I will be landing in San Antonio and need fuel for my camp stove, and basic groceries. We plan on heading out to Del Rio when we land, to stopover for the night before we head out the next day to spend the week at Big Bend NP.

Does anyone know of a convenient place to stop on the way to Del Rio (from the airport) for fuel and groceries? I assume groceries will be rather easy to find, but the fuel was my main concern. I use SnowPeak canister's for a litemax stove.

Thanks for your help! Looking forward to Texas

I would look up a WalMart.

I did not realize WalMart carried fuel for camp stoves. I will call and check and also see if they are located near the airport.

Starrs: I usually go to the nearest REI, but they are not in San Antonio, closest is in Austin. That is a bit out of my way, we wanted to head on over to BBNP.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.

Check Sports Authority - you may need to call a specific store to see if they carry what you need. I believe there is one on the north side of SA.

Dang! How did I switch Austin for SA in my mind? Sorry 'bout that.
