Garner

The Story Plate

Absolutely beautiful! 🌿 From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a nature postcard — clear water running over smooth rocks, colorful leaves, and those incredible hill country views. We explored the trails, discovered the Crystal Caves, and soaked up every bit of peace and adventure the park had to offer. The Frio River was stunning — so clear you could see every ripple — and the sound of it flowing over the rocks was pure therapy. Days were warm and sunny, nights cool and cozy — perfect for campfires, burgers, and stargazing. ✨ It’s one of those places that reminds you how amazing God’s creation really is. We’ll definitely be back for more of that Garner magic! 🌄❤️

one of my favorite place to hike and for outdoor activities like camping, night stay, kayaking and so more.... it is the one of the best national park in Texas and now it is the hot favorite thing to do in list of Texas. As I hadn't enough time to explore the one of trail out there , I just explored the river and camping area. it was an amazing nature area to stay night there. As We were walking along the river, enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings when a sudden rain shower added a magical touch to the scenery. It made our trip even more memorable with stunning weather moments. Highly recommend nature trail area for hiking and nature lovers to visit and I will take more days to spent more time to cover one of the long trail in next time

Our church takes a camping trip every October. We camp at Garner every other year. This October was warm enough to float in the river, but cool enough to need a blanket at night. The weather was perfect! Bathrooms were all working and clean, too. Since there was no dancing, we brought our own. Other campers joined, too. It was a blast.

Beautiful location in hill country. Rv sites are generous in size. Some 50 amp, some tent only. Very limited sewer at sites, use the few that a located through the park. Cabins and shelters available. Park is busy on weekends so plan ahead. River Frio is a border of the park and it is outstanding. Normally it is not deep. Part of the river is dammed allowing a cool spot under the cypress trees to enjoy a hot summer day. Hiking trails can be difficult with steep rocky climbs. Cycling off road is either easy or hard, nothing in between.

Love love love Garner State Park. This is my second time camping here and it never disappoints. Frio river is super clear and the views are gorgeous! Also I'd like to mention that the water pressure in the showers it's fantastic; a pleasant surprise. The only downside of the park is there some construction. There's a stoplight that holds up traffic coming from the opposite direction for quite a while. Traffic going both directions got backed up very quickly. Other than that, I highly recommend visiting Garner State Park, especially now that the fall colors are going to start poppin.
