Endless Caverns

Special note: They have a designated dog area but it was a long trek down and uphill to get there. There wasn't much grass. It was a lot of weeds and who knows what else. Our dog ended up getting poison oak and we aren't sure if it was in the designated area or on the walk back to the RV. We didn't take him on any of the trails. It was also quite a hike to the dumpsters.

Wifi/Cell reception: Our cell phone reception was great but the wifi connection was bad. It wasn't really usable most of the time. We mainly used our AT&T hotspot.

Customer Service: The staff in the office were great and very friendly. When we first arrived they escorted us to our site. We ordered a lot of packages from Amazon while we were there and they actually delivered them to our door. 

Our favorite things to do in the area: Visiting wineries on the Shenandoah Wine Trail and Shenandoah National Park. We previously posted reviews of the wine trail and national park.

Favorite places to eat: Jackson's Corner Cafe. It is a little coffee shop with amazing coffee. We bought a bag of Crazy Fox Coffee- Hoot Owl Blend. It is so good. Wish I would have bought two bags. They also serve breakfast, lunch and have fresh scones daily. They had great chicken salad. We tried a couple other places in town like Kathy's Cafe and Southern Kitchen. Their food was about average but nothing special. 

The essentials coffee, tea & dark chocolate ;)

Chicken salad on wheat & chicken salad croissant

Grocery stores:  There is a small grocery store in downtown New Market. We wouldn't recommend it. It is more like a gas station selection of food. We drove to Harrisonburg which was about a 20 minute drive to go to Kroger.

The Cupcake Company in Harrisonburg has the most delicious cupcakes. These are strawberry cheesecake, grasshopper, oreo cookie and red velvet. 

Recommended: Definitely. One of our favorite places to stay so far. It was beautiful and peaceful. 

There are beautiful deer and chipmunks roaming around and at night you will be surrounded by fireflies.

Endless Caverns Tour

Chris and I decided to do the cavern tour today at our RV Park- Endless Caverns in New Market Virginia. If you have never seen caverns before you should definitely go see some sometime. These were nice but they were no Natural Bridge Caverns in Texas. We are staying at the campground so we got a discount and it was only $15 per person to get in.

Chris all bright eyed and bushytailed at the beginning of the tour

The tour was 75 minutes and it was nice and cool inside around 50 degrees. The ground was pretty slippery since it rained recently and we were glad we both wore our tennis shoes. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and open to questions.

Our tour guide was also full of cheesy jokes that were quite painful. He kept describing everything like it was food. For example one area looked like a sundae to him. Then he had to point out every detail of the sundae all the way down to the caramel drizzle on top. There was also a lot of bacon and then one area was Santa's sleigh or it could also be a bar with a full description of how it could be a bar.

Chris was loving those jokes!

At one point while the tour guide was talking someone let out the loudest fart. There were only 11 people on the tour and we all kind of looked around in disbelief. I think we were also all trying to figure out who did it. I kept hoping it was just a weird shoe sound on the slippery floor. Nope. I wasn't sure of this until later though when the guy started farting loudly again and his poor young son was saying "Dad stop".

The other thing is these caves are protected by law and you are not  supposed to touch anything except the hand rails. This guy kept touching and leaning on the walls every chance he got. What is wrong with people?

The best part of the tour was the end. Not only because we were glad to escape the bad jokes and farts but they actually had a little light show with some music at the prettiest part of the caverns.

Even though this probably sounds like we are complaining we both actually found the whole thing to be kind of funny.
