little ones catch a fish or two and see the wonderment in their eyes -- or the laughter that comes about as we reminisce of past experiences around the campfire.
I guess it really it is about making memories -- memories that stay with us for a long time.
This is all part of the journey that makes life so special.
I guess I need to end this for today -- I need to get the makings for some Smores together!

Welcome to the Alamo River RV Resort Blog!
We have answered the requests of our customers and friends and started a Blog.

Located
on the beautiful Medina River, 16 miles from the downtown River Walk,
on the southern city limits of the Alamo City. We have over 3/4 of a
mile of river frontage to fish, hike or just enjoy the quiet beauty of
this historic 96-acre working ranch. We have miles of wooded trails for
hiking, mountain biking, horse back riding and abundant wildlife to
see. Alamo River RV Ranch offers more space, more solitude, and more
comfort than any other park in the greater San Antonio area.
