We loved it—early April, not many folks around and was quiet and lovely.

I wish I could give this campground more than a 5 star rating! We love this place! It’s my therapeutic safe haven! Very large lots, beautiful forest, and friendly people! They keep the area in pristine condition! The bathrooms are clean, the showers are hot (especially the front ones (or cold-if you are like me and need that on a blistering summer day!), and the water is fresh water so no funky well smell! They have water spickets located, located in the side of the main road, every few yards that you can fill you water up with! The have electric hook up and water hook up at several site (check your site because not all of them have it). The campground hosts are so incredibly friendly and will stop to talk or wave driving around in their golf cart! They have a few playgrounds for the kids. There is a swimming area, but it was closed this season. There is a ramp to launch a boat , and they do have a couple of small cabins too! The best part I saved for last (my favorite)! There are several hiking trails and if you look when hiking at the bottom of the hills, you can find beautiful geodes of all sizes!!! They are incredible! The kids and I have a blast breaking them and finding the earths natural buried treasures! I can not say enough amazing things! We will be back again for sure for years to come! Check it out!

This is a large site, very comfortable for a long stay. Difficult to level - camp side will need some blocks as will your steps.
Restrooms and showers are first class. Toilet paper is not sandpaper. Staff keep it maintained well.
The trails are great, including the interpretive trail. If you walk down to the lake, be ready for a brutal walk back up the road.
150mb/s with ATT mini.

We love Hardin Ridge! It's far and away the best campground we've found in Indiana. It's peaceful, even when most sites are full, because it's so wooded and the sites are well spaced. The staff of volunteers are invariably friendly and fun to meet and talk with. Altogether, it's just a great place to camp.
