Blue Mounds

Blue Mounds is a lovely and quiet state park in the southwest corner of Minnesota. We stayed for two nights at their campground. The sites are well spaced and provided ample room for our truck and 25-foot trailer. Sites have electric hookups only, but water is available throughout the camp ground. There is also a dump station available. Our site was reasonably level and only required a little help. The campground has private shower stalls, which were clean and well maintained. The water was very hot, which was nice since the temps were in the 40s during our stay. The park has several miles of relatively flat and easy trails. We enjoyed hikes both days, even with the cooler weather. The park also has a 6-mile bike trail that riders can follow into town. We didn't get close views of the Bison, but we did see them in the distance. Overall, this was a lovely state park, and we will likely return when. The weather is a little nicer.

Friendly ranger station, clean sites, all the regular state park amenities. Nice long hiking loop (2 to 10 miles, depending on the route you take) with great prairie vistas. The buffalo weren't out but it was only mid May.

Came here for the black friday, free park day. It was a chilly day, but the beauty of the park and surrounding area still had much to offer! We only saw a couple Buffalo, but on the trail I saw a bunch of deer, and my pooch koda sniffed out some ground squirrel holes...he didn't get to say hi to any though. I would highly recommend a visit to blue mounds state park!! Maybe try a nicer day though:)

Beautiful park, has a couple trails, nice observation booth to view the Bison. Good size heard and they hung out near the fence line so we had good view of them. Small daily entry fee, plenty of parking and restrooms.

We had a great stay at Blue Mounds State Park in Sep 2024. This is an excellent campground, with roomy sites, picnic tables, fire pits, clean restrooms & showers. Sites are private, quiet, level & have electricity. We filled our freshwater at one of many spigots in the campground and we used the dump station before leaving. We had a great hike on the 6.2 mile Hiking Club Trail. There was more to explore than we had time for - we should have planned to stay extra days. The town of Luverne is quaint and they have all the services you need. We would have liked to visit some of the museums and galleries. We did have a fantastic Mexican dinner and were able to grocery shop as well. We definitely recommend this campground and would gladly return again.
