Beach continues to be closed year after year. No warning prior to visit. The lake is the main attraction. The workers are nice but not helpful when it comes to what else to do or where else can we access the lake.

I have camped at Hardin Ridge twice this year. Both times my stays were great. The campground hosts are so friendly and always willing to help with anything you need. The comfort stations are always clean and there is always toilet paper in the restrooms and hand soap in the dispenser. I like the uniqueness of the campsites. Some are smaller and tucked back in the woods which work really well for tent camping and some are really spacious for large groups. All the sites are shaded with gravel throughout . There’s no mud to ever have to walk through if it rains. The fire rings are cleaned out by the hosts right after the previous camper has left. I can’t say enough good things about the hosts. They’re always working and trying to make sure your experience at Hardin Ridge is the best that it can be.

The staff are great, super nice. Spots are clean and nicely spaced. The lake is beautiful and easy to kayak on.

If people would keep their music turned down at all times, and people would keep their kids under control and not playing in front of other campsites, would have been a excellent stay. Hardin Ridge isy favorite caping place. We go there for the quiet away from the city, but no one gets that.

We had a most awesome time, myself and a three year old and a five year old girls.... The campsite and the campground host couldn't have been more accommodating. The girls and I had fun hiking and looking for big foot.
