About Blue Mounds Campground

Natural Features and SceneryBlue Mounds State Park is known for its **tallgrass prairie**, **free‑roaming bison herd**, and dramatic **Sioux quartzite cliffs** up to about 100 feet high.[1][4] The cliffs are pinkish rather than blue, forming a striking backdrop over open prairie, seasonal wildflowers, and rolling grassland.[1][4] Campers mention wide open skies, beautiful sunsets, and long views across prairie from both the campground and nearby overlooks.[1][3][4] Trails from the camping area quickly reach prairie, rocky outcrops, and cliff‑edge vistas.[1][3]

Good to know

Common complaints• **Trail signage and maps**: Several TripAdvisor reviewers describe trail junction maps as confusing, lacking clear “you are here” indicators, making navigation frustrating for first‑time visitors.[1] • **Flies and insects**: At least one detailed camping review mentions “a ton of flies” at the campsite during the first day and recommends bringing a fly swatter.[1] • **Some highway noise**: Because the campground runs along MN‑75, a reviewer notes you may hear some traffic, especially at sites closer to the road.[1] • **Park layout/signage generally**: One visitor felt the park’s wayfinding was poor overall and reported unhelpful initial guidance at the entrance.[1] Overall, complaints are relatively minor compared with the number of positive comments about the campground and scenery.[1][3]
