Of the ones you mentioned, probably Cleburne would be best as its a bit further south and approaching the northern edge of the Hill Country. But the last weekend is March is usually a tad early for the best of the bluebonnets and other wildflowers. Mid- to late April should put them in their prime but the further south you get, the better your odds.

As said, Cleburne would most likely be your best choice of the ones you listed. If you end up there, you may also want to take a drive about 18 miles south to Dinosaur Valley SP. The field on the right as you approach the main gate usually has a great display of bluebonnets.

Hope this helps and you have good luck. We will be heading toward Kerrville about the same time but don't expect any great displays until our return leg of the trip. Best of luck to the both of us and,

Happy Camping!
