Crater of Diamonds Arkansas State Park
Our family took the long way home from Illinois to Florida just to make a side trip to this amazing state park in Arkansas. The Crater of Diamonds State Park located in Murfreesboro, Arkansas is one the few places in the world where the general public can dig for diamonds.

My older son kept…

But for our first camping trip we chose a state park in Georgia, Reed Bingham State Park. (gastateparks.org/ReedBingham) This was the perfect option for us to try our camper out.

The parking space for our camper was generous with a lot of space between us and other campers. …
