We love camping on the Blue Gill loop at Hardin Ridge. The sites are large, shady, level, and remarkably private. From Sunday night to Friday noon, the campground is quiet. It gets full over the weekend, but it is still an enjoyable place to camp.

I have always loved Hardin Ridge since I was a little girl. The other campers that have no camping etiquette make it very difficult to enjoy the beauty and the quiet the park has. (Loud music, and loud children)

Hardin Ridge never disappoints. The sites are spacious and well shaded. We enjoy hiking the trails in the area and kayaking/paddle boarding on the lake...and hanging out at the campsite, of course.
Hoosier National Forest is one of our favorite destinations in Indiana!
