If everyone suddenly thinks its OK to drive here there and everywhere to go caving there very well are likely to be negative impacts
Compared to the number of people out walking and cycling, I very much doubt cavers will have any impact on visitor numbers or public perception. But obviously don't be a dick and probably avoid honey pot sites at peak times (unless you want to blend into the crowds).
