As I arrived I found 2 other rigs that I was put next to in the empty park however for $25 for a space with electric, water and decent restrooms/showers what can one really expect? Much better then one I found in the city center, Country… something. The town itself is pretty neglected and past it’s hay day.

So there were 2 other RVs when we pulled in. It was three in a row when every other RV site was empty. I went back to the office to request another site and was told they were keeping them all open for late comers.

So I guess those RVers have no idea how to pull into a pull through site without hitting something. Such BS. I was told that I could drive over to Sonora to find a better site if I wanted to. It’s at least a 20 minute ride each way so we stayed. If I wasn’t so tired of driving, I probably would have left. Do not camp here. They will not make any exceptions even when they are empty!!!

We checked in and were assigned site 22. We followed the map to the general area and found none of the sites had visible numbers. There was a guy sitting in a lawn chair, the only other occupied site, we visited and between us figured that since he and I were the only ones here it pretty much didn’t matter which site I hooked up to. We were wrong. I settled into what turned out to be 24. Jacks down, slides out, about to open an adult grain beverage and all of a sudden a smallish elderly lady is screaming at me that I’m in the wrong site. Keep in mind here that we are two RVs in ten sites at 5 in the afternoon at a park that does not accept reservations. I mention that to illustrate that there is no way to know how many sites will be occupied for the night. After some discussion (you ever argue with an idiot?) it was agreed that I would pull in slides, pull up jacks and move to 21, so as not to crowd our new friends in 23 (22remains unoccupied). No sooner did we get set up than a big fifth wheel pulls into the site next to us (20) leaving no less than five unoccupied sites down the way. These sites are way too close together for my taste and even without the bad experience with management they would not have gotten great reviews. The site utilities appear to be functional (water and 50 amp electric only), access roads are decent and we’re told that the caverns are nice. Given different circumstances we might have booked the cavern tour @$20/person but we choose not to enrich ownership further than we already have. I have posted pictures of site 21/20, the larger view of the area and the rudimentary map that we were supposed to use to figure out where our site was located. Did I mention that there were no numbers on any of the sites?Nothing can be done at this point about the closeness of the sites but numbering the sites and correcting management’s attitude with respect to customer service and empathy in general would go a long way toward making this a more pleasurable experience.

Due to a miscommunication error, neither my husband nor I read the reviews before calling the Caverns on the day of arrival to inquire about availability. The lady who answered the phone stated "we have plenty of room". So we took the 10ish mile trek from the highway to the RV park. We were happy to see there were a good number of trees as shade was something we were after. I asked the young man who checked us in for a spot in the shade. He said they didn't have any and after consulting with his mom, offered either a couple of spots on the upper level or spot 24, right next to the ONLY other camper in the park. I asked about the spots we had seen under the trees. He asked Mom about the tent spots. Clearly no hook-ups there I suspected. So it was off to one of the upper spots. On the way there, we noticed a spot on the lower, pull through level that was in the shade. While my husband pulled into that spot, I headed back to the office to ask if we could have that one. The manager met me outside the door and immediately informed me they don't like people to camp down there. I told her we were looking for a spot with shade and she snarkily said "oh I know exactly what you want, you came in looking for it". Like asking for shade was an unreasonable request. When I asked why we couldn't camp in the shade of the tree she said that if any big rigs came in, they can't get around. Huh? It was 4:00 p.m. and were one of two campers in the park. What were the odds of a big rig coming in that time of day? There did seem to be sufficient room for a vehicle/camper to pull around on either side. She did offer us the spot on the other side of an abandoned camper as it provided a bit of shade. So that's where we headed. Later I took the dogs for a walk and found that the "tent spots" did indeed have hook-ups which could have easily accommodated our 20 foot trailer and Ford Explorer. The icing on the cake was learning the next morning that we were camped next to a skunk hole. Found that out after our dogs were sprayed by a juvenile skunk. Would we stay here again? NO WAY! They clearly do not want visitors, so stay away. You will have a better experience staying at a rest stop or WalMart parking lot.

We really enjoyed this funky old site with nice trees and a great cavern and gift shop.We were lucky enough to be there mid week with only a few other RVs. I don’t know how it would be filled to capacity, when we were there it was quiet, And delightfully charming!

Our site and the two next to us had reverse polarity so did not use electric. Told the campground host who told us not to use our generator. It was a cold night. They need to get this fixed. No cell service.

We were assigned site #25 on our arrival. There are 25 sites and only one other RV there. The site was very tight with a sharp turn to get into and overhead trees in the way.

