Kerrville - Schreiner ParkKerrville, TX
June 2009
This park used to be part of the Texas State Park program, but recently was sold to the City of Kerrville. It's located just outside
of Kerrville along Highway 173. It was a little odd. There are two sections to this park with the highway cutting the park in half.

This park used to be part of the Texas State Park program, but recently was sold to the City of Kerrville. It's located just outside
of Kerrville along Highway 173. It was a little odd. There are two sections to this park with the highway cutting the park in half.
One section is on the water "River View" and the other section
is across the highway. We were not able to check other the side it
had a gate and it wouldn't take our access code.
is across the highway. We were not able to check other the side it
had a gate and it wouldn't take our access code.
The park map is a little misleading because none of the campsites
are on the water. There are eight cabins that sit up on a bluff
that over looks the water. Behind the cabins is a RV site Sycamore Circle that didn't have any shade at all. You still couldn't see the water so we went for the Pecan Loop that was behind the Sycamore circle. It was perfect, well almost perfect. If it wasn't for the highway that was 100 yards away, it would of been perfect.
The loop was heavily shaded with these gigantic pecan trees.
The entire loop was under this canopy. The sites were good sized
pull through pads with sewer connections. We had a concrete
picnic table and a fire ring. We also had the entire loop to
ourselves. It was almost perfect.

The Guadalupe river was a decent hike from our campsite. There
is parking down by the river so you can take your car. The water front part of the park was very pretty and very popular. Most of the picnic tables were taken and every was having a good time. The river was enjoyable. The water was refreshing and not too fast, not too deep and fairly clear. We did notice a ski boat and some people
sking down river from the park so I guess the river does get deeper downstream.
PROS
- Close to town - easy to get supplies
- Pecan Loop had lots and lots of shade
- Guadalupe River was refeshing and enjoyable
- Pull Thru sites
- Large sites
- Sewer hookups
