McKinney Falls was defintely my second option after Inks, i just wasnt sure what the rules were regarding pets, campfires, and wood gathering. Also, are the rivers there easily accesible for wading/swimming/playing fetch with dog??

Inks Lake really is outstanding with some great camping. I would say that it's probably a bit far for a one night trip. We go there for 7-8 days at a stretch and that's not long enough
. Great, great park.
Have not camped at McKinney Falls but did drive through a few years ago. Camping facilities looked very nice. Pets are allowed on leash and you must clean up after them. Unless there is a "burn ban" (not at this time, as far as I know), campfires are allowed. Suggest you bring your own wood as anything sold at the park will be a bit pricey. Wood gathering of any sort is strictly taboo:no: ! Didn't check out the river but I understand that swimming is allowed unless the flow rate drops too low. It will sometimes in the later part of summer. That slow/non-moving water is not real safe to swim in.
Hope this helps and you enjoy your trip. When you have a bit more time, make sure you get to all the parks in the Hill Country. They are all pretty great. Here's a site to give you a bit more info on those parks. Site will give you more info on the park system as well. I have written some reviews on a number of those parks. Let me know if your interested and I post the site references.
