Mound View Park & Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Mound View Park sits within Platteville's city limits, directly across the street from the high school, and the campground reflects that urban setting. Sites are essentially parking spots along a shared area, with some spots having electric and water hookups and others not. At $15 to $20 per night, the price is low. Campers visiting in mid-June have reported significant gnat activity. Those planning a stay should also note that the reservation system has been unclear in practice, which has caused conflict between campers on-site. The park runs May through September and allows pets. For a broader look at the region, campgrounds near Platteville include options with more defined site layouts and amenities.

Avoid at all costs!

This is a small park in Platteville, across the street from the high school. First thing is that the gnats were horrible - we couldn't even sit outside at all (we were there mid June). The second thing I would add is that there really aren't sites, just parking spots along an area where some can access electric and water and some not.

The sign says no reservations yet we were parked and planning to tough it out when we had an aggressive knock on our camper door around 10pm. There was a guy with a huge camper, visibly angry, shaking his finger at me that we were in his camping spot. Mind you, there are no reservations, which to me means if you aren't physically in the spot, then it's fair game. He said his daughter came earlier in the day, paid, and put a slip on the post. I looked closely at the post and sure enough - again, there are no reservations at this park...

Given the visible anger, we decided that the path of least resistance was the way to go. We packed up and promptly left. And we will not be back...
