Mounds State Park

About

Mounds State Park is located off I-69 east of Anderson in Madison County, Indiana. The campground provides 75 electric campsites arranged in loops, with sites accommodating RVs up to 61 feet depending on the specific site. Amenities include modern restrooms, a shower house (seasonal operation late March through November), dump station, and a camp store selling firewood, ice, and seasonal concessions. ADA-accessible sites are available at sites 48 and 50. The park is named for its 10 remarkable earthworks constructed by prehistoric Adena-Hopewell people, making it both a camping destination and an archaeological site. The Great Mound, the largest earthwork, is nearly a quarter mile in circumference. Visitors can explore the interpretive center to learn about the builders and their culture, hike trails along the White River, and fish in the river. Recent improvements for 2026 include gravel pads installed on all campsites in the Black Cherry Loop (sites 1-60), new sinks and fixtures in the facilities, and an ADA playground being installed with completion expected by July 2026. Reservations are available through the Indiana State Parks reservation system online or by phone.
