Excellent campground and facilities. Beach was closed due to high water so no swimming available. Definitely decreased the overall experience

Hardin Ridge campground (we stayed at Bluegill site 118) was excellent. Most of the campsites are mostly enormous, and most are very well separated from neighboring sites. the restroom facilities were immaculate, and appeared to be quite new. The staff we interacted with were friendly and professional.

Purchased an Annual Pass for the National Parks. Purchased several for family members who often visit us at our camping site. Then learned that THIS location is managed by a third part. So these annual passes are not accepted and I had to purchase THIER annual pass. Sites are nice and our site has a nice pad which is mostly level. Showers are so so. Not a fan of the third party.

Had problems with my Camper so I wasnt able to stay and camp so I applied for a refund and in the process of getting that but I have been camping there for over 20 years and really enjoyed it. I dont want to go anywhere else but Hardin Ridge thank you, Rickie Horton.

We had a most awesome time, myself and a three year old and a five year old girls.... The campsite and the campground host couldn't have been more accommodating. The girls and I had fun hiking and looking for big foot.

Quiet, shady, clean.
@DANIELL7634709 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #87
The park was very clean, probably the cleanest bath houses I've ever been in. Really enjoyed the space between sites and the cleanliness of the site as well, no trash on the fire pit and everything was well maintained and in working order
@BartW6FA4B06DB · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #148
We had a great time.

Nice large campsites!
@JoeK5232803 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #144
The only negative thing I can say and this isn't the parks fault, is check the lakes water level to make sure beaches aren't closed
@ZacharyS971183 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #100
Hardin Ridge is a really nice place to camp and visit. I really like the fact that the camp sites are spaced out and not on top of each other like they are in state parks in Indiana.
@SteveH6337222 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #156
Its a beautiful campground, well maintained, and the staff were very welcoming.
@RickF4493344 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #52
Amazing facilities! Clean and well stocked! Camp hosts are wonderful people! Always friendly and helpful! Always live our time there always sad to leave. Been comming back for 15 years now. Will continue as long as I am able!
@MaryS3622227 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #185
I had a wonderful time at Hardin Ridge. The shower house was very clean and well kept. The site was lovely and people (employees) were friendly. Love Hardin Ridge and with the opening of I-69 it was very easy to access. All in all it was a great experience. :)
@DarcyH8688162 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #126
We loved Hardin Ridge. We had a very nice, quiet, relaxing time.
@DarleneK967BA8 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #152
I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The bathrooms were always clean.
@MarkH6047851 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #85
Beautiful campground.
@AdamK2705815 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #171
Don't know how I never knew of this park living in the MW for my whole life. Amazing grounds, clean bathrooms, attentive and welcoming hosts, slew of wild animals to admire. I could go on and on. Will be returning, without a doubt!
@AbbyN2382674 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #169
A very peaceful and beautiful campground. I went here to camp with my pet and it was very pet friendly. There is potable water, showers, and bathrooms that makes it really nice and accessible for all types of camping. Some of the tent sites you can't have your car at but most of them are good to back your car in. If you want a quiet place with trees and water near by this is your place to go.
@JennyS4587356 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #200
Always feel welcome when we arrive
@DavidJB19DB3F2 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #205
Lovely park, clean, RV sites are more private than many facilities. We will be back.
@ScottF5762481 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #211
The campground was quite good and I'll definitely visit again. The campground host was accidentally my neighbor and was very friendly and helpful. I have no negative comments at all except the weather was uncooperative. That isn't within anyone's control.
@AngelaS2475005 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #202
It was nice and quiet. Unfortunately it rained the one day we were there, but staff was very helpful and very nice
@KYLEN7162707 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #71
Camp host was extremely friendly! The campsite was clean and comfortable. A little closer to other primitive sites than I would have liked but luckily we were the only campsite on the loop that night. Will definitely return. The bathroom facilities were clean and plentiful.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
