Highlights

  • Family-Friendly: The campground is particularly favored by families, with facilities such as a nice playground that's easily accessible from all campsites.
  • Access to Nature: Enjoy trails that vary from easy to slightly rugged, offering a wonderful opportunity for kids and beginners to explore the outdoors.
  • Proximity to Activities: Connected to a park that offers a range of activities such as hiking along the White River and exploring ancient mounds.

Important Considerations

  • Noise Levels: The campground is adjacent to the Anderson Municipal Airport and close to a railway, which means air and train traffic may be heard during your stay.
  • Amenities: There is one central shower house and several water spigots conveniently located around the site, with electric-only hookups available.
  • Campsite Sizes: Campsite sizes vary, with some being spacious and others more compact; be prepared to have leveling blocks as the ground may not be perfectly flat.

Mounds State Park Family Campgrounds exude charm and beauty, making it a splendid choice for a weekend getaway or a longer stay in nature. While the tranquility might be occasionally interrupted by nearby transportation, the park's staff and the breathtaking scenery make up for it.
