Hickory Ridge Horse Camp

"Empty campground, all the spots were in the sun. No stalls, only hitching posts which were also in the sun. There is no water, not one spout. No sinks in the bathroom so you can’t even fill up buckets of water in the sink. If you bring your own water and maybe a pen to put your horses up in the shade then this campground would be nice, the trail head is right in the campground. Apparently Indiana does not require you to have a water source to name yourself a campground so beware, Harden Horse Camp has water but owner is very unhelpful and will turn you away (even if the camp is empty)."

"Great rustic site. I was only camper here on March 11-12, 2023. Supposed to be non-potable water source but I havent seen it....pit toilet was clean. 10 out of 10."

"We came in on a Tuesday to primitive camp and were the only ones there. The campsites were clean, flat and mostly shaded. The vault toilet bathrooms were very clean. There were many horse/hiking trails that were very well marked. Horse trailers started rolling in on Thursday, but everyone was real friendly. We will definitely stay again, but during the week to avoid the crowd."

"A hidden gem in Hoosier National Forest! Some of the most beautiful hiking around. Pit toilets, no water. It's set up for horses, and lots of horse people use it on the weekends, but it's peaceful and empty during the week. Also free, which is nice."

"Well kept quiet Campground. Self Serve no fee. There was a lot of standing water although we've had a ton of rain lately. My only complaint is that spots are limited when conditions are wet"
