Is there places to camp along the trail? We are wanting to camp on the trail to enjoy some time on the mountain. Coming from Texas.
I know there is camping at 'Angel of Shavano Campground' and found this "if you drive just past the main trailhead for Shavano/Tabeguache, there is a wide open area with a lot of space to camp." Looking for something just below tree line.
This leads to another question. What about parking while one trail? Can you park at trail head for a few days?
Lost our leader and just trying to figure this out. Taking a group of high school students with a wide verity of fitness levels. That is another reason to camp along the trail. Make the summit shorter for those who need it.
Thanks for any guidance.

Re: Camping along or near Shavano Trail Close to Tree line
There is really nice camping right off the trail about 1.5 or 2 miles up the trail. It is in the trees right next to a stream. Its a big area that sees a lot of use. You can park at the trailhead for as long as you want. It's a good size parking lot with lots of room.
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer.
