$15 - $26 / night
"Garner state park has been one of my most favorite campgrounds in south texas."
"This site was located 2 sites away from a wide road to the river. We took our kayak down this path on wheels (would’ve been a hassle without the kayak carrier)."
$26 / night
"A challenge to get into the park (hour and a half wait) and a challenge to hike the trails. Some of the steepest trails in Texas, but they are worth the views!"
"It's quiet, spacious sites and if you get on the outside loop on the river then you have river access."
$20 - $35 / night
"It was a huge spot and was within walking distance to.....everywhere!! We had a dried creek bed behind our site that led to the river and my kids loved it."
"Great hiking trails. Must see in Texas."
$26 - $150 / night
"We were in walking distance of the park store and the river.
The hiking here is fantastic. Must of the hikes include elevation changes and rocky ground, so I would call them moderately difficult."
"Bring your dancing boots, because they play amazing Texas county."
"We were in spot 12 it’s close to the water and has nice trees to cover your tent and campsite with shade. The area is for campers only so it doesn’t get to busy which is nice."
"We were close to the restrooms which is great when you have kids. They had a store with all the supplies you forget or run out of, as well as a restaurant."
"Let's start off with the positives:
- Awesome friendly staff.
- Old Pickleball court to practice on.
- The Rio Frio...you can't beat it.
- Friendly staff.
- Quiet on the weekdays.
- Dog friendly"
"There are two river access points fairly close to each other. One is a dirt ramp and the other is a steep set of metal stairs."
$22 - $35 / night
"The park was clean, people were friendly, and the area I camped at wasn't in Garner (the sites right across the river) but it was still a great spot next to the river."
"I like that it is in “Old Garner”, so it is close to more of the trails, the main swimming area, the store, etc. but it is far enough away to be free of the noise and other activities that go with Old"
$10 - $20 / night
"Lost Maples State Natural Area has some beautiful hiking trails and backpacking areas."
"Close to the river. Nice spaces with covered tables and scattered trees. Hiking, pet friendly. Showers were clean and well kept. No sewer hook up but dump station is right off the road."
$22 - $30 / night
"Had to drive to Park Headquarters to get Wi-Fi and that was spotty. Park store had plenty to offer but as you can imagine prices were a much inflated."
"There are plenty of stores, a food truck, kayak and paddleboat rentals, mini golf, a laundromat, and great challenging hiking trails."
$15 / night
"At the pavilion around 830pm on the weekends they have a dance. A hike up Old Baldy is a must. It’s a workout but the views are well worth it. The RV sites are mostly level."
TravelerVery nice small campground in a fairly remote state park. The park opens Friday morning and closes Monday morning. The campground is very clean, quiet and appeared well maintained. The park staff were really nice. There are some campsites with electric and water and can accommodate an RV or camper. The rest are for tents only and just have water. Shade is sparse and it is VERY hot in the summer months. It was also very windy while we were there. There is no cell service, however the park headquarters building has wifi you can access for free and the range was pretty good. Caves in the park are home to large numbers of bats, and watching them exit in the evenings and fly back at dawn is quite a sight. There is also a really nice bird blind where staff set up a little recirculating creek to attract lots of birds. I saw several species of birds I had never seen before. The main reason we traveled here was for the very dark skies at night for star gazing and astrophotography. Unfortunately it was cloudy at night except for two hours one evening. I would like to come back but would only do it during the colder months as we were tent camping and the daytime temperatures were high 90’s F.
ScoutVery enjoyable campsite. We stayed for a month in March/April. The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us. Spacious sites. Plenty of options for big rigs. Very clean facilities. We ride motorcycles so really enjoyed the location on the edge of Kerville. We plan on coming back again!
ScoutGreat place with clear cold river and hot showers.
ScoutThe RV sites are spacious, and the grounds are spaced out nicely. The river access is nice. There are a few drawbacks. There's isn't a dog park for pets to safely let out energy without tons of wildlife poo (it was EVERYWHERE). Disposing of dog waste was a challenge. There are only two bins on the opposite side of the grounds from the RV sites. One by the playground and the other by the river, additionally were no guest accessible dumpsters, and they don't tell you to put your trash by the curb. To have pets, it is $2.50 for each pet per night. Also, a second vehicle parked at a lot is an additional $10 per night, and the credit card fee is ~$10. They will also charge $50 for violating the pet policy. The site price range has gone up from $45-$75 to $55-$91(and that's still off-season pricing). This place is very nice, but they aren't pet friendly, and the hidden fees are ridiculous.
RangerIf you don't want Wi-Fi service cell service or television signal. This is the place for you while I know most won't agree with me. That's okay to each his own. The staff was very unfriendly. I would not return. Besides doing stuff outside? When I go inside my camper, I would like to use Wi-Fi watch TV and surf the internet. The Wi-Fi signal that they claim that they have. You have to literally sit on a bench outside the door of the office and you get about one bar.
RangerI was planning on staying there, but it is basically an equestrian state park. You can camp there, but there's not electrical and water hook ups. It's mostly tent camping. The staff was very friendly. I went to visit there just to see what it was about. If you're a hiker, there's hiking trails, so you'll enjoy that.
RangerEverything about the park is great. With an exception, there is absolutely no Wi-Fi signal. No TV signal, no telephone signal. I know lots of people are gonna say. That's what they go camping for to get away from all that well, I'm not one of them. So just be aware that you won't have any of this, so bring books and a lot of DVD's.
ScoutThe place is pretty nice, good showers, not that many people in January. There are nice easy trails around. Good WiFi,we had no service with T-Mobile
