Hardin Ridge truly is hard to beat!  Another is Mounds State recreation area near Brookville IN.  In loop "C" they have full hookups.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2018 10:14:23 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12161&PID=116431#116431 Hardin Ridge, Indiana : We stayed in Hardin Ridge last... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12161&PID=115022#115022 Author: mooremg1

We stayed in Hardin Ridge last year during our eclipse tour and it was one of our favorite stops on the trip.  Our site was also large and heavily wooded and well separated from neighboring sites.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2018 10:27:12 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12161&PID=115022#115022 Hardin Ridge, Indiana : David, We visited Brown County... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12161&PID=114967#114967 Author: Mirado

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.

Cool! You are always welcome over here.   

I do volunteering with the Indiana DNR (though not a lot this year) so, I tend to end up at those places. I need to get out and snoop around more.

If you like that area, a little further south is Spring Mill SP:   https://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2968.htm
The Gus Grissom museum is good to visit, if you like space stuff. There is no additional cost, just a voluntary donation box. The Village is a must see, when there.

Nearby/general area, North and East there are Brown County State Park (cool but busy) and Yellowwood State Forest (no hook ups). Brown County gets extremely busy once the "Leaf Peepers" start coming out in force.

I'm always happy to offer an opinion on a place if you wish.

Thanks for the write up and picture. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in the Hoosier State. I'm embarrassed to admit that I have never been to Hardin Ridge. Judging by your post, I need to put it on my list - near the top.

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. ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2018 14:23:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12161&PID=114952#114952 Hardin Ridge, Indiana : A great place to camp!

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.

The new site was huge!  We could have parked about six rpods in it.  The entire area is heavily wooded, lots of shade, lots of privacy, nice shower facilities.  It contains a mix of walk-in tent sites, electric rv sites, some with water hookup, walking trails, access to  a large lake with boating, fishing etc.  I cannot express enough about how helpful the campground hosts were in getting us situated.  It is a place we definitely plan to go back to.  Advice: avoid sites 101,102, 103 and 116 as they are pulloffs like I described - there may be a few others too.  But most of the sites are spacious.
