It has been a while since we have been camping. Living off the grid and camping is two different things regardless of what some think. So, we got up Monday morning and headed back to the hill country to camp out for a couple days. We decided to go to Sonora Caverns Park because when we went to the cavern we saw that they had a nice campground there.
The temperatures were surprisingly comfortable compared to what they usually are in the area. I think a cool front had come in. It was nice and breezy plus the area we stayed had a lot of trees. We saw a few wild animals such as deer, a few dove and an armadillo. We also went to sleep each night to the sound of an owl in a tree nearby. The campground also had Guinea hens and peacocks who would beg for food every time we ate. They would even eat out of my hand.
It was a very relaxing place to stay, very quiet and peaceful. The caretakers for the park checked on us every day and asked if we needed anything. It was unlike any place we had stayed before because they would not allow us to pay until the end of our stay. Most places won't even allow you to pitch a tent until they have money in their hands.
The campgrounds were nice and well kept. There was also hiking trails and beautiful scenery. The only bad thing was we had no phone service unless we walked to the top of a hill. They also had wi-fi which many people need or want all the time. Camping was only $15 per night so that was a great deal. Water and electric was available as well as close bathrooms and showers. We can't wait to stay there again.
