Garner State Park
With over 1,400 acres of land, the Frio River flowing through 10 of them, Garner State Park is an oasis in the middle of the hot Texas sun. Heavily wooded and surround by the hills, Garner State Park offers hiking and nature trails along with opportunities to take to the river with kayaks and paddle boats. It's actually cheaper to set up a tent and stay the night as opposed to just coming for the day. Depending on whether your bringing your home or setting up a tent, camping rates vary for a site with water or site with water and electric.
