slontwovvy Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I don't know of one in Ohio, but I do know of Eagle Cave near Richland Center, Wisconsin that allows something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdyer56 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Here in Tennessee, we have the Cumberland Caverns that allowed camping in it. I had a blast going when I was a scout. They even take you spelunking. Tim Dyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob White Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 There are some caves outside of Bloomington Indiana as well where you can spend the night. merritt, try asking at a district Roundtable. Perhaps others in your district have done this activity as well. Bob White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETAL_MS_SCOUTER Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 In the Tennessee area, I also recommend Raccoon Mountain Caverns just outside of Chattanooga. Great wild tour. I think the Cumberland Caverns (near McMinnville, TN) folks also administer some sort of national cave association and could provide a more complete listing.

scouter Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I'm from Columbus, Ohio. Our troop goes cave camping in Blue Springs Caverns in Bedford, Indiana. That cave is really interesting. You actually camp in the cave, you get to ride a boat on the underground river, and you get a guided crawling tour through the openings in the cave. Here is their website, not much other than a phone number: http://www.stonehengelodge.com/bluesprings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
