✨ Take me to the stars

Best places to star gaze around San Antonio in the summer

As we get deeper into summer and closer to fall, you’ll start to notice clearer and cool nights around the Alamo City. If you have a love for the cosmos, or like to shoot astrophotography, this guide will help you find the best spots around the 210 for your intergalactic viewing needs.

Where can I go?

Unfortunately, San Antonio emits too much light pollution (excessive artificial light caused from street lamps, buildings, etc.) so stargazers need to travel outward into the Hill Country for the best view. Here’s where we recommend:

Government Canyon State Natural Area, 12861 Galm Rd.
Entrance fee: Children 12 and under get free admission, adult admission is $6.

Blanco State Park, 101 Park Rd. 23
Campsite fee: Starting at $20.
Entrance fee: Children 12 and under get free admission, adult admission is $5.

Watching the stars in the fall? Check out our guide.
