Wonderful campground with clean facilities. Site 143 is somewhat secluded from nearby sites, but some traffic can be expected due to the small pond next to the site. Overall, a great site and location.

I’ve camped all over the country and I’ve camped at 41 national parks and nearly every state in the US—I am not new to camping. This was one of the more miserable camping experiences I’ve had simply due to the insane number of ticks. I understand that this is a risk anywhere, particularly in the Midwest, but they were literally dropping out of trees onto our heads and crawling onto our legs under the picnic table. After removing more than two dozen ticks from my kids, we opted to leave early. Cutting back some of the brush and undergrowth surrounding the sites might help reduce the likelihood of tick exposure. (We saw black widows as well—we will not be back.)

Cabins at Hardin Ridge (we stayed in Cabin 2) were in a great spot on the lake and secluded from other campsites. Everything was very clean, grounds and amenities were well cared for. Unfortunately the beach was closed (though there seems to be nowhere online you can find this information before arriving). Staff was hard to reach throughout our stay, but it was a great escape otherwise!
