Review

Nestled on the outskirts of San Antonio, the Cibolo Canyons and Campanas area shows up in these reviews as a place that many residents clearly love, despite a slate of ongoing frustrations. Several writers moved here around 2020, drawn by the home itself, the trails, the social opportunities, and the sense of community. They describe a home they cherish, a neighborhood with abundant outdoor space, and moments when life feels blessed and special. The sentiment about the place is buoyed by the kids' enthusiasm, the beauty of the surroundings, and the many amenities that residents can enjoy. One reader sums it up by noting: "We moved to our home in Campanas in 2020? We love our home, the neighborhood, trails, the amenities, the social opportunities. It is a very blessed, special place to live." The affection for the area is reinforced by brief but positive lines - "Kids love it," "This place is amazing," and "Nice place" - that capture a sense of everyday joy found in family-friendly spaces, parks, and open areas.

The amenities center and its accompanying features receive a lot of praise. Multiple reviews celebrate the pool complex as a standout element of the community: a lazy river that many describe as "cool" or "awesome," a splash area with a slide and a bucket dump, and abundant seating. Commenters highlight the convenience and appeal of the entire facility, calling it the "best amenities center," noting the abundance of space, the lively swim team, and the overall feel of a well-maintained center. The party room is praised as well, described as clean, well-maintained, and inexpensive to rent. The overall experience at the amenities is framed as family-friendly and enjoyable, with remarks like "Great time with the family," "So fun," and "Beautiful water" underscoring the positive impression left by the aquatic offerings.

Alongside the physical amenities, several reviewers give high marks to the community's programming and leadership. Lexi, the Lifestyle Coordinator, is singled out for doing an "amazing job" of offering entertaining and enriching activities, while also providing an easy-to-use e-magazine that helps residents plan their social lives. A note of appreciation for Lexi reads as a kind of stand-in for the overall vibe: a responsive, organized effort to build community and keep people informed. In addition, there are nods to ongoing events, with one reader thanking the organizers for Cinco de Mayo celebrations and another appreciating the way community events help newcomers feel at ease and connected.

Yet the sweetness of daily life here is interwoven with significant points of contention and concern. The most pointed critique centers on a gym facility that someone labels "terrible" due to equipment in poor condition and hours that allegedly do not match online listings. The complaint escalates into a claim that the situation amounts to a scam, underscoring a broader frustration with management and communication. Other residents echo this frustration with calls and emails going unanswered, a sentiment that compounds the sense that information and responsiveness can be a weak link for those who are new or trying to get things done quickly. There is also a practical complaint about the splash pad: its water is consistently colder than the other water features, and a policy change in 2025 that allegedly increases bucket flow to a minute-long dump adds to a sense that some elements of the experience are less predictable than they should be.

A separate thread of concern focuses on environmental and developmental changes in the area. A longtime review laments the apparent clear-cutting of heritage trees along trails and a golf course by Starwood developers in a bid to cram in more housing. The reviewer argues that the master plan is being amended to remove conservation land and more heritage trees, painting a picture of a once-tree-lined, serene landscape that is becoming congested and less picturesque. The accompanying imagery of dead wildlife along TPC Parkway - deer and fox - adds a stark emotional note about the environmental and aesthetic shifts that some residents fear will only accelerate as development continues.

The social dynamics within the community also appear to be mixed. Some posts celebrate the welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive feel - "A very picturesque neighborhood group," "Awesome homeowners association," and "Helpful staff" who keep the center clean and well maintained. Others recount more troubling experiences, including a harsh critique that suggests access and inclusion are limited by gated-neighborhood policies and a claim that a person in a leadership position within the HOA discourages access to non-residents or people of color. One writer bluntly states, "Only for people that live in the gated neighborhoods? if you are a person of color? you are not allowed there," while another expresses satisfaction simply by saying, "I live here so yeah 5 stars." These contrasting voices reveal a community that is cherished by many but also dogged by real or perceived issues around inclusivity, access, and governance.

Taken together, the reviews paint a complex portrait of a community that is deeply valued for its location, natural beauty, and family-oriented amenities, while also contending with administrative, environmental, and social tensions. Residents repeatedly describe a place that feels like home - full of life, with kids enjoying the parks and families bonding over events and shared spaces. They praise the physical comforts of the pool complex, the sense of community fostered by dedicated staff and organizers, and the opportunities to meet neighbors through events and programs. At the same time, they voice legitimate frustrations about gym upkeep and responsiveness, the reliability of public information, changes in water features, and the environmental and developmental pressures reshaping the landscape. In the end, many reviewers conclude that this is a place with undeniable charm and a strong sense of community - best enjoyed when the challenges are acknowledged and addressed, and when the leadership and management keep pace with the expectations of a growing, diverse neighborhood.
