Summer Tradition

Garner is a magical place full of summertime memories for many TX families. We love to have a picnic and rent kayaks. This is a must-do park in Hill Country. Fun for the whole family, but gets crazy packed in the summer.

This is a must visit park

Our family has made Garner an annual trip at Spring Break. The park has TONS of activities for everyone - hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, dancing - yes I said dancing. 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. The park is Water and Electric only but there are plenty of dump stations.
