Great place to stay
I stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the time I was there. The grounds are nice and well maintained. The staff is very friendly. Stay 2 nights or longer and you can get a free demo of how to sift for diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds State Park, which is just down the road. They also lend out, for free, equipment to use to hunt for diamonds (if you stay 2 nights or longer).
I stayed at tent spot 2 and it was a great choice for staying in a tent, nice and shady. I car camp with an attached SUV tent and was able to have my set up arranged how I needed it. There were electric outlets at the site. The bathrooms were clean and air conditioned. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area. - BBrian K.

Return to the Crater
Campsites are spacious and can get noisy on the weekends. Security makes routine drive by rounds and very friendly. There is WiFi but kinda lousy and phone service is iffy. Bathrooms are ok but looks like they hose the floors and don’t mop and dry.

Great State Park to relax at
We stayed 3 nights and really like it here. Quiet and relaxing. Get to explore the diamond fields in the day. Fire pit at night. A few short walking paths. Kids had a great time meeting new kids. Dogs allowed at the diamond fields. Site 7 is uneven for a long 5th wheel. Other sites might be better, but we made it work.
