Kerrville-Schreiner is no longer a state park, but it is still a very good park. It was transferred to the city, which takes pride in having a great park.
Inks Lake is probably my favorite in the Texas SP system. Sites 83-93 and 291-294 and 211-215 are purposely open with almost no trees around. We prefer 258-275 area.
Like most Texas state parks, you cannot reserve a specific site, only a type of site. All RV sites at Inks Lake 50 amp with water hookups.
Garner is two very separate sections - Old Garner - the Oakmont RV area - is part of the original park and generally some shade - 30 amp only, with water hookups. The sites are pretty close together. Not commercial RV park close, but closer than many folks would like.
New Garner includes - the River Crossing camping area is an open field, mainly for groups and overflow.
The Shady Meadows area has some open areas, but sites 25 to 40 are very nice shady and a bit apart from each other. 134-143 are nice but short for my 36 footer.
The Persimmon Hill area is no utilities and the river side of the Rio Frio camping area is also no utilities. The higher center loop of Rio Frio is 30 amp and water and not crowded. Also the away from the river section of Rio Frio with power.
The Live Oak area is an open loop but trees around most sites. We prefer the 344 to 356 area on the river side.
Note - none of the campsites are 'river front'. Those in Live Oak, Rio Frio and Shady Meadow are on a bluff a bit above the river. There are several paths down to the river.
Those in Old Garner (Oakmont) are all across a road from the river. Also Oakmont is where all the day use folks come for the beach and activities.
Inks Lake is perhaps the best connected park in the system with a wonderful WiFi network.
Garner is the least connected - with no WiFi and no Verizon or ATT or Sprint cell phone service.
