If you stay 2 nights with us at Murfreesboro RV Park you get free use of our diamond mining equipment. Our equipment is better quality and easier to use than the state park's equipment. If you rent equipment at the Crater, it can take up to 2 weeks to get your deposit credited back to your debit/credit card. If you pay with cash and lose your receipt, your deposit will not be refunded and you have lost that money. Paying to stay an extra night with us saves you money, gets you use of our superior equipment and we offer hands on diamond mining lessons at our on site sifting station.
