Same-day reservations are not available; tickets may be purchased in person on a first come, first served basis. Single-person tours are not offered; solo visitors should join an existing tour.
Visitors will descend about 100 stairs into the cavern and will climb the same stairs when exiting. Handrails are available along most of the stairway. The cavern environment is naturally wet, so stairs may be slippery. Closed-toe shoes with good traction are recommended. About one-third of the way through the cavern, there is a low section with a ceiling height of approximately 4 feet 3 inches. Guests must crouch to pass through this area on both the way in and out.
Full refund with 24 hours’ notice. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. No-shows are charged the full price. Cancellations within 24 hours may be rebooked to a different date. Online rebooking is allowed; prices may change.
226 Cascade Cavern, Boerne, TX 78015, United States
This spot has built a devoted following thanks to its naturally preserved feel and genuinely enthusiastic staff. Tour guides like Ireland, Stingray, and Dani get called out repeatedly for being knowledgeable and fun, clearly passionate about what they do. The cavern itself stays intentionally less developed than some commercial caves, meaning you'll explore with flashlights and navigate uneven paths with puddles, which most visitors find adds to the adventure rather than detracting from it. The wildlife sightings are a real bonus: bats hanging from the ceiling, cave salamanders, and other creatures make appearances regularly. Tours run about 45 minutes to an hour and feel intimate, sometimes with just a handful of people. Beyond the cave tours, there's a surprisingly nice RV campground on-site with full hookups, shaded spots, and wooded trails. The consensus is clear: this feels more like authentic exploration than a highly polished tourist attraction, and that's exactly what keeps people recommending it. Just know the natural terrain means it's better suited for those steady on their feet rather than very young kids or anyone with mobility concerns.
The rv sites are nicely shaded, with full hook-ups. The trails in the park are wooded and a fun place to enjoy nature. The park is quiet, not far from northwest San Antonio, and I would stay here again and again.
