The most unique park in the U.S. because no where else can you search for genuine diamonds and keep what you find. Many other mine specific stones are minerals are also found there. Not everyone finds a diamond, only about one percent are lucky. Average size is less than one quarter of a carat but even small diamonds can be worth the trip and the thrill of finding one is priceless. Although most found are small, now and then, a multi carat stone is found, many of them by surface hunting. However, most "regulars" find lots of nice diamonds by washing multiple 5 gallon buckets of dirt. Wash tanks are furnished at the mine and interpreters are available to help you identify your finds.

It's definitely a "work-cation" of the vacation types so I feel like now I need a Spa-cation or something a little more relaxing but we'll worth wild doing. The only reason I say work-cation is because you are carrying your equipment and stuff with you. You're also digging for diamonds so it's outside and all that. I had my 3 fur-babies with me and we stayed by a mud hole so they could keep cool during all our fun. They let you bring your own equipment or you can buy or rent it from there so it really just depends on how much you want to plan ahead for and bring or spend and not worry about. Which I love because then it doesn't matter what your budget is this is still something very doable for everyone and hey you might find a diamond! I also appreciated the wash off area and the wagon rental made things much easier. Don't forget to take your picture in front of their sign, it even has a phone holder so you just need to set the camera timer and pose that way everyone is in the picture.

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,
