Garner Grill

Two-night camping at the end of October. We all loved here and that was one of the most beautiful Texas State Parks we've ever visited. Shower in Pecan grove campsite was really clean and well maintained. Old Baldy and Crystal Cave were easy to challenge for small children because the trail was really rocky, but children had a lot of fun. If you can only visit a State Park in Texas Hill Country, this is the one if you know how to avoid the masses.

Nice park. Many trees and parking spaces. Must be for pedestrians walking on the street, despite signs that tell them to use the paths. Clear water. Many warehouses.

The hike at Garner is difficult to beat. The surveys are demanding, but the views are worth it. The trails are marked, but you still have to watch. There are several routes to choose each with their own personalities. It is easy to spend all day on the trails so early. They are a lot in the park, from playgrounds to mini golf to a grocery store. It's really a beautiful park. Enjoy!

We camped here for a week in January and loved it. It was too cold to go swimming in the river, but there is lots of hiking and plenty of other things to do. Make sure to try their ice cream and homemade fudge down by the park store. Just make sure to make your reservations in advance, as they fill up fast.

This is a gorgeous place! We've been here many times and camped overnight twice on the last year. The shelters are nice to have if you want to skip the tent. The water is clean and cool for summer weathers. We've also hiked Old Baldy a few times and the scenery from up there is just breathtaking. This is a big state park so there are plenty of space to share. The only feedback I have is the restrooms could be better. There were 4 showers in one of the buildings but 2 were out of order. The public restrooms right across the dam area are a little rundown and could use some cleaning and updating but not a deal breaker. We will be coming back more often.

Garner is worth a visit! Lot of things to do like camping, hunting, kayaking, picnic etc. We came to see the Old Baldy Trail, make sure to wear comfortable shoes as the trail is very steep and rocky the view above is amazing, also frio river is beautiful and great for pictures.

Old baldy trail is steep and rugged but worth it at top Crystal cave trail is cool and you can actually go in the cave. Its only about 30 to 40 feet deep, but still pretty neat Bridges trail was also a great trail.
