About Blue Mounds State Park

Blue Mound State Park is located in the Blue Mountains of North Carolina, south of Fort Worth, Texas, about 30 miles north of Dallas.

This 1,153 hectare park is a great place to find solitude in the mountains, with many hiking, camping and hiking trails. Blue Hill is open all year round and has a wide range of campsites, from wooded pitches to campsites with picnic tables and fireplaces. Each cabin has a picnic table and campfire, toilets and water fountains are located on each campsite.
Modern buildings with toilets and showers are located opposite (30) and two electrical installations are suitable for disabled people (2).

You must register your tent and pay for the entrance fee before setting up camp. As the visitor station is closed on arrival, you can use the self-registration station.

Reservations for family camping are accepted, but the number of people on each campsite is limited. If there is a separate group camp at Blue Hill, organized groups can also make reservations and camp there.

Some parts of the campsite are open all year round, and some parts are only open in the summer months, such as July, August, September and October.

Firewood and tap water are available, and two electrical installations have been excavated for the winter. Some have no electricity, but power lines have been laid on construction sites 28 and 32 and at some other sites.

Campsites and cabins can be adapted for disabled guests and offer access to Blue Mound State Park swimming pool and other amenities. The swimming pools are open with permission, but they have not been built yet because there are so few swimming facilities in the area. BlueMound State Park is one of the most popular parks in North Carolina with more than 2,000 visitors per day.

The pool is L-shaped and has two separate swimming and diving areas, one in the middle of the pool and the other on the ground. The pools are separated by a 1.5 foot wide, 1 foot deep pool, and the depth varies from 3 feet in shallow areas to 11 feet for the diving area. A pool chair lift helps visitors with physical disabilities reach the pool at Blue Mound State Park. It is heated and maintained at 79 - 80 degrees Celsius and is accessible to all visitors, not only disabled people or under 18 years.

The lift is water-powered and is designed for own use, but the chair can be rotated 90 degrees to improve accessibility for deckchairs and wheelchairs.

The bathroom is fully accessible and the adjacent bathhouse offers a dressing room with shower and shower cabin, as well as a bathtub, showers and showers for guests.

The pool area also includes a paddling pool for younger visitors, but the lifeguards are not in use and there is no paddling pool. The large sunbathing area offers sunbathers plenty of space to sunbathe in and around the solarium and access to a large pool with pool house and picnic area.

Children should be supervised by a parent or other responsible person at all times, including on the lawn and in other areas of Blue Mountain State Park.

Blue Mound State Park offers a range of beautiful and relaxing picnic options, and efforts are being made to raise funds to replace the pool. The observation tower is located on the south side of the park, south of Blue Mountain Road. In the area of the Blue Hills there are a variety of viewpoints as well as a picnic area near the lake.

The tower is equipped with an orientation meter that helps you to determine the location of different cities and geological features. From the top of the tower you can enjoy the view of the Blue Hill and the surrounding countryside, which is hundreds of meters high.

The horseshoe farm is located on the north side of the main house and the play equipment and sandpits are located near the picnic area, the refuge and the campsite. The trees along the south side and in front of it you can enjoy the gentle landscape, the gentle hills and gentle valleys as far as the eye can see. A tree on a picnic area on the north side provides a view of the surrounding area, which also offers those who cannot climb the observation tower a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape, as well as the observation tower.

Blue Mound State Park offers a number of beautiful outdoor facilities for hire, including a picnic area, campsite, horseshoe farm and sandpits, and a water park.
