Park Blue Mounds, Wis. Rating:
(three campfires out of five) Date: September 2006 Description: The park is situated among woodlands near the highest point in southern Wisconsin (more than 1,700 feet). This is the hilly unglaciated portion of the state. The campground is in a wooded area and is accessible to both RVs and tenters. Recreation: There are a variety of short day hikes or cross country ski trips. There are observation towers on each side of the top of the mound. They afford a stunning view. Privacy: There was a nice amount of foliage between sites. I recommend the first few tent sites (1 through 4). Alcohol: legal (?) Firewood: available at park entrance Reservations: Yes, but probably not necessary on this particular late September weekend. The Wisconsin reservation system is user friendly. Rants: The park is a little bit too close to Highway 18-151. There were a few too many vehicles whizzing by at all hours for this to achieve four campfires. It's difficult to re-create the wilderness experience with that much noise.
