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.

Awesome campground. Paved roads and parking pad. Well maintained but the bathroom/showers are dated. Plenty of shade among the trees. Front entrance staff are helpful and friendly. Dump station located up near the entrance. Fire pits are great and wood is for sale at front gate along with t-shirts. Towns are about 30 minutes away if you need to go. Either Bloomington or Bedford. There is a convenience store called Fishin Shedd closer for fishing and camping supplies.