The site was very tight with a sharp turn to get into and overhead trees in the way. After attempting to fit we selected another site that we were able to easily fit into. When my wife went into the office to explain and request the alternate site she was told that was not an option. Despite a mostly empty campground it was take site 25 or nothing. We asked for a refund and left. Too bad too because I am sure we would have spent money in the store and probably done the cavern tour.

We were leaving Big Bend National Park and headed to Austin, Texas. We needed a good in-between spot for an overnight. Google showed us the Caverns of Sonora, which I had never heard about before.

Google showed us the Caverns of Sonora, which I had never heard about before. Visiting the caverns seemed epic, then I saw on their website they also have RV parking/camping, which made it even better. The caverns are privately owned, but well worth a visit. Not all parts of the cavern are open during covid season, but we still got a fantastic 1 hour tour of the parts that were open. The RV campground is a two minute walk next door and has about 10 pull through sites equipped with water and 30/50 amp electric. Sites are given out on a first come first serve basis, so you cannot make a reservation, but the lady working the counter said they never get full. When we were there on a Sunday night, we were the fourth RV. I also noticed an area for tent camping as well which had water and electric. There is no sewer for campers due to the caverns, but if you go to the public rest area 8 miles away (as measured from the parking lot) on I-10 headed east, there is a free RV dump station there. Someone did a review on google on it and took pictures if you want to see what the rest station dump station looks like. We had no connectivity to AT&T, but had 1-2 bars on Verizon. There are no OTA tv channels. There are peacocks that like to walk the grounds and lots of different types of birds. Grounds are fairly level with an asphalt/gravel base. There is one shower available to campers in both the women's and men's restrooms. The restrooms are open 24 hours and were clean. There is no official check in or check out time. The visitor's shop is fun to look around and even has a few items (like blue bell ice cream!) to stock up the fridge. The people who work here are super friendly and we will definitely be back if we're headed out to West Texas again.

Great little place. Family run, sites are fine. We were there to see the caverns. They are stunning. Worth a trip out to see. If you like caves...these are quite simply amazing.

Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful. The first night I stayed, I had the tent sites basically to myself and it was blissful. Really good vibe.

The bathrooms are a mystery — some areas are super clean; there was a fresh curtain and plenty of hot water, but the shower itself was totally neglected.The tour is long. The caves have 98% humidity and there’s a lot of CO2 down there. The formations are interesting and sometimes very beautiful, and the guide was excellent, but I would have preferred a shorter tour with a faster pace and less explanation. I had more fun admiring the peacocks and assorted wildlife up top.

Although there are a few pull through sites they were on top of each other and very tight to get a larger rig into. With ours and our neighbors slides out there was about one foot in between. This site is about eight miles off of I10 and in the hills so cell service (AT&T) is spotty at best.

We came for the caverns and it was a quick 2 nights. No sewer hookup but not a big deal. Sites are gravel and a little tight but again, it’s right by the caverns.

This is a very basic RV area but for what it is and the price it’s 4 stars for us. We would stay again. Our phones didn’t work here but we got 1-2 bars on our Verizon hotspot.

There are a full pull-thru spots in a gravel parking lot. We had 30/50 power and water only. Sites are close together. There was no WiFi or cable and Verizon 4G was 2 bars. We were on the end with a small treed area on the driver’s side, which was nice. We had plenty of room for our 35’ MH and tow. There are peacocks that reside at the campground and they have a feeding station that draws the peacocks and quite a number of deer. The campground was sufficient for our visit. It was very quiet there.We were there for the caverns, which were spectacular and amazing!! Unlike most caverns they were warm. The tour was excellent! If you like caverns you should see this one! If you’ve never been to a cavern, you should see this one!

This is a ranch with a RV Park and a beautiful private cavern. The cavern is the star of the show here. The tour is about an hour and 45 minutes with 360 steps in addition to the ramps.

The tour is about an hour and 45 minutes with 360 steps in addition to the ramps. Will give you a nice little workout but not really strenuous. Beautiful sights through out and an interesting history, well worth the $20 per. The sites are ok. Mine was not level but I was able to level my rig with leveling blocks. Water and electric (30 and 50) but no sewer or dump tanks. There is a dump station at an Interstate rest stop about a mile south of the park. Site map shows 15 pull thru sites but only about 9 or 10 are usable. No wifi available, I had 2 bars on my verizon jetpack and was able to stream video but I do us an outside antenna with a booster. Not a lot of room between but enough for slide outs.The park also has about 15 back in sites but they are not deep, long rigs end up in the roadway but there is enough room on the shoulder opposite to get around. The main attraction her is the caverns, not the RV park. Being able to RV just makes it easier to visit. Rest rooms are ok, showers are old, not much light when in there. Very nice people and gift shop and a big old dog who loves to be cuddled. They also have some game there. We saw a lot of deer and there are about 6 - 8 peacocks that reside there. I enjoyed watching a male putting on his best moves trying to impress one of the females, didn't seem to interest her though.

