The sites themselves have gravel pads and decent-sized grassy areas to set up screen tents, etc. The transmitter for our loop is on the bathroom building and we have been able to work, including video calls, all week without any issues. The other loop has the older-style bathroom and shower house that looked clean but is showing its age.Įven though you probably could rely on your cell phones here due to good and great signals (Verizon and T-Mobile respectively), the campground also offers WiFi that is actually quite good. The loop we were in (on site 28) has a relatively new bathroom and shower house that is very nice. While the sites don't offer a ton of privacy, they are well-spaced for the most part and some of the loops have foliage behind the sites so you have a bit of a buffer there. It's quite peaceful and relaxing, especially with most sites unoccupied during the week. WOW, THANK YOU, JOHN!īlue Mounds State Park campground is located on tree-lined paved roads tucked in between a prairie and farmers' fields. He even opened a closed site to accommodate us. I messed up my reservation (I picked a tent camping location instead of a camper location), and a park employee (John) bent over backward to help us out. The town of Garretson is roughly a couple of miles away where you can resupply if necessary. They also have a balcony area on one picnic shelter that over looks the creek, swimming hole, and rock climbing area. They have an exceptionally large day area use location with huge playgrounds and covered picnic areas. They also have shear rock formations where climbers practice technical maneuvers and repelling. They had placed a dollar bill under the paw print, and the print was as large as the bill.They have walking trails and swimming locations (Rock Creek). We talked with a couple that lived ½ mile from the campgrounds, and they showed us a picture they took that morning of a paw print. FULL DISCLOSURE: There are mountain lions in the area no one has been bothered by them, though. While there (later part of March), we saw deer roaming throughout the park. I like the sound of trains this is a great campgrounds to hear horns and listen to those diesel engines power up. No problem getting the longest RV into these sites with room for that tow vehicle. As you would expect, facilities and camp sites are shut down to pit toilets and a handful of campsites.
