Lake San Antonio Resort

Went out there for the weekend. The original spot I wanted was closed, which was a bummer. Overall, a good stay beside the restroom could be a little more maintained since it seems like someone check them regularly. It was still a good stay, great view, and peace and quiet ;)

I went to lake San Antonio for a weekend camping trip on the north shore, it was amazing being there, it was silent the entire time and warm. well, mostly silent. military does fly around so if you see big grey planes or hear loud jets it's normal for some days, it wasn't disturbing for me but just a thing to know. the stars at night are very bright and it doesn't get too cold. also you can fish here. there's a lot of camping there on both sides and every spot I saw looked very nice. I couldn't name one bad thing about this place except maybe that last time I went they had all the fire pits removed, probably because of fire danger going up. so watch for that if your wanting to do a fire. also they do have bathrooms.

Lake San Antonio was very desolate on a Wednesday. I encountered five employees, and I saw two visitors' cars. The park is beautiful and full of wildlife. The lake is as full as I have seen it. If you want a wildlife adventure, come to Lake San Antonio.

This place has nothing, almost nothing to enjoy. You got to get your own boat and pay fee if you are so desperate about boating in this lake. The day use fee for car ( no boating ) is 15 dollars but there is nothing in the park for you to enjoy. It's a complete waste. There is no restaurant, you got to get your own food / picnic basket if you want to eat. The wildlife is gone, there is no water birds in the lake, we did not see any deer or eagle which they claim they have. I saw some people camping there in the south shore and few people boating or swimming near the shore. Never going back.

The lake situation is too volatile to even count on it being usable year to year. Some years, it's drought, some it's algae bloom that can kill pets. There are good years, but to plan something in advance, counting on the lake being available is very challenging. The campsites are fair. Some with rv hookups, some without. Not everything works (bathroooms, hookups,etc), but the staff are 5 stars without hesitation. Super nice and helpful people. Ok, now the real dirt: Wild boars 🐗. Be ready to pack EVERY SINGLE FOOD ITEM in your vehicle, or RV. Forget how awesome you think your cooler is, from Yeti to Walmart brands. They will find a way in, or....LEAVE with the whole f-ing thing, and open it like a stolen ATM back at their pigpen hideout!!! Don't ask me how I know...please. My story ends happily with our 2 families laughing and eating bacon 🥓 the next morning (it was inside the RV overnight), feeling we ultimately have the last laugh.
