I vote for New Garner too. When we went back in June, OG was just too crowded for my taste. However, now that kids are back in school & summer's effectively over, that might not be a problem.

We stayed in the Rio Frio area. I liked it. I always ask the rangers for a shady site close to the bathrooms. They know the shady sites. IF it's not crowded/busy, some will give you the ranger station phone number & if you have a cell phone (AND can get reception -- which is an iffy thing in the SP's!!) they will let you pick a site and then just call them with what you picked.

Or -- you can ask them to give you a list of numbers that aren't taken, pick one, drop your trailer, and then go back to the ranger station & tell them the number. They're usually very accomodating, and (I'm sure :rolleyes: ) used to picky camping folk!!
