Located on the West Cada Creek, Kampgrounds of America’s Herkimer Resort has an on-site mine where campers can try their luck finding a unique type of quartz that looks like a faceted diamond. The resort has the largest jewelry store in Upstate New York. In addition, there’s a sluicing area where you can uncover fossils and gemstones.
Campers with an interest in geology will have a great time exploring the fossils and minerals found both in the on-site mine and the resort’s gift shop. You’re sure to take home a specimen to remember your stay at Herkimer Resort. The resort has other fun activities like a cal boat ride, Miners’ Table restaurant and fishing on the West Cada Creek. They also offer crafting activities like designing jewelry, making T-shirts and building windmills.
