The staff is amazing. They are friendly and take great pride in keeping the park and facilities clean. Many private and quiet camp sites are available; this is our 'Go-To' place for a weekend getaway.

Nice level camping spots. Overall campground was very nice. Restrooms and showers clean and in good shape. Quiet and peaceful. My only issue was that I got some ticks walking through the grass to get from my campsite to the restrooms/showers.

I love this park! Campsites are great with beautiful trees. Best toilet paper of any park! Staff are friendly and very helpful. We just love coming here!

Stayed here 3 nights. Corps of Engineers campground, so it's nicely laid out with spacious sites. Our sloped back and a couple of degrees down to the left. Very clean and quiet, other than normal sounds from well-behaved children. The gate was staffed by various campground hosts, and they were all extremely friendly. The bathroom in our loop (White Oak) was relatively new: spartan but clean, with 3 individual showers. Two bars T-mobile. We camped at Hoosier National Forest, Hardin Ridge Recreation Area in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful forested setting! We stayed in the Pine section. Electric but no water hookup, however there was a water spigot across the road so no big deal. I wish we could stay more than one night, but guess we need to come back to explore.
My only complaint is that we had to pay for 2 nights even though only staying for one (Friday) night. That's not fair to someone who needs a site for a Saturday night. I really dislike the 2-night weekend rule!!
Firewood for sale @ $7 a bundle. Friendly check in people and camp hosts.
We were able to receive 20 TV channels on our air antenna.
Long winding road to get here but worth it!
