Campsites are always clean as well as the restrooms and showers. The Camp Host's and staff couldn't be friendlier.

Was such a beautiful Campground and the camp host were very helpful. We had a location right near the bathroom which was convenient and the showers were nice. However they did have a lot of bugs in the showers.

Hardin Ridge Recreation Area in Hoosier National Forest offers six camping loops with a range of amenities. We stayed on one of the few sites (Holland #205) which had both electric and water. The campgrounds were very clean and we stayed mid-week in May and it was very quiet. The camp hosts were very friendly and they sell firewood and ice at the entrance station. I brought my bike and enjoyed riding through the various campgrounds which are all very scenic. Great location for day trips to Nashville, Bloomington and French Lick. Looking forward to returning in the fall to enjoy the colors. Especially nice campgrounds for tenting and smaller travel trailers.

We love Hardin Ridge. Each site is shady and we generally have very good privacy.

The “managers” that live on site were very frustrated and rude about me asking for clarification on a rule. Then the campsite host had three vehicles at their site and had small children riding out of the top of a moon roof on the road several times a day. But it was an issue that we had 3 vehicles and 3 tents......

We love this place. Only complaint was a lady had six dogs and they barked constantly.

One of our favorite campgrounds! Sites aren't on top of each other and are beautiful.

We had a wonderful time. The sites are close for multi family but separate enough to have space. I do wish the bathrooms were more convenient and there was more availability for hot showers. However, the environment is wonderful. Feels like reconnecting to nature.

The campground hosts are very helpful at this campground. Not only do the work but they help keep the park clean and to help you with information you may need while staying in the area.
I've never experienced such great service at a campground.
This campground is very quiet to allow you to enjoy the peacefulness of the forest.
