I've been to HARDIN RIDGE six or seven times. Quiet, well-managed, and designed and built to top, NPS standards. The scenery is sublime, and I'm just 20 minutes from downtown Bloomington.

Park is in great shape. Well maintained by staff. The campground hosts were friendly and helpful.

The grounds are well maintained. Love the wooded area between sites. Bathrooms are well maintained. The friendliest camp hosts we have every experienced.

I have camped at Hardin Ridge twice this year. Both times my stays were great. The campground hosts are so friendly and always willing to help with anything you need. The comfort stations are always clean and there is always toilet paper in the restrooms and hand soap in the dispenser. I like the uniqueness of the campsites. Some are smaller and tucked back in the woods which work really well for tent camping and some are really spacious for large groups. All the sites are shaded with gravel throughout . Theres no mud to ever have to walk through if it rains. The fire rings are cleaned out by the hosts right after the previous camper has left. I cant say enough good things about the hosts. Theyre always working and trying to make sure your experience at Hardin Ridge is the best that it can be.

Beach continues to be closed year after year. No warning prior to visit. The lake is the main attraction. The workers are nice but not helpful when it comes to what else to do or where else can we access the lake.
@JasonHD4A9117C · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #185
The staff are great, super nice. Spots are clean and nicely spaced. The lake is beautiful and easy to kayak on.

Beatiful campground, clean showers and friendly staff.
@ScotRDB3062AAF · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #59
Excellent campground and facilities. Beach was closed due to high water so no swimming available. Definitely decreased the overall experience
@JanetP1353317 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #119
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.

Its relaxing

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.
@DanH6147433 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #144
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.
@DuaneS9686430 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #141
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

@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. :)

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.
