I don't know of any caves on public land that would allow it. There are some in the Alton area along the riverfront that we used to have all night keg parties in. Unfortunately they have recently fenced or filled all the entrances and I think police patrol pretty regularly. They weren't actual caves but massive abandoned limestone mines. I've never heard of anybody cave camping unless you count passing out in one after one too many keg stands.

Why would anybody want to camp inside a cave?

I consider myself a pretty astute observer of the human condition and after years of study I've concluded that some people seem to like different things than I do. It's weird, but I'm convinced it's true.

But that doesn`t answer my question as to why someone would camp inside a cave.

Not sure why you'd want to camp outside.  I have this thing called a house I camp in.  It keeps me dry and cool/warm, which ever I need.
