Indiana State Park Review #2 - Mounds State Park (Anderson)

We have visited Mounds State Park (near Anderson) as a homeschool group hiking around the Indian mounds, but finally had an opportunity as a family to camp here last Memorial Day weekend.  We had super hot weather, but still managed to enjoy a hike or two.

Sites:  The campground is much smaller than some campgrounds, but the sites are a nice size.  Plenty of room for our dog and kids without feeling too crowded.  There are nice, paved drives at each site.

Facilities:  The comfort stations were not as modern as some campgrounds, but they could've been worse.

Activities:  This campground is built on the site of ancient Indian mounds.  The Interpretive Center has much history about these Woodland Indians and several of the trails pass by some of the mounds sites. 

The White River passes through this state park, so fishing is an option.  They also have a nice pool at the campground complete with a diving board.  (We spent a day there because it was so hot and humid the weekend we were there!)  The roads are decent for biking as well.

Because of the historical significance of this state park, they generally have an Archeology Weekend here and other historical events.  Just check the calendar when you book your site.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this campground a 10 because it has a little of everything.
