Campground Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Blue Mound State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trip is an out-and-back of about 0.38 miles, with a high point of 1,490 feet and a low of 1,478 feet. The total climb is only 47 feet, so it's a flat, low-effort outing. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 28°F and lows near 7°F. That station sits well below the park, so temperatures on the mound run cooler. The Campground Trail and Military Ridge Trail Access both lie about 0.3 miles away, and the Pool Trail is at a similar distance. Paddlers can find the East Branch Pecatonica River about 4 miles off.
