Ace of Diamonds Mine & Campground

I called and booked ahead of time knowing I'd arrive late and leave early, which was absolutely no problem, so I'm very thankful for that. I paid over the phone, was given clear instructions on where to park, and was told to enjoy my stay. This location is great if you're in a van or RV and need a quick place to stay for the night in this area of NY in mid- / late-October (because it seems NY closes its state parks quite early) or if you're here for the rock-hunting. From what I could see late at night (which honestly wasn't much) I wouldn't recommend for tent-camping as the sites were quite close to each other and not much soft ground for sleeping.

Not a good place to camp unless you are also there for the quartz. I was put at a lower site that was cramped and wet. My fault for not checking before going. The other review was a site on the upper road so I thought it would not be too bad. Either those were full or they just gave me a crappy site.

Best for tents, camper vans or really small RV. Electric and water only on lower sites. Very steep driveway.

Very busy during the day. But great diamonds to find!
