I just went to the TPWD and looked at the park maps. Is there much privacy at Inks Lake? I think we will probably book something with power and water anyway, I just don't want to have an RV sitting right over our tent!

You won't get a lot of privacy at Inks unless you head to the western end of the park ("Water Only" sites). "Power & Water" sites on the eastern end don't offer as much privacy but puts you near the swimming area and other park activities.
Sites are pretty good sized and nicely spaced except in the very far eastern loop (Sites 240-257). Sites 83-93, 279-286 and 41-48 all give nice access to the lake for swimming and offer good sized sites. You will most likely have trailers and other RV's as neighbors. About every other site between 240 and 276 are on the water, nicely sized and shaded to some degree. Not the best swimming in that area though.
If the kiddos are old enough and swim well enough, don't miss letting them swim in the Devil's Water Hole. They'll love it! Just make sure that they are supervised.
Below you will find a link to a review of Inks Lake I wrote a few years ago. We go there often enough that I'm confident you will find it of help even though it is a bit older then I'd like. Hope you find it of interest and you have a great trip. Let me know if I can help further.
Happy Camping!
