The Best Camping Near Cecil M. Harden Lake, Indiana

This is a nice little campground that overlooks Skiatook Lake with many of the campsites right on the lake. If you are lucky you can snag a site that is up on the bluff over the lake, the views are amazing (and it was less windy than the sites down on the lakeshore)! But be careful because if you roll out the wrong side of your tent you could end up with a sharp drop into some cold water. The campground was pretty empty when I was there due to late season and some poor weather expected to roll in. There wasn’t anyone at the gate, but there was an honor system pay tube, and the campground host was really helpful.  The vault toilet was really clean which made me not mind as much the lack of showers. There seemed to be more tent campers here which might have had to do with the lack of RV delights like dump station or hookups. The area is run by the US Army Corps of Engineers and does not take reservations. The true draw is the lake, which is beautiful and had a nice boat ramp and dock. Might be a good place to spend a little quiet time.

Hidden gem

Nice, quiet and clean off the beaten path. Saw a couple of restroom locations. Pretty views!  

Nice small campground

We stayed at site 31. It was on the side with the bluffs. Beautiful sunset overlooking the lake. Trees separated us from the next campsites. It's very primitive so bring plenty of water. 

Nice secluded spot 

First time here,  absolutely love it! The roads look like they've recently been blacktopped. Very easy to get to. Lots of shade,  but there's sun if you want it. Beautiful lake view from my site. Clean vault toilet.  No water available anywhere tho, which lowered my review to 4. No electric or dump station, so come prepared.
