Purchased an Annual Pass for the National Parks. Purchased several for family members who often visit us at our camping site. Then learned that THIS location is managed by a third part. So these annual passes are not accepted and I had to purchase THIER annual pass. Sites are nice and our site has a nice pad which is mostly level. Showers are so so. Not a fan of the third party.

Excellent campground and facilities. Beach was closed due to high water so no swimming available. Definitely decreased the overall experience

Hardin Ridge campground (we stayed at Bluegill site 118) was excellent. Most of the campsites are mostly enormous, and most are very well separated from neighboring sites. the restroom facilities were immaculate, and appeared to be quite new. The staff we interacted with were friendly and professional.

Had problems with my Camper so I wasn’t able to stay and camp so I applied for a refund and in the process of getting that but I have been camping there for over 20 years and really enjoyed it. I don’t want to go anywhere else but Hardin Ridge thank you, Rickie Horton.

Hardin Ridge is a really nice place to camp and visit. I really like the fact that the camp sites are spaced out and not on top of each other like they are in state parks in Indiana.

The park was very clean, probably the cleanest bath houses I've ever been in. Really enjoyed the space between sites and the cleanliness of the site as well, no trash on the fire pit and everything was well maintained and in working order
