Cascade Caverns & Campground

Jessica Gonzales

So, y’all. My wife and I had hadn’t even heard of Cascade Caverns, we but saw a sign for it as we passed through Boerne. We’ve enjoyed a few other caverns (Carlsbad, Inner Space, and Natural Bridge) so we decided to visit on a whim. Cascade Caverns is a bit off the beaten path but well worth the visit. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. My wife and I arrived early enough to get our own private tour. Our tour guide, Ireland, was great and you could tell she really enjoyed her job and cared about the cavern’s preservation. Ireland encouraged and happily answered our questions. She took the time to ensure we remained safe. One of the great things about Cascade Caverns is that it retains much of its “natural” state, allowing visitors to navigate using flashlights. This makes the cavern tour feel more personal and individualized, a bit like you are exploring the cave by yourself.

If you’re looking to go spelunking with the best tour guides in the business, this is your place to be! The guide for our tour was very informative, and answered all questions posed to them by active children and adults. There are, however, several steps going down into the cave, and, of course, coming back up out of the cave. Some people may need to rest a bit on the way up, as going back outside, the heat hits like a wall in Texas. There is an area where you will have to crouch, and you will need to watch where you are going. Stalagmites and stalactites are clearly visible, and sometimes there are small cave-dwelling bats and salamanders.

Cascade Caverns was a lot of fun! Our tour guide "Stingray" was great; he was funny, well-informed, and genuinely fascinating. He made the tour entertaining and educational from start to finish. The actual cave is breathtaking, with remarkable rock formations and a refreshingly chilly atmosphere. For children of all ages, it is a great hobby and a unique chance to learn about nature. Seeing Cascade Caverns is an absolute must, especially when "Stingray" is your guide!

We had a wonderful experience during our visit. Our guide, Sebastian, was not only humorous but also highly knowledgeable, which greatly enhanced the tour. I was particularly impressed by how easily accessible and navigable the cavern was, and appreciated that it felt far less commercialized compared to other sites—specifically, I found this experience to be far superior to Carlsbad. I felt safe, well-informed, and that the experience was truly worth the cost. The atmosphere was relaxed, without overcrowding, and individual attention was given when questions were asked. The rock shop offered a remarkable variety of items that were genuinely worth browsing (i.e. stones) , and the opportunity to purchase a bag and pan for stones outdoors added a fun and interactive element. Overall, we had an absolute blast and will definitely be returning.
