What others are saying about this campground
Crater of Diamonds State Park is a unique campground located within walking distance of the only diamond mine in the United States. The park was established in 1972 “to responsibly manage and interpret this unique site and to provide a meaningful diamond mining experience for all guests and future generations.” The campground is set among beautiful pine and oak trees and offers full hook-up sites large enough to fit most RVs. The visitor center has interactive exhibits highlighting the unique history of the park and geology of Arkansas diamonds. The park also features a childrens waterpark area, hiking trails, and a swimming pool. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, BBQ grill, and lantern post. WiFi is unreliable, but the park is in the process of adding reliable internet. Satellite reception is difficult due to the tree cover, but the park does not offer cable. The best time to take a trip to the Arkansas diamond fields is after a heavy rainstorm. The campground is conveniently located near shops in town featuring geologic specimens and all manner of antiques, as well as a Sonic, a Dollar General, a small grocery store, and a gas station. The park is big rig friendly and offers senior discounts. The camp hosts are not very friendly, but the facilities are well maintained and the roads are smooth. The park is a great place to relax, explore, and search for diamonds.
