Went on vacation to Oklahoma and found this digging up crystal thing to do. My son loves crystals and my daughter had a blast, as well. We found so many! I definitely recommend. I went during the summer which wasn't a good idea, it was really humid. I'd so go during the late fall time.

Great and fun place. So interesting and beautiful spots to camp. It was awesome to see so many pelicans at the dam. Camping, hiking, fishing, crystal digging. Fun for every age.

Cabins were amazing, beach was very unique (brackish water, never went above 3ft, stinky but therapeutic mud after sand ends), and crystal digging was fun! The cabins don't advertise all their amenities, so I'll fill you in (or you can just look at the pics with this review to see for yourself). They have a full kitchenette (minus a dishwasher), a full bathroom, dining table, tv w/ satellite service, a queen bed and a nice futon that folds into queen bed. On the outside, we had a water spicket, grill, and firepit. The staff we incredibly friendly and we'll definitely stay there again if we come back this way.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It is free to dig. It is a state park so there are camping areas. If you want good lodging options you probably need to look in Enid

If you are not camping, you will only need a park sticker for the vehicle. It cost nothing to dig crystals

what do i need to have to dig for crystals

J.R. Hahn | Sep 18, 2021
mathew fortney | Sep 19, 2021

You will need a shovel, sifter, and plenty of bottles of water! Dig a 1 ft deep by 1 ft across hole, pour water into it and feel with your hands for the crystals in the mud. Any other questions just let me know

Does the state park have sewer hook ups

Brian Remmenga | Aug 19, 2021
James Peace | Aug 20, 2021

They don't have full hookups but they do have a dump station, we didn't dump there because it looked too tight to get in but we have a 45' toy hauler. You will need to watch the trees overhead they hang low

How much does it cost to swim or dig for crystals? Do we need to bring our own garden shovel?

Savannah Johnston | Jun 16, 2018
Megan Roberts | Jun 17, 2018

It doesn't cost anything to dig for crystals; i dont know about swimming cause it was fall when we went. Definitely take shovels, bowls, egg cartons are great for holding the crystals, water is useful for washing everything. You'll need sunblock, sunglasses, hats; its super bright and hot on the plains.
