Herkimer Diamond KOA - Herkimer, NY - KOA

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 new Diamond Hall of Fame, a fossil-sluice area, majestic themed Kottages and an 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 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 the activities during the Herkimer Diamond Mines' 54th Anniversary
