Hardin Ridge, Indiana

Hardin Ridge truly is hard to beat!  Another is Mounds State recreation area near Brookville IN.  In loop "C" they have full hookups.

David, We visited Brown County SP while we were down there and toured the campground - a nice place, but we like Hardin Ridge better.  We checked out Yellowwood also....I like it a lot, but we're not ready for the dry camping just yet...maybe some day.  I've heard of Spring Mill, but haven't been there.  Thanks for the advice.

David....There's plenty of places we've not been to in our own state of Ohio.  But we've got kids living in Indy, so we get over there a lot.  We used to stay at hotels, but now we can take our own with us.  This was our first visit to Hardin Ridge.  You live close enough that you could drive down and check it out first.

Thanks for this great report! We're in California but between us we have relatives in Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Illinois so I archive these great tips when I see them. 

We went to Hardin Ridge Recreation Area near Bloomington, Indiana over the Labor Day Holiday.  It is in the Hoosier National Forest and is managed by the USFS.  The campsites are quite large and most can handle just about any size RV.....except for the site that we had reserved.  We found our site to be a narrow pull-off along the drive, with a small area with a picnic table and barely enough room for anything else, and no possible way to park the pod off the road.  The campground host was right across the road, and I went and talked to her.  She was extremely understanding, made a few phone calls, and was able to locate another vacant site in the next campground (still within the same rec. area), even though the campground was officially full for the holiday weekend.
