Hardridge Creek

Nice weekend, lots of ants.

Great campground! Everyone was exceptionally nice. The lake is beautiful. I will definitely go back. With that said, there are LOADS of ants so be prepared to spray your rv, truck and everything you take. We keep a sprayer with us and use as needed inside and out so we don’t take home any unwanted guests.

Great campground, just seems to be less and less upkeep. Our campsite had overgrown grass, almost knee high, grill had not been cleaned out and fire pit was full of cigarette butts and other debris. Ants are awe full and every where, not a few but would cover the whole walkway in areas. This is a favorite place but seems to be unkept and not maintained. Bathroom area was clean and the campground host, a female was awesome and wonderful

Ants

Disappointed in conditions of campsites and general area of Hardridge Creek
Campsite was littered with trash- pop-tops, saw blades, used batteries and plastic bottle caps (i picked up and disposed of). Fire pit and grill had not been cleaned out in a long while, grass was in need of cutting which was finally done, All Campsites were littered with limbs and debris all over park. They finally cleaned up spaces at front of park before weekend but neglected the rest of the areas, Observed contractor ( Anderson Company ) cruising area but doing nothing- with fishing pole hanging out of back of company truck. Contractor cutting grass invaded our campsite and slung rocks and debris on us - did not acknowledge us- ask us to move- or give any explanation. I also observe a beer bottle that had been discarded on the ground close to the bathroom. Next day when the grass was cut they broke the bottle but neglected to pick up glass. I am very disappointed as this is one of our favorite parks and hope this message is passed . This has not been a one trip observation - it has steadily went down.

Would probably give it 5 stars except for a thousand little things - ants. The park is beautiful, nice sites near the water, clean restrooms, quiet, and we’ll probably come back, but we’ll be better prepared. Our friends had to leave early because they were so infested. They did receive a refund for the unused time.

Hardridge is a peaceful, beautiful area. We have camped there now 4 times, and have nothing but great experiences. Look forward to the next time.

Beautiful waterfront sites and great views. Park was very quiet and relaxing. Tip- bring lots of sugar ant treatment and flying insect spray. Ant treatment will need reapplied after rain or reoccurrence.

Love the campground!

The family prior to our stay dumped their gray water on the ground. Left trash all over site. The actual site had an odor that lingered inside my camper. This is the worst experience I have ever had at a campground, especially at Hardridge Creek.
