Best time to visit Mounds State Park
Late April through October is the most comfortable window for RV travel, with warm days, open campground amenities, and full access to the nature center and aquatic facility in summer. September and October bring cooler nights, lower humidity, fewer bugs, and strong fall color in the hardwood forest along the White River. Spring shoulder season can be wet, so travelers should expect muddy trails and occasional high river levels. Winter camping is possible in limited form but many seasonal services close, so RVers should confirm availability before arriving.

The van was great and exactly as advertised. Perfect vehicle for camping for 2 people and 2 dogs and it drives like a regular car. Chris was an awesome host; extremely helpful and made the renting process a breeze!

Best van ever and the hosts are so awesome. We rented the van to go to a music festival and not only did it have everything we need plus more, it was so cute and they did a great job adding special touches. The hosts were so accommodating, and we appreciate how cool they were/are :) thank you again!!!! Best van ever can’t say enough about how great our experience was.
