The King of the Texas State Park system. Garner SP is the
largest and busiest state park. My wife used to spend her
summers here and she has lot's of fond memories.
We haven't actually camped at the park. Instead we stay at a private RV park down river. However, it's a short drive and with our park pass we come in for the day.
We really enjoyed watching the cliff / tree divers and the rope swing. Several in our group (including my wife) worked up the courage to jump off of one of the trees. Her bravery got the kids motivated to do the rope swing. Even my five year old was doing the rope swing.
The Frio was awesome, clean, clear and very refreshing on a hot day. The park was very busy, but everyone was well behaved.

We did some exploring up river around the dance hall. I was able to check out some of the College World Series baseball at the snack bar.
The park has a good sized general store, a snack bar and a gift shop. There is also a dance hall / patio where all the kids come up
to two step every Saturday night. My wife's first dance was on
this patio. People bring up chairs hours in advance to save a spot.

The park also has some really nice sized cabins for rent.
