Why Garner Is Hard to Book

Garner State Park is one of Texas's most popular state parks. Reservations open 5 months in advance and popular weekends sell out within minutes. Cancellations happen constantly — people's plans change — but they go fast.

What Makes It Worth the Effort

  • Swimming and tubing in the Frio River — spring-fed and ice cold
  • Nightly summer dance at the concession building (a Texas tradition since the 1940s)
  • Old Baldy Trail — 1.7-mile climb with panoramic Hill Country views

Booking Tips

  • Summer weekends book up the instant the 5-month window opens — set your alarm
  • The river can be low in late summer during dry years — check conditions before you go

Site Types Available

Screened Shelter, Water Only, Full Hookup, Water + Electric, Cabin, Walk-in Tent

When to Go

June through August is peak season — the summer dance runs nightly and the river is perfect. Spring break is also extremely busy. Book 5 months out for any summer weekend.
