A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Mound Valley sits on the clear water of Big Hill Lake in southeast Kansas, roughly five miles east of Cherryvale in the region locals call the Little Ozarks rolling hills of oak-hickory forest that drop down to a shoreline shaded by timber and open prairie beyond. The campground offers direct access to the lake's recreation: boating and trailers can be launched from the on-site ramp and parking area, anglers will find Big Hill a productive fishery for largemouth bass, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, bluegill, walleye and smallmouth bass, and families can cool off at the alcohol-free, sand-covered swim beach with a change house.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.

“Beautiful. Peaceful. Nearly level pad. Water at every site. Path down to waters edge. Park attendant even brought a little firewood when he made his rounds. Will return. ”
“First there was no water at a fifty amp site. Really!!! To many sites without water. Very good shade. The weeds and underbrush does not need to be there It would a much better place if it was cleaned up.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (20,425 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
