Crystal Gold Mine & RV Park in Kellogg, ID is a great place to stop over for a few nights. Visitors can enjoy a fun gold mine tour and explore the gift shop. The friendly staff make the experience even better. The park is conveniently located near a small town and there are many nature attractions to see in the area. The mine tour is especially recommended for children. There is some road noise from the nearby interstate, but the campgrounds are surrounded by trees. Despite the noise, its a good location to stay for mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts.
From The Campground
The Crystal Gold Mine is an authentic 1880's underground gold mine tour located near Kellogg, Idaho. It was one of the first hard rock mines in the Silver Valley, worked during the 1880s, closed by hiding the mine, rediscovered in 1991, reclaimed in 1996, and opened as a tourist historical attraction. The guided underground tour explains how they drilled with 'Hand Steels' using 'Single Jacks' and 'Double Jacks' (Hammers), how they traced the quartz vein using 1880 methods, and how they tested the vein for gold. Beautiful stalactite crystals of smithsonite in an array of colors coat the walls. Gold and wire silver can still be seen in the quartz vein. The campground offers full hook-ups, pets are welcome, and there is easy I-90 access.
