They’re beautiful, fun to find and the whole family can dig for them at Herkimer Diamond Mines, part of this KOA. Actually quartz crystals, the stones were faceted by nature half a billion years ago. Here, experience Upstate New York’s largest jewelry store, a museum with the Diamond Hall of Fame, a fossil-sluice area and authentic dinosaur skull, “Randy.” Enjoy a canal boat ride with “Lil” Diamond II at the Herkimer Marina. Go through a lock that lifts you up and down 20 feet on the Erie Canal. Cherish your heroes at Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall of Fame. Alongside KOA’s campsites, West Canada Creek offers trout and fun for canoeists, tubers, and kayakers. Dine at KOA’s on site cafe’, pavilion or Crystal Chandelier Restaurant. Join in activities during Herkimer Diamond Mines 53rd anniversary.

Take in all of the sights and activities that the Herkimer area has to offer by day. Return for a peaceful night in the comfort of a cozy log kabin.
Kamping in a Kabin is both easy and economical. All that is needed is bedding (sleeping bags or bed linens), cooking utensils and personal items: it's like tenting without a tent. If anything is forgotten, our KOA convenient store stocks most anything a kamper might need. We also have amenity bags equipped with linens for your pleasure and use.
Sleeps up to four people comfortably. Reservations are recommended.
