It was a nice cool morning end of April Go early in the day we found a picnic table in the shade to take a break. The ground can be slick just be aware… We are retired. Not great mobility, we enjoyed over 3 hours digging sifting meeting nice people. Didn’t find any diamonds but I would love to go back and spend the entire day. Bring snacks water to pack, you can bring folding chairs. Saw people who had wagons and their own sifters. Cheep to rent wagon, shovel,sifters, buckets… if you don’t have. (No chairs to rent). Stool for kneeling or sitting on would be useful, sun hat, water bottle for drinking. Nice gift shop and areas to rinse off when you’re finished. My shoes got soaked at the rinsing station. Wear something that can get wet. Could have brought a pick ax. The ground can be pretty hard. Great time! Planning a return trip next year We stayed in Hot Springs … 1 hour 10 minute drive to get there Had lunch when done at Terri’s Place In the town.

What a blast! From my senior mother to my toddler nephew, we all had so much fun digging for diamonds. No such luck this trip, but we'll be back for sure! The staff were all so helpful and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean considering the amount of mud outside. 5 stars, highly recommended!

This is an exceptionally well funded Park, phenomenal campsites, amazingly clean bathrooms, and well kept areas. The camp hosts are all friendly, courteous, and kind! The one sheriff deputy / park ranger who was shutting the gate to the crater while we were trying to find merely the camp grounds (take a left at the T-interection) was a little rude. I'm going to assume he had a trying day, and it was 5:36pm so I'm sure he wanted to go home... Other than that, amazing park! The Visit Center and the Crater awesome as well,
