No hot water in the bathrooms or showers. Not much to do around the area. The lake was closed. Our actual spot was very nice though, and peaceful. The camp hosts were very nice!

Very well maintained campground. Nice level & roomy sites with lots to trees in between that gives you privacy. It’s a very quiet & relaxing campground.

We had a great time, we liked the way sites were spaced out and all the shade. The stall was friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed the beach and hiking to the beach on the trail, and bikes are a must. Great place for children.

Water in shower houses was cold and not enough spray coming out to rinse soap out of hair.

Great location, very nice park, but the "parking pass fee" is pretty lame. a single spot can hold 8 people, but only 1 free parking pass. Seems like a way to scam campers out of another 5 bucks on the back end. They should allow 2 free parking passes per space in my opinion.

Hardin Ridge is a quiet oasis from our hectic life.
