Welcome aboard, "warrior mom"! Hope we can help.

Like "rockhill" said, you may have an issue with low water and that will most likely be true at either park. Both are great parks with South Llano having a slight edge with me. You may find camp site privacy a bit limited but they do have great facilities. The "tent" area is a bit more secluded but still not what I'd call real private.

Perdenales has "power and water" sites that offer a bit more privacy with some fair seclution offered by the brush and undergrowth. There is also a "hike-in" area that offers a great deal of privacy. River is nice to wade/swim in IF the level is high enough.

Another one you might think of is Blanco SP. Just about no privacy but a very nice park with a better chance for swimming in the summer time. Of course my number one fa-vor-ite park, Inks Lake SP will always have great swimming!

Hope all this helps and you have a great trip. Stay cool and,

Happy Camping!
