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.

Very quiet this time no music, or loud talking. Listened to the birds and the cicadas. Very enjoyable.

Love this place. They make sure quiet time is observed and everyone is so nice. We also reserve a spot that is huge and kind of secluded. This is our favorite place to camp, we go every other weekend!

We have visited Hardin Ridge many times and have always experienced a great time. Camp site are always cleaned before we arrive and branches are picked up. The hosts are always friendly and helpful if we need anything. The only thing that needs to be improved is the restroom and shower on Holland. It was clean as could be for an old facility buy no where near as nice as the other loops. It was a great time.

We always love our camping trips here! Great places to hike and look for geodes, a great beach for swimming and not too far from Bloomington for some other activities and great food choices.

Have been camping at Hardin Ridge for 40+ years and it just keeps getting better. Jim and Andra were excellent hosts this trip. Very clean, well maintained sites, always friendly and helpful staff.
