Brigham County Park — Hotel in Town of Blue Mounds

This park is a pleasant alternative to camping at Blue Mound State Park (which is just a couple of miles away). Brigham is located on a high ridge and offers some great views of the surrounding countryside.Most of the park is thickly wooded, primarily with mature oak, maple, and hickory. It has a variety of campsites, from large open sites located on the edge of prairie restoration, to intimate sites tucked away in thick woods. There is also a group camping area. Only three sites have electricity. The bathrooms are in good condition, but there are no shower facilities. Water is available at several sites scattered around the park. In addition to camp sites, there are also picnic areas with shelters and playground equipment.

Brigham County Park, in Dane County WI, west of Madison, and near Mt Horeb & Cave of the Mounds in Wisconsin's Driftless Area has always been my favorite county park in the USA since discovering it as a university student around 1970. It has a small campground, picnic area and even smaller playground. On a clear day, the views to the north into the Wisconsin River valley are stunning, and even better during autumn. Nearby areas are filled with contour-plowed and planted corn fields, dairy farms and other spectacular sights. It's a great basecamp for visiting Cave of the Mounds, Bluemound State Park, House on the Rock, Epic Intergalactic Headquarters, Taliesin and so much...