Others bash this campsite for whatever their reasons, but we LOVED this park. The caverns: if you go here and don’t go on the tour, you have missed out. They are a natural wonder.

People at the park are very friendly, helped out an Israeli family who ran out of gas because it was the right thing to do, and didn’t gouge them for the service. Really friendly people. Enjoy the country that we live in!

Affordable campsites with power and water hookups - nice and quiet - deers that my girls loved to watch - caverns were AMAZING!! The tour last almost 2 hours and the gift show was also amazing - I did some shopping for souvenirs and thought the prices and quality were great! No frills campsites but that’s ok with us especially for one night. We arrived at 5pm and did the 5:45 tour and will head out in the morning. Perfect pit stop!

Caverns of Sonora met our needs: Between Austin and Ft Davis, with something to do--it was a good stop for the night. It is about 8 miles outside Sonora. It is a privately run RV, Campgrounds and Caverns, with a cool little gift shop. We got in after dark around 9pm, and there were still people pulling in for the night, so they showed us where to go, and we just paid in the gift shop the next morning. The RV area is a parking lot, and the campsite area is basically a very small loop where you can throw down a tent wherever you want on the grass or just park (we have a truck tent, so that's what we did). Bathrooms are available with showers. We parked next to some picnic tables and a basketball court, and in the morning, my kids loved to shoot hoops while the adults packed up. You can see deer in the morning from your site! The place we parked was level enough for us.Caverns were a fun diversion on a long drive to Big Bend, so that was nice. Strangely, the caves are not cool (temperature-wise), but it was something interesting to do before hitting the road again!

At dusk and dawn you'll find deer congregating in the nearby fields. There are peacocks that roam the gardens behind the gift shop and some cute dogs as well.The water/electric service was fine, but there was no cell service on T-Mobile. Wish they'd put in some wi-fi. We stayed in the furthest site next to the tree to afford us some shade. Once you park, you walk up to the gift shop to fill out their brief form and pay the $25 nightly fee. Check-in/check-out times were lax, which was nice.Bathrooms were a bit of a trek away at the gift shop area.

Let's be clear, this is not anywhere you want to stay more than 1 night. There is absolutely NOTHING around here except the caverns.

It doesn't detract at all from the experience. The store is incredible inside and out. It brought back memories of road trips as a child many decades ago. We spent some very relaxing time on the porch sitting in an old fashioned glider.The wildlife was abundant. A screech owl perched at eye level right in the campground. Deer were everywhere.They don't have a dump station on site. The nearest one is 6 miles away on I-10. There are showers so not having a dump on site wasn't a huge deal. The ranch dogs roam loose and are very friendly. One is huge and very playful. There is WiFi, but we didn't have much luck with it. If we travel through that area again, we will plan on staying at least two full days.

I stayed here one night only, looking for a spot between Marfa and Austin and this fit the bill. The campground is basic and fine- an easy place to stop for the night.

But the caverns were simply astounding! My tour guide took me on a tour by myself at the end of the day, and we spent almost two hours down in the caverns. I was totally blown away by the beauty and strangeness of the caverns, and my guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology, chemistry, and history of the caverns- she made the place come alive for me in a way that was just unbelievable. Arlene was my guide and I can't recommend her highly enough! She's genuine and funny and she loves those caverns so much that she makes you fall in love with them too. I got yelled at a little bit for breaking the 10mph speed limit and I was trying to be good- so go slower than you think you should and you should escape condemnation.They have awesome homemade fudge in the gift shop, too.The only downside is that it's about ten miles from town, so plan accordingly. But seriously, if you are anywhere near this part of the world, you owe it to yourself to get out here- it would be a huge loss to miss this crazy little bit of the weirdness of the world!

It's located about 7 miles off I-10 with a 1 mile section of hard packed gravel at the end. There are pull-thru and back in spots with water and electric hook-ups. The campground is a very basic gravel lot with not a lot of separation between sites, but you're not there for the sites...you're there for the caverns! Which are incredible and well worth the $20/person tour price. Even if you don't plan to see the caverns (but you totally should), this is a great spot to spend the night on what is otherwise a really desolate section of I-10.
