The State Park at Murfreesboro is called Crater of Diamond State Park. We visited there last year during our cross country maiden voyage and had a great time there. Although I didn't have any luck in finding any diamond, but the experience is one that I'll never forget.

The State park has woodsy full hookup campground and is only $15/night with lots of room and privacy between sites. There is a beautiful trail you can walk to the river. The crater is open at 8am and you can dig all day for $7.

I have yet to visit any crystal mine there, but it's definitely on the list. I am also intrigued and would love to visit Sheffield Mine for emeralds in Franklin, North Carolina. Has anyone been to Franklin? Is there any RV park at any of the mines?

Ray, thank you for sharing the experience.

cheers,
Cat
