@JoyceBB8E4686A · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #51

LOVED our time at Hardin Ridge! It was mid-week, after Labor Day and we were the ONLY campers on our spur so it was delightfully quiet. (I think it might have been less pleasant for us had we come when they were booked solid the week before...but I'm a bit of a misanthrope, LOL). Our site was in perfect shape, and the pit toilet was impeccably clean. Showers at the shower house were "meh"...one had a faulty nozzle but since the campground was not crowded it was easy to switch to a different shower which was better (though a tad chilly). Cell signal was non-existent in some places, but decent at our site. I look forward to coming back again someday!

@EmilyT1326398 · Camped on Sep 7, 2024 at Campsite #CA1

Beautiful view!

@PatrickR752924 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #124

Very good spot. Will choose this one again

@JackieW7202808 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #47

Loved the camping spot we had.

@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #52

52 is definitely one of the best spots on SPT. Lots of room, pretty level, good trees for a hammock, and private. A bit of a walk to the facilities, but so what? It's a nice walk. Speaking of which, the facilities are neat and clean, the camp hosts are great, and there's just a nice sense of fun and relaxation at Hardin Ridge.

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #188

Park was very nice, quiet, peaceful, and the sites were huge. The only thing we didnt like was that the shower house had lights burnt out inside the bathroom and the showers were pretty dirty, full of bugs, and they smelled like they never get cleaned. We are used to the state park showers that usually smell like bleach. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would probably come back again.

@MaryA8824979 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #102

Our stay was wonderful as always, but you need to know if the site says FF, you still need a reservation for that spot, even though the site will not let you book a FF site on line.

@jamesy5657209 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #47

We have never been to this park before. The staff was very helpful when checking in and arranging for a campsite. The facilities were well maintained and very clean.

@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #78

A beautiful, heavily treed campground. Clean and quiet (although there was absolutely no one else around when we were there.) The tent sites had some serious issues which spoiled it for me though. The entire site is covered in limestone, so trying to set up your tent on a bed of sharp, pointy rocks is just as much fun as it sounds. It's nearly impossible to pound tent stakes in, and when you do get set up, it's hardly comfortable to have such a hard and rough surface under the tent. Then, when it rained, the water rushed over top of all the rocks, completely soaking my tent from the bottom up. The fire pit was buried so deeply into the ground that there was no draft to keep the fire going, and the rain immediately filled the fire pit into a foot-deep pond that had nowhere to drain. All in all, it was a disappointing campground because it has the potential to be really nice, but whoever designed the tent sites should be forced to camp there as punishment.

@MarcG3721143 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #141

Very peaceful! Signage was not the best-reservations said Woak but sign said white oak which was a bit deceiving & with a 42 towing rv , dont need to pass up loop. Swimming area was nice but water muddy sites were very large but gravel & no sewer. Park host from another loop was very informative since it host had surgery. Hiking trails were great for families.

@ZacharyS971183 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #91

Hardin Ridge is a quiet campground with plenty of space between the sites.

@caiteb55F4E506 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #165

Overall the facility is well maintained and very wooded. Sites are large and spaced well away from each other. Site #165 in the Pine loop was not very level - it took all our blocks to get level.

@ErinVAC193D5E5 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #142

Large and wooded sites make this campground one of our favorites.

@VirginiaA12944 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #28

Hardin Ridge puts state park campgrounds to shame. Support Southern Point Loop, which is non-electric, but don't go there early in the week when I go there for the peace and quiet. Don't bring your loud music. Just be in a place where it's you and the woods. If you must drive a bus to camp, there are several other loops with full electric that are very attractive, well-wooded, with good facilities, as well.

@NeilC5202590 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #18

Perfect campsite

@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #88

The cleanest campground weve stayed. The facilities were also very clean. We enjoyed our stay

@DanielleS79088 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #122

Great site

@SarahTB7D0CA75 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #202

Loved this campground! The site was nice and spacious and clean. The firepit was a little close to the trees which was worrisome, but it wasn't windy. The swimming area is really nice, but a little small. It wasn't crowded at all. The location is nice an removed, but also just a 15 minute drive if you need something. Really beautiful area. The bathhouse was nice and clean also. The pull-through dump station is an awesome bonus and conveniently located on your way out. We had a fantastic trip! Definitely will come back!

@SamanthaG47815 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #191

We had a wonderful time. The campsites are not on top of each other. The facilities were okay. We had deer walking up to the campsite. Put your food away at night and trash due to Raccoons. That's to be expected. We had a Great time and will be back to camp soon!

@LaurenM8658949 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #35

Great campground! So much to offer. Hosts are kind and helpful! Bathrooms were clean. Certain sites are really private. Will be back many times!

@DianeE7710965 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #156

Lovely, quiet campground!

@MichaelB762699 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #48

Enjoyed my space and time, hiked to the beach and enjoyed the views. I like the fact there are campground host but when I pulled up to my site there was a campground host with an RV set up next to my site. Not the best view to look at when I booked the site. My decision to come to this side of the loop is to avoid the RV's and large truck set ups to enjoy the scene and nature.

@gloriacsB77A4E · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #140

Had very noisy neighbors, barking dogs, left outside speakers on and played music all night long. Greatly affected my ability to enjoy sitting outside. Luckily i was able to enjoy 2 days of peace when they left.

@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #113

Good overall but perplexed as to why my showers were cold when no one else was using them but others reported having hot showers. Also, one of the trails was closed but nowhere did it report this. Luckily, i went around the caution tape and enjoyed what is left of the trail.

@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #144

Upon arrival, I found that my prepaid reservation for a full hook up site had been canceled and given to another camper. Since it was July 4, getting another place to stay was impossible. They put me in a terrible, unlevel, primitive site and charged me the full price for both sites.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
