The Blue Mound campground is open year-round and offers 77 wooded sites, 12 bike/hike-in sites and a rustic accessible cabin for people with disabilities.
Each site, including the cabin, has a picnic table and a fire ring. Toilets and water fountains are conveniently located throughout the campground. Two electric sites are accessible for people with disabilities. A modern flush toilet/shower building is across from site 30.
Accessible Sites: Sites 28 and 32 are handicap accessible sites. Both sites have electrical hook-ups, accessible fire rings and a hard-surface path that leads to the toilet/shower building. Site 28 is a hard surface. These campsites and cabin can be reserved by visitors with disabilities and provide access to the barrier-free bathroom with shower.
Bike-Hike Sites: These sites are between the Military Ridge State Trail and the Blue Mound Family Campground. New for 2020 all these sites are reservable.
No cars are allowed at these sites and visitors must hike-in or bike-in to camp.
We enjoyed a day trip to this park in May. Our kids (6 and 4) enjoyed climbing both towers—the views are well worth it. We took a short hike and enjoyed all the wild flowers as well as large boulders by the trail. The vault toilets are kept clean and maintained. There is a very nice playground and picnic area. We visited midweek and saw less than 10 people. It’s a quiet and peaceful gem of a park and is such an easy drive from Madison.
It is a very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing place. We stayed in their camping for a couple of nights, and it was a pleasure of tranquility! I like their interesting hiking and biking trails very much.
One of the best state parks in Wisconsin! Great trails, views, and amenities (thanks to the active Friends group).
Very nice and quiet campground. First time here and we definitely would come back. We had site 33 and it was very shaded and clean. The bathroom/shower area was always clean and the cleaners were very polite. The east and west towers had amazing views. There's also a small nature center that was nice to go into and learn something. Playground was nice and seemed well maintained.
Camp Site #22 is very nice and away from road noise. The sites are a little bit close together, so you will definitely see and hear your neighbors, so if you have good ones, great! If you have ones with dogs and kids, there's going to be noise. And this is a great campground for kids because there is the nearby Cave of the Mounds attraction, which is why we stayed here. We don't have kids and haven't been to this attraction, so we didn't know it is mainly meant for children. We hiked up to the towers and had great views. During fall when the leaves are changing this is a beautiful place to camp. There is a nearby general store that sells fire-starter, which came in really handy because most of the wood was wet and the Camp Host sign said they had fire-starter, but there wasn't any in the storage area where all the wood was kept. We had a great time biking the trails, going to nearby Military Ridge State Trail, and seeing one neighbor's starry light show at night in their campsite. The bathroom near Site #22 was the biggest, cleanest, and most well-maintained in all the State Parks we've camped in. All in all, a great family campground.
