If you want a uncrowded cave try Blanchard Caverns (USFS) in Arkansas.
While not a National Park or Monument, my favorite cave tour was at Caverns of Sonora in Texas. A beautiful, wet cave. Only 3 of us on the tour by the owner. They have a somewhat primitive campground (water & electric). I now see more advertising for the cave, so things might have changed, but it is still the prettiest cave I've been in.
And, for those that are thinking of bypassing the EBR-1 reactor site in Idaho, you won't get to see the atomic powered airplane engines parked out front. Designed to power an airplane (that was never built) in the air for days.
