RangerWooster Bay - Not just tent camping
Overall we had a great time. The few “downers” were: A lot of campers/pop ups in the tent area A LOT of broken glass on sites Very uneven sites, hard to be comfortable around the fire.
Good fishing Great hiking trails

ScoutA great getaway
We love Hardy! Close to home and an amazing campground. Clean, beautiful and the kids love the water.
GuideFun weekend!
We had a fun weekend at Hardy Lake. We were there for the Raptor Days weekend. We got to see a Red Tail Hawk be released as well as a screech owl. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable! The bathrooms were spotless and regularly cleaned, we didn't use the outhouses bc we were closer to the bath house. Lots of kids, families, and dogs!
