Garner State Park | Texas
Two Bridges trail, view of Old Baldy
Mike’s Score: This is your quintessential summer camp park. It is quite the complex with tons of amenities including various stores - there was even a putt-putt course! Tons of great hiking options with great views of Texas Hill Country. I quite enjoyed my stay here. Keep in mind this is a developed park and can get quite crowded during spring/summer/fall. 5/5
