RV campgrounds around Blue Mounds, Wisconsin offer diverse options within 30 miles of the town's signature geological feature, which rises 1,716 feet above sea level. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-85°F and winter bringing significant snowfall that affects seasonal campground operations. Many campgrounds close from mid-October through mid-April due to freezing temperatures.
What to do
Fishing at nearby lakes: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to water recreation. At Arrowhead RV Campground, "There is a nature trail within the campground," and it's located a "short drive to the attractions of Wisconsin Dells and several state parks," according to Jerry S.
Local race events: Racing enthusiasts can catch regular events close to campgrounds. "Don't forget the racetrack across the way has races Saturday night," notes Tim R. about Arrowhead RV Campground, making it ideal for motorsport fans.
Craft activities for children: Many campgrounds offer supervised creative outlets. At River Bend RV Resort, there's "a kids barn with crafts" among many amenities, and the campground features "four wheel bikes to take out, jumping balloon, pool with multiple water slides, pond with blow up floating slides and climbing activities," as described by Darren L.
What campers like
Clean facilities and grounds: Campground cleanliness ranks high in positive reviews. "Pride of ownership was evident throughout" at Rustic Barn Campground RV Park, which features "58 sites with various amenities including long pull-throughs and both 30 and 50-amp electrical options." Thomas R. confirms this impression: "Great sites, clean restrooms and showers, super owners."
Quiet camping options: Some campgrounds maintain peaceful atmospheres despite their proximity to attractions. At Country Roads Motorhome & RV Park, one reviewer appreciated that it was "Quiet, all drive-thrus, reasonable rates, very close to the dells, clean bathhouse," making it an "adult campground prime location."
Proximity to attractions: Locations near both natural and commercial attractions receive praise. "This campground is only 10 to 15 minutes from everything that you would want to do in the WI Dells," writes Megan P. about Arrowhead RV Campground, noting they also enjoyed "riding the Original Wisconsin Ducks Boat Tour."
What you should know
Campground flooding issues: Some properties experience seasonal water problems. At Blackhawk Camping Resort, one camper reported: "The field that they park the 'weekly' guests in has been flooded so long that a bazillion tadpoles swim in multiple campsites. The dump station has also been flooded for three years."
Extension cord requirements: Electrical hookups may require additional equipment. "Make sure you bring 50 ft of electrical cord and water hose," advises Travis I. about Arrowhead RV Campground, adding "They do offer to barrow their extension cords" if needed.
Campsite leveling challenges: Not all sites are naturally level. At Fox Hill RV Park, one camper noted: "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level. That made the first step into the coach, and last step out of the coach extremely high off the ground."
Tips for camping with families
Free activity options: Look for campgrounds with included amenities to maximize value. Yukon Trails Camping Resort offers "Amazing events every weekend!" according to Jen V., who also mentioned "Water and electric hookup on each site!" Dawn A. adds that "Hosts provide plenty of activities like a DJ, breakfast, and lunch and donuts!"
Water features for summer heat: Swimming amenities prove crucial during warm months. At Fox Hill RV Park, "The kids loved the blow ops in the pond. The pool was nice, but a bit colder than the pond. It's heated with a solar cover," writes Joan.
Family-friendly programming: Structured activities keep children entertained. Nick C. describes Yukon Trails Camping Resort as a "Hidden Gem" with "amenities similar to the larger resort campgrounds but keeps a charming in the woods campground feel," adding they "enjoyed the playground, swimming pool, and Friday Fish Fry."
Tips from RVers
Site selection priorities: Choose campsites based on specific needs rather than general location. At Rustic Barn Campground, Carl F. noted: "I wish we would have booked a back in site, because they were wonderfully shaded and appeared easy to back into."
Wi-Fi connectivity varies: Internet access differs significantly across campgrounds. At Nature's Touch Campground, facilities include a game room with "Several retro games plus billiards," but connectivity may vary.
Seasonal traffic patterns: Expect varying crowds depending on when you visit. At River Bend RV Resort, one reviewer observed: "Holiday weekends get a little crazy, in both good and bad ways. WiFi was great in some areas, Non-existent in others. No cell carrier works well here at all."
