Garner State Park Details
This is the most popular state park in the entire state of Texas for camping - and for a good reason. Popular almost every month of the year, this park has screened shelters, RV hookups, campsites, and cabins for overnight guests. And with 1,700 acres of natural beauty to explore, there's something to keep you occupied every day of your stay. Even before it became a state park, the land was reserved in the 1930s for the public. After receiving funding from the state, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a few recreational buildings, including a dance pavilion (which is still used in the summer for the nightly jukebox dance). The park officially opened in 1941 and expanded in 1976 with the addition of 790 acres. The park is centered around the beautiful Frio River, which is popular for inner tubing, canoeing, and paddle boating. During the summer, there's also a mini-golf range and a restaurant for you to enjoy.
