The campsites are a bit pricey compared to other state parks, but they really are nice. Good set up and not too close together. Well paved road in and out. The shower house was nice as well. Can’t be being so close to the mining area. Terri’s Place in town was great for dinner.
Excellent campground well positioned campsites. Restrooms are clean, well taken care of. We stayed with the intention of digging for diamonds, worked out great. The only issue was the pool is closed Monday and Tuesday, wish it was open the whole time we were there. Pool, it's a pool with a few slides and water fountains, not a water park. Overall great campground.
This was a great location. The other guests were quiet and friendly. Everything was just right! The restroom and shower area was clean and nearby. I took my 74-year old neighbor and he had the time of his life! We walked along the park road at night and we were able to see the Milky Way. He had such an enjoyable experience. We even spotted 2 deer grazing!
The camp sites were clean. The bathrooms were easily located, clean, with hot water! The neighbors were respectful and decent. The walking trails were easily accessible with a pleasant end at the Little Missouri River with a bench, they were also paved. Electric outlets at the bathrooms to charge your phone. The wifi is spotty, but a nice feature. The water pumps are on at the camp site, don't forget to pump it a few times and turn it all the way up for water. While here also visit the town square, and a quick trip to Greeson Lake for additional dirt hiking trails and fishing.
This place is so peaceful and a fun little trip for those that like collecting rocks. Since you are parked right in the state park you can just walk over to the crater and do some gem stone searching. Then walk back home after to a peaceful and tree covered area. We loved it and am looking forward to coming back.
The campground is great, but the Wi-Fi is very flaky. They have a nice gift shop over at the mining area, and looking for a diamond is kind of fun. Definitely a great place to stay.
The campground is nice, a cool trail to the river, and a nice paved road make is better than most. If you are here for diamonds, you might be disappointed. The mine has been dug hard and often. You can tell a lot of dirt has been removed, and what remains is the gravel from millions of prospectors' boxes. It's still fun, though.
