Location, location, location!

The River Crossing Campground sits at the heart of Garner State Park. Here, you’re steps away from the visitor’s center, a playground, dining hall, parking, 30-amp hookup, restrooms and more amenities. Play compass roulette, and you’ll find an adventure in every direction! Head south to catch a view from the scenic overlook, north to experience Cactus Jack’s Retreat, west for bangin’ bird viewing, and east to spend a day on the Frio River. Anyway you spin it, you can’t go wrong with the River Crossing Campground!

Laf ranch

34 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1100 acres · Medina, TX
1100 acres of gorgeous natural land at the headwaters of the Medina River. Crystal clear and clean spring feed water. Fourth-generation family owners. Remote camping. Very private with plenty of varied terrain for hiking swimming, tubing, biking or just hanging out in a hammock enjoying the breeze and peace and quiet. About 2 miles as a crow flies from Lost Maples State Park. You drive through a 13,000-acre ranch to get to us. We are at the end of a dead-end road with one way in and one way out. NO FISHING Free firewood for use during your stay and can make a good deal if you want to take some home! As our topo map shows we have a wide variety of terrain ranging from steep cliffs with huge views to shady canyons. The river cuts through the middle of the place and is surrounded by four hills that each have their unique characteristics ranging from flat oak-covered to rocky steep ridges. I guarantee you will find beauty all around. We do have a couple of fun areas to try your 4-wheel drive out. Please dont make your own....stay on trails. There are plenty of places to swim. When the Ladder is reserved, you may not swim there. Please be respectful. We have 1.5 miles of both sides of the river so plenty of places to swim. It varies a lot in depth and width over the ranch. Every camp spot has access to all the swimming holes except the ladder when it is booked. The main swimming holes are-- 1. Below the Green Cabin 2. Another my brother likes that has a cypress tree submerged you can sit on he calls the 1000 waterfalls 3. big pond which has the beginnings of a zip line if i can re-engineer how i have it tied on the opposite bank..right now its not high enough on the opposite bank. The goal is to zip line from one bank to the opposite and drop into the water...about 150 ft. It may or may not stay once we try it out...dont anyone getting hurt...But I think zip lines are a blast and we need to do a few rope swings into the water too!

Fort Clark began as a US Army Post in 1852; built beside the Las Moras Springs, to defend settlers along the Pecos Trail.  In service until 1947, Fort Clark was a cavalry fort and home of the famed Black Seminole Indian Scouts; as well as every historic Buffalo Soldier regiment in the US Army.  During WWII, it was headquarters for the 2nd Cavalry Division and it housed more than 3000 German POWs.  The old Army Guardhouse is now a museum. MOVIE BUFFS:  Movies filmed on the fort and in the surrounding area include:  The Alamo (John Wayne), Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo, The Good Old Boys, Barbarossa, Arrowhead & more!Fort Clark Springs is now a 2700 acre leisure living community bordering US Hwy 90 at Brackettville, Texas; approximately 140 miles due west of San Antonio, Texas.The Fort sits at the head of the Las Moras Spring which has been generating millions of gallons of pure, cold sparkling water for over 12,000 years.  It also sits on a portion of the Great Comanche War Trail between Naciamento, Mexico and Oklahoma.  The spring has always been a lifeline for a multitude of cultures and wildlife.  Some of these include a number of different tribes, buffalo, deep antelope and large herds of native mustangs.  The spring forms a stunning little valley and creates a natural habitat that allows native semi-tropical vendure and the finest specimens of Live Oak, Pecans and White Oak trees to flourish.  Today, it also home to large herds of axis and whitetail deer, turkey, javelinas, feral hogs and is a birders' paradise as well; as it sits on the western migratory bird path.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent along the Las Moras Creek under 150+ year old oak trees - exactly where the famed Black Seminole Indian Scouts lived and rode with the US Cavalry; defending settlers and travelers from Comanche along the Pecos Trail. Explore Fort Clark - home to every historic buffalo soldier regiment in the US Army, the Black Seminole Indian Scouts; as well as almost every US cavalry regiment.  After almost 100 years in service, the army post closed (1852 - 1947) and was eventually rehabilitated into a 2700 acre leisure living community, at the edge of West Texas.  Historical markers dot the 21+ miles of hiking/biking trails on the Fort.The original US Army Guardhouse is now a museum; and along with the largest privately owned historic district west of the Mississippi River, it awaits your exploration.  6 State Parks/National Recreation Areas - all within an hour drive - also await you.  Visit the millions of freetail bats at Kickapoo Caverns, the wilds of the Pecos River and Seminole Canyon, tube the Frio River, bass fish at Lake Amistad, explore 21+ miles of hiking trails on the Fort, or just relax by the 3rd largest spring-fed pool in Texas.  (68 degrees year round).  NOTE:  Over 100 movies/TV shows/music videos have been filmed on the fort and in Kinney County including:  The Alamo (John Wayne) , Arrowhead, Two Rode Together, Bandelero, The Good Old Boys and Bad Girls.  Campsites are named after movies made here and in Kinney County.Although located directly next to the RV Park, the campground is separate, with its own bathhouse and has its own vibe of quiet peacefulness.  Axis and whitetail deer walk and graze through the campground year round, as well as large turkey flocks.  Picnic tables, fire rings and shower rooms are also available.Campers may fish the Las Moras Creek (catch & release) with no license needed.  Tent camping here at Fort Clark is very relaxed with large unstructured campsites and a very peaceful relaxed feel to the entire campground.

Your guide to camping in River Crossing Campground

Overview

Biking

For those looking to explore the wildlife by bike, the Old Entrance Road trail is a paved road where bikers can keep an eye out for the golden-cheeked warblers, and for the off-roaders, Garner State Park trail provides moderate difficulty mountain biking with great views!

Boating

Garner State Park’s breathtaking Frio River is the perfect spot to paddle, inner tube, kayak or canoe, so stick to the non-motorized boat varieties to enjoy everything this clear, stunning river has to offer.

Fishing

Among the fish you might catch at Frio River: largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish. This beautiful river is the perfect spot for canoe fishing, with beautiful scenery, easy access from camping areas, and enough fish swimming through these waters to keep you busy all day long. Here’s a great place to see what other folks have been catching.

Hiking

A web of trails meander through Garner State Park, making it ideal for a walk in the woods or even a technical, cliff-side hike. Limestone cliffs and deep canyons make every ascent worth the effort, while flat trails in the northern areas of the park are flat and open. Head to Shady Oak or Painted Rock for the best views, but you’ll have to climb over 1800 feet. Avoid the more difficult trails when rocks may be slick from rain. There are too many trails to name at Garner State Park, but Summit Post offers a great guide for all your hiking needs.

Horseback riding

Head to the Old Horse Trail for a narrow trek through the woods. The trail ascends several hundred feet so the slopes are steep. Looking for a little more instruction? Nearby Elm Creek Stables offer guided tours on horseback.

Paddling

Nothing beats paddling down the Frio River, so whether you’re in a kayak, a canoe, a paddle boat or an inner tube, enjoy everything Garner State Park has to offer on this magnificent river. Kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and inner tubes can all be rented and there are also small lockers by the boathouse, to make your paddling adventure as easy as can be.

Swimming

The clear, crisp water of Frio River is great for a dip on a hot summer day. Whether you’re taking a break along the Blinn River Trail, jumping out of the inner tube, or just spending a day by the banks of the river, you can’t beat the swimming at Garner State Park.

Wildlife watching

Taking a hike through Garner State Park’s extensive trail system is the best way to enjoy the birds and wildlife, but a paddle down the river will also bring you face to face with plenty of water-dwelling creatures.
