A new favorite campground in Southern Indiana - loved the large campsites and ample space in between! All of the staff are very friendly and super helpful too!

Spacious campsite in the woods. Campsite are somewhat private.

Assuming you or anyone you are camping with plans to shower, southern point is not the place to do so. The shower is cold as can be and just pelts you with a solid stream of ice water. However that being said, white oak campsite is just a hop and a skip away and the showers there are fantastic, and considerably hot.

Our spot was a little hard to get into and not very level but the park was beautiful and quiet for our overnight stay.
@DouglasS589227 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #49
The facility is always clean and well maintained
@LisaC6980823 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #CA2
Really enjoyed our stay at Hardin Ridge in Cabin 2. It has a great view of the lake . It was very relaxing. The one thing that would make it perfect is if you could drive down to the cabin to unpack and load things back up. But will definitely reserve it again next yr.
@ScottP5976595 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #108
Always a great experience camping at Hardin Ridge.
@PamelaH2928754 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #170
Great site; quiet, close to the shower house!
@HeidiW3E457CEA · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #207
I stayed at this exact same spot 2 weeks prior and it was wonderful. This particular weekend the pit toilet across the road smelled terrible. I wanted to ask for a refund but I didn't. Sad because this is the best site at Hardin Ridge but I won't be returning to this spot.
@ShawnH5107068 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #172
Always a great time. Campsites were great.
@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #54
The campsite was very clean and perfectly maintained. We had no problems with our stay

Hardin Ridge was our 5th and last RV camping trip of the summer---and it was by far the best. We couldn't have been more impressed with the campground and its campsites. We stayed 6 nights in the White Oak loop and found our site beyond spacious and surrounded by trees, as were most of the sites. The restrooms and showers were kept extremely clean--not usually the case at many other campgrounds. We found the camp hosts to be friendly, helpful, and hard-working. It was through their efforts that the restrooms were as nice and clean as they were and the campsites neat, tidy and ready for the next guest. We had such a good experience that we plan to go back again next year and stay even longer.
@SCOTTJ1075439 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #84
This is a really nice campground with nice shower houses and bathrooms. The campsites aren't right on top of one another and there are also hiking trails inside the campground for easy access. We only stayed one night but we definitely plan to go back and explore a little more next time.
@DeborahC371835 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #211
Wish checkout was later on Sundays, to give more time for weekend fun.
@AbigailF816BDE · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #32
We love Harden Ridge! The staff are always so helpful & kind! We recommend the fire tower, picnicking by the water, and bringing a hammock!
@TerryIF13EC68B · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #103
Host needs to clarify which sites are for "Roadside Camping Only" on the website. Had a good experience with the rest of the time there.
@MichaelB762699 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #46
Always a great time, friendly and courteous welcome by the staff. Site was clean and ready to go, the weather was most ideal and the views are spectacular down by the beach overlooking monroe. A great spot that has it all for whatever you may be looking for in nature. Wish we could have stayed for the halloween festivities.
@MikeW4539708 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #123
Halloween set up was wonderful. The kids had a great time and are already talking about doing it again next year.
@WaltPBAA380793 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #170
The camp host were great and all the facilities were clean and well maintained. Will be back soon.
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #200
First time visitor. Great large campsites with good tree cover and privacy between sites.
@CharlesP476782 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #141

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
