I was wondering has anyone been to clarksville cave in clarksville, NY? Specifically I was interested in how crowded it is. How far you can get without crawling on elbows and toes. and is there camping within a few miles of it? Thanks a lot guys
 
I've been to clarks ville many times.... It's very cool....Ther are basically 2 roots you can take the high road and the low one they run paralell to each other and end up at the back room where there is a really nice pond. the high road is dry but you spend most of the time on your belly. the other route is walkable but you spend most of the time knee-to waist deep n water, (well worth the trip) another great cave which is very close to that is Knox cave (about 20 minutes from Clarksville) it is dryer and has really large cavernous rooms you can play around in THere is a long descent down a rusty ladder which is spooky but the cave is cool. I've seen people in clarksville on rare occasion but never in knox whichever you do be sure to contact the necc before you go so you can obtain the proper forms and let them know your plan, incase tshtf, also if you've never been caving before bring extra flashlights and batteries, if you light goes out down there is now chance of getting out until a rescue party comes. most of all have fun and good luck letme know what happens.....(lots of bats in Knox cave)
