Greentree Village RV Park

The Great Outdoors

For a true sense of the Texas Hill Country, head to Government Canyon State Natural Area in San Antonio, Texas. In the northern sprawls of San Antonio, this urban-meets-rural park is a great destination to experience the region. If you want a more leisurely adventure, head out on the network of trails that showcase the rolling hills and wildflower fields. The plateaus and canyonlands of the park offer opportunities for challenges like rock scrambling and elevation changes. The only dinosaur footprints found in Bexar County lie within the park boundaries; be sure to check these out while you're here.Guadalupe River State Park is in Spring Branch. The famed river runs through this park as it cuts through the Hill Country, providing the region with water required to sustain its unique landscape of desert-friendly cacti and sagebrush, and water-loving oak trees and sycamores. Tubing down the river is a popular pastime here. The state park has tubes, canoes, and fishing gear available for rent, so you can experience the Guadalupe like a true Texan.Stray a little farther from the RV park to visit McKinney Falls State Park in Austin. Since Greentree Village is on the northern side of San Antonio, and McKinney Falls is on the southern side of Austin, most of your drive will be spent crossing the sprawling Hill Country. Once at McKinney Falls, you can hike alongside the quaint and picturesque Onion Creek to not one but two sets of waterfalls. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can head off the beaten path along some of the lesser established trails and go looking for the rock shelters that indigenous tribes were believed to have used.
