FAQ
CAVES HAVE OWNERS. Please respect their property and privacy. Make sure you obtain permission before caving. If in doubt about cave status or access, consult the TAG Closed/Restricted Caves List or talk to someone at the Cave Information Booth. Be discrete when changing clothes. Do not park vehicles so that they block roads or driveways. Leave gates as you find them. Pick up trash in or around the cave. Cave softly and smart.
RESCUE AND FIRST AID SERVICE are available at the Rescue and First Aid Tent located next to the munchie stand. The tent is staffed 24 hours a day. Always notify someone of your plans before going caving.

NO BOMBS of any sort are allowed at the Cave-In. If it goes boom, it is a bomb and if caught making or setting off a bomb, you will be asked to leave the Cave-In. Repeat offenders could be banned from the Cave-In for life. Air horns and other loud noisemakers are prohibited, as are generators.

Please set up tents at least 30 feet off roads for efficient use of camping areas. Do not cut down or put nails in trees.
