My first impressions of this site were terrible. The Bathrooms are extremely old and honestly seem like they're rotting down. The playground area is small but jot terrible. The area for rvs is pretty cramped with no privacy. Luckily while talking to some folks there they directed us on down the road. There are two more sections specifically for primitive camping that are really nice. There are a couple picnic tables and fire rings. There is also a nice pond. The cell signal isn't terrible but it's a bit hit and miss for internet.
Overall, I would suggest it but don't expect to use their showers or bathroom. Go a couple minutes down the road and use the state parks showerhouse. It's really nice.

Right on the lake in town Park , cash only and no reservations but can call camp host to see if a spot is open. Park has swimming, boat launch, disc golf, corn hole and much more highly recommend . Only $12 a night cash only,2 week max
ScoutWe booked one night here during a southwest roadtrip. I should have looked into the Google reviews because there weren't any on this app at the time. This "campground" sits directly beside a sketchy excuse of a "motel." Actually they are ran by the same people. The motel had multiple rooms with full windows busted out, large amounts of trash and junk piled everywhere outside (broken furniture, trash, scrap), the "pool" they advertise was empty with weeds growing up in it, and many long-term residents of the motel hanging out in the lot, on the second story, and going in and out of each other's open rooms. It looked like something straight out of a movie or TV show that was portraying a poor, rundown, drug-infested neighborhood. We drove past that and into the small campground area. It had lots of run-down campers with junk piled around them as well. I wish I had taken pictures because I couldn't believe how trashy this place looked. We made the decision not to stay there for the night. We were afraid our camper or truck would be broken into if we left them there. It was not somewhere we felt safe staying with our children. We found a much nicer and safer KOA down the road in Texarkana that was actually cheaper and stayed there instead. We may have lost the money we paid for a night at this place, but the peace of mind was worth it!

I keep coming back here to dig for diamonds. There are cheaper campgrounds in the area, but the State Park grounds are top notch. Very level camper pads, stable power and water and everything is well maintained. There are multiple bath “houses” — single shower room style privacy, not a large room with curtains. A playground in the sites for kids to play on also.
The only downsides that come to mind are the iffy WiFi (the reservation system is pretty accurate on which sites have “good” WiFi and which do not) that is decent for casual web browsing but not likely to be streaming possible. And then a mixed pro/com is that satellite connections (direct or Starlink) is going to be rough due to the wooded aspect of the sites — although the trees do help keep the camper cooler. 🤷🏻♂️
Traveler
We enjoyed this campground. Exterior sites are larger than the interior.
ScoutNo WiFi showers or other facilities for the $ it was ok.?..
TravelerThis is a quiet campground with plenty of shaded and nearly perfectly level pull ins. Power is consistent. Water pressure fluctuates from good to high — regulator necessary. Wifi is spotty, but the reservation center is pretty accurate on strength of WiFi at various sites. The site we are in right now, WiFi is sketchy.
In cool weather, a walk to the diamond field would be fine. In hot weather, no way.
Guide
Stopped in for a couple of nights. Power and water with a great view of the lake. Staff were wonderful and helpful. Would stay again if ever in the area.
GuideThis was on my wifes bucket list, didnt find any diamonds, got dirty but had fun and got dirty. Sites and bath house were nice , full hook ups
GuideThis camp is ideally located in the Crater of Diamonds State Park with easy access to the Visitors Center by foot or car. The campsites are well maintained and adequately situated to afford some privacy. There are 6 individual bathrooms with toilet, sink and shower, in the bathouse nearest to us that are modern and clean. The shower was "almost" hot.
The only negative is that the adjacent site's fire ring is too close to our back window and the smoke from a fire could enter our window.
This is our second stay at this park and we would definitely return.

Beautiful place to stay with the most amazing owners. So friendly, so attentive. The place is clean and peaceful. I will be staying here again and again!
Scout
We loved staying here! The view was beautiful, easy to find and drive to. We were able to get a spot right next to the boat ramp and the site had plenty of parking space for our camper, boat and truck. Only downfall: the bathrooms could be a little cleaner but they aren’t terrible and definitely usable.
Guide
Campground is very nice but like mentioned above is smelly. Beautiful lake with a lot of birds and fish active. Stayed along lake with water and power.
TravelerWe stayed late fall of '23 for about a week. This place was wonderful. Our site had water and 50 amp service. There was a dump station that was easy to get to and maintained. The bath house was very clean but dated. The showers were clean. There was a nice playground, public boat launch and I think there was an old unmaintained beach. Plenty of access to the lake that had amazing sunsets. The lake is large and dotted with oil derricks.
We got to play disc golf at their very nice public (free) 18 hole course. I've been carrying around the discs for years and never got to play. Now I'm hooked!
At double the price it was a bargain. We'll definitely stop again if we get through the area.
LegendYour choice, water and electric by the water or full hookups in the woods.
Scout
We arrived late, after midnight. It was super easy to find. Level pull spot. Thankful they called earlier in the day to tell me the spot #, because the envelope was not there. That was the only ding.
TravelerSpacious sites, and lots of privacy. We came through after a storm and they were without power. Crews we’re working to clean park and electricity was restored pretty quickly. Park was well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay.
TravelerI cannot say enough about this RV park. We came through very late (12 pm) gave her a call and she got us taken care of! Very clean, well maintained, full hook ups and lots of extras! Unfortunately we weren’t there very long (7 hours), but we will be back!
GuideThe campground is in a nice location next to the water. Great spot for the price. Has bathrooms, showers, lake access across the entirety of the campground, and a playground. Site 11 is perfect shade next to the water. Lots of bird watching decks.
Traveler
This park is awesome! All the facilities are clean!!! The park staff is always friendly and welcoming . The lots are spacious and well spread out. And most of all this place is peaceful! If you're looking for a chill spot to enjoy nature I would 100% recommend this one!
Guide
Great spot to stay overnight. Sights were a little close together but very easy to access. Full hookups and close to a lot of restaurant. Only downside is there are several potholes on the entrance to the campground. Have to go very slow
GuideExcellent staff who are accommodating. One night, full hookups was less than $40. Nice site. Close to a Pilot gas station and I-30.
LegendThe campground was decent and relatively close to the interstate without being a parking lost style camp ground. We typically love COE parks. The inner loops were very close together. Outside water side sites has more breathing room. Not sure why, but the campground smelled like a sewer line busted somewhere. It was awful if the wind wasn’t blowing in your favor.
Scout
This Place was really amazing and quiet and very primitive had a lot of woods has a great mascot called peanut that owners of the campsite are amazing very friendly and very helpful have plenty of things to go see that aren't too far away a 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to pretty much live off the land
