How many floors does the Skull Cavern have?

The Skull Cavern in Stardew Valley has no fixed end or bottom, making it effectively infinite, though it's limited by the game's maximum integer size (over 2 billion floors) and your real-life time. You descend by finding ladders or holes, similar to the regular Mines, but deeper levels yield better loot, especially Iridium, making it an endgame challenge for endless exploration.

Can you use tents in Skull Cavern?

No, you cannot use tents inside the Skull Cavern because they only work outdoors, but you can use them right outside the entrance in the Calico Desert to get a significant head start and sleep there overnight after warping out, allowing you to enter the cavern at 6 AM with full energy. This "base camp" setup saves time by letting you bypass the morning travel to the desert and start diving immediately, maximizing your time for reaching deeper levels.
