Cairo is in the path of totality for the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017 for approximately 2 minutes and 34 seconds. We have a couple of unique camping opportunities for those visiting the area. A pasture just North of Cairo with 360 degree views is offering dry camping for $50 per night as well as viewing opportunities.
The Village of Cairo also has a few spaces open to park your camper with full electricity.
Please contact Charity Adams at 308-379-9119 to book either of these options.
