The FAA records 24 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of San Antonio. Not one of them is designated public use, so every arrival is by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into San Antonio may well work from one.
Every heliport within 25 miles of San Antonio
Distance is measured from the middle of San Antonio, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.
