Our weekday stay was very quiet! The campground hosts were extremely helpful in moving us to a different spot, as the one we booked had an incomplete description on Reservation.gov. The hiking trails and lakefront shelters were a bonus.

We always enjoy our camps at Hardin Ridge, and this time was no exception. It's a beautiful place, and the staff never fail to welcome us and help with any problem or need. We'll certainly be back as soon as possible!

Great campsites, host are extremely friendly and helpful. Great spot if you are a fisherman. Hiking is limited unless you bushwack (not sure if that is permitted).l

Beautiful campground with big, spread out spaces.
It allowed me to book a tent spot with 30 amp electric, but there was space on the road to park my camper.
Camp hosts were friendly and helpful.
Showers were clean, but on the cool side.

Absolutely wonderful! But just to be clear these are Bunks without a bed (aka no plastic foam mattress of any kind)! So be sure to bring something cushy otherwise you will be sleeping on a piece of plywood for your stay. Other than this, just beautiful!

Wish they would extend checkout on Sundays and holidays to 5pm like the state parks instead of noon

I took 4 individuals who had not camped before. Used 2 tents for the 4 individuals, plus a hammock for myself. Plenty of room in the campsite.
