We really enjoy Hardin Ridge due to less traffic and bigger sites. This trip we stayed in BlueGill 133, which was ok. The site was big, but the placement of the fire pit was odd. Plus the pit wasn’t buried in the ground so when we had a fire we couldn’t see it or stay warm from it. The pit was probably 2 ft above ground, but in addition to that the park ran out of firewood mid weekend and was sending people 20 minutes out of town if you needed it. We ended up driving to get some but some other people couldn’t because they would have had to pack up to drive. The weekend we were there was their Fall event and trick or treating which was fun. We didn’t have any kids but handed out candy and enjoyed seeing all the costumes and families participating.

We love Harden Ridge! It is quiet, clean and if you can find a good site, secluded in the woods! If you are confused about the information you find online, it definitely needs to be updated so I recommend giving them a call.

It would be nice to have full hook up at all sites. Doesn't make sense how some sites have it but others don’t.

The campsites are awesome, very large and nice and level. We were moved to a different loop because our loop closed for the season when we camped the last weekend of October. However, the loop we were moved to, we were not given water sites (we had 3 people that reserved sites together) in the new loop. I do wish we had been told when we made the reservations that they would be closed by the time we were camping. I would think that would be planned well in advance but maybe not. Otherwise, everything was great and we enjoyed the sites very much. We will be coming back for sure. I have to say this is one of the best parks I have camped on as far as size and levelness of the sites. Very very nice. This park is very beautiful.

We had a great time staying at Cabin #2. Karen the Camp Host was very helpful. We would like to stay for a week in the spring Karen...thank you.

Site 126 – Great Spot in the Park!
I recently stayed at Site 126 and had a great experience. The location within the park was ideal—peaceful, spacious, and felt nicely secluded while still being close to the clean bathrooms and showers. The cement pad was level and worked perfectly for my car and tent setup, which made things super convenient. One of the small but awesome touches was how the campground delivers firewood right to your site after you pay—no need to haul it yourself. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this site to anyone looking for a relaxed and well-maintained camping experience.

The campsites were clean spacious you weren't camping on top of your neighbor there is a lot of room in between each campsite couldn't say enough about the courtesy and hospitality of the staff

Campsites are in tree shaded forest and well kept by friendly camp hosts.

Great shaded campsites. Nice if you have a boat, even have playgrounds for children. It was raining when we went, which was unfortunate because we love the place, but we always still go back.
