RV Rental for Comal County Fair in San Antonio, TX

Every September I start getting the same call: folks heading up I-35 to New Braunfels for the Comal County Fair, asking if I can drop an RV near the fairgrounds so they’re not driving back to San Antonio at midnight after the rodeo and carnival. An RV rental for Comal County Fair is one of the easier setups I do all year — the fair lands the week after Labor Day, the Hill Country weather is finally easing off the worst of the summer heat, and I know the surrounding RV parks well enough to put you somewhere that actually works for fair traffic on Common Street and Highway 46.

I’m the local Fireside RV Rental owner here, and I personally deliver and set up rigs across Comal and Bexar counties. Below is what I tell every family planning to camp the fair week.

Why Rent an RV for the Comal County Fair

The fair runs at the Comal County Fairgrounds right off Common Street in downtown New Braunfels, and parking near the grounds gets thick by early evening once the carnival lights come on and the parade crowd lingers. If you’re coming in from San Antonio, that’s a 30–40 minute haul up I-35 each way, and after a full day of fair food, livestock shows, and the rodeo, nobody wants to make that drive twice. The fair doesn’t have on-site RV camping at the grounds, so the play is to stay at a nearby park and shuttle or rideshare in — or just park close and walk.

A New Braunfels fair RV rental gives your group air conditioning to duck into during the warm afternoons, a real bathroom, a place to feed the kids without standing in a food line, and somewhere to nap before the night events. For families showing livestock or competing, having your rig close means you’re not running back and forth across the county all day.

Where to Park for Comal County Fair RV Camping

There’s no full-hookup RV camping at the fairgrounds themselves, so here’s where I send people for Comal County Fair RV camping:

• Landa Park area, New Braunfels — closest to the action and the river. Great if you want to be near downtown and the Comal River between fair sessions.
• Hill Country RV Resort — a comfortable New Braunfels option with full hookups, an easy choice for first-timers who want a paved pad and amenities.
• Guadalupe River State Park — northwest up Highway 46 toward Spring Branch if you want a quieter, more scenic base and don’t mind a short drive in.
• Canyon Lake (Army Corps campgrounds) — about 20 minutes out, good for a fair-and-lake weekend if you’re staying longer.

September is still warm in the Hill Country — daytime highs commonly run in the 90s the week after Labor Day — so I always confirm the site has a solid electrical hookup that’ll carry the AC without trouble. Book your campsite early; fair week is one of New Braunfels’ busiest weekends, and the close-in parks fill fast.

We Deliver and Set Up — You Just Show Up

Here’s how it works: you don’t need to know how to tow a trailer or back a motorhome into a tight loop. I bring the rig to your campsite, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through everything before I leave. After the fair, I come back and take it away. You never touch the driving.

I’ve delivered enough around New Braunfels to know which park loops are tight and which sites run short — when a customer books a particular park, I match the right size rig to the pad so we’re not fighting a turn that won’t take a 30-footer. That kind of Comal fairgrounds RV rental delivery setup is what makes this easy for fair-goers who’ve never camped before. Learn more about how our RV delivery works.

Fleet to Fit Your Group

Whether you want a smaller travel trailer for a couple or a larger motorhome for a family pulling the kids and gear to the fair, I’ll help you pick the right unit for your group size and the campsite you’re booking. A county fair motorhome rental gives you the full setup with kitchen and bathroom; travel trailers are a budget-friendly option that I’ll deliver and set up the same way. Specific features and what’s included vary by unit and location — give me a call and I’ll tell you exactly what each rig comes with.

Make a Weekend of It Around San Antonio

Plenty of folks coming in for the Comal County Fair stretch the trip into a long weekend. If you base near New Braunfels, you’re a short drive from Natural Bridge Caverns and the Guadalupe River, and only about 35 minutes down I-35 from the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Pearl District in San Antonio. It makes for an easy combination — fair by day, Hill Country and city in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there RV camping at the Comal County Fairgrounds?

The fairgrounds don’t offer full-hookup RV camping for the public during the fair. I deliver to nearby New Braunfels parks like Hill Country RV Resort, the Landa Park area, and Canyon Lake campgrounds, all within easy reach of the grounds off Common Street.

How far in advance should I book for fair week?

As early as you can. The fair the week after Labor Day is one of New Braunfels’ busiest weekends, and both my rental units and the close-in campsites book up. If you have your dates, reach out now and I’ll confirm availability.

Do I need to know how to drive or tow the RV?

No. I deliver the RV to your campsite, level it, connect the hookups, and demonstrate everything before I go. After the fair I return and remove it. You never have to drive or tow anything.

What areas do you deliver to?

I deliver throughout Comal and Bexar counties and the surrounding Hill Country — New Braunfels, San Antonio, Schertz, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, Seguin, Boerne, and nearby towns. Tell me your campground and I’ll confirm I can reach it.

What’s included with the RV?

Inclusions vary by the specific unit, so the best thing is to call me at 737-235-8011 or email [email protected] and I’ll walk you through exactly what comes with the rig you’re considering for fair week.
