Sonora, TX
Caverns of Sonora RV Park
When the kids and I had to fly back last minute to AZ for school testing, I felt terribly guilty cancelling reservations at Carlsbad Caverns. Caverns of Sonora vindicated my decision.
This spot was halfway between El Paso and Austin - so we only stayed one night. No reservation needed. In fact - there’s always space.
While I feel the cave tour was a bit overpriced, it was extremely informative and intimate. The camp grounds are stellar (only $25 per night); peacocks roaming free, beautiful tree coverage, and super friendly hosts “Oh honey, if you arrive late, just park. We’ll see you in the morning.” Good ole TX hospitality.
HIGHLIGHTS:
In the area:
Caverns of Sonora - FYI - absolutely NO bags, NO backpacks, NO purses. I couldn’t even rock (pun intended) my SmarterGarter. Ugh. This is a privately owned cave, and they take the preservation extremely serious.
HAD I KNOWN:
Make your kids pee BEFORE the hour tour. ;)
