Discover San Antonio RV Rentals and Explore the City

MangoRV is a family-run and local San Antonio company that loves the city and all it has to offer. We’ve taken RV trips and realized that such trips bring us joy. We believe in leisure, adventure travel and most importantly we believe that families need quality time to make memories that last, and road trips are one of the perfect chances for that. For those reasons we’re proud to be the top choice for San Antonio RV Rentals. Rvers from all over the country have rented our luxury RVs and have amazing road trips while visiting popular destinations like Fort Worth, Big Bend National Park, Corpus Christi and South Padre Island.

Founded on May 1, 1718, San Antonio is the second most-populous city in Texas and the seventh most-populous city in the USA. San Antonio offers an authentic fusion of Mexican and Texan culture. Major components of San Antonio’s economy are education, health care and medical research, business and financial services, and most importantly- tourism, and our military.

RV Campgrounds/Parks

San Antonio offers a range of RV parks and RV resorts for RV renters. When you rent your RV from MangoRV, you can expect to experience San Antonio like never before. There are tons of options to choose from and narrowing them down is key.

If you prefer a more traditional camp setting, a rustic feel to a campsite with more exposure to nature and wildlife, enjoy outdoor activities like trails, hiking and bike riding instead of modern amenities, then a Campground is your best option. Campgrounds at state parks can be found just outside the city.

If you enjoy having access to many amenities like pools, exercise facilities, fishing piers and event spaces like community centers, then an RV Resort might be the perfect setting for your vacation. On the other hand, if you want the best of both worlds and want a bit more seclusion and privacy from neighbors, prefer to see trees and have access to modern amenities like electrical and water hookups, and perhaps a paved driveway, then an RV Park might be the right fit for you. A good point to remember is that RV parks are a middle ground between RV resorts and Campgrounds.

Here are four of our favorites.

Approximately 10 minutes from historic downtown San Antonio, this KOA is the perfect location if you want to be near everything. Once considered Campground of the Year in South Texas, this destination is perfect for Class C RVs and offers 300 campsites with 50 and 30 amp hookups, Wi-Fi, fire wood, and many recreational activities for children and everyone to enjoy.

A very overlooked but important need that RV renters should always consider is an RV storage facility. Due to the large size of an RV, storing one at their home residence isn’t an ideal solution for most people.

Know Where to Dump Your Tanks in San Antonio

You may not have thought about the need to dump your RV waste before, but it is something you should consider and plan for when RVing in San Antonio. Dump stations are where you go to empty your RV waste safely from the holding tanks. The holding tanks consist of gray water and black water. Gray water is all of the water that drains from your shower, kitchen and bathroom sinks. Black water contains human waste and must be disposed of carefully and safely because it is toxic. You should wait until the tanks are full or nearly full and dump the black water first and gray water last.

To avoid driving around for hours looking for dump stations, you should know of a few locations in advance where you can dump the gray and black water holding tanks. Some locations are free to use, others are reserved for guests only or those with a military ID while others are open to the public for a small fee. Here is a list of cost-friendly dump stations near San Antonio. Wherever you are on your trip, you may also find dump stations by searching the internet for “dump stations near me.”
