It's a really pretty building that is clean and has friendly staff. Parts of the building are…read moreoutdated, though, and could use a revisit to let in some more light.

The SRSC gets the job done. My undergrad gym was brand new and state-of-the-art (I mean Kobe played…read morebasketball there during offseason + free towels during your workout + climbing wall, etc.) so I had high standards going in. The SRSC doesn't even come close, but eh it works. It's like a 24 hour fitness - good enough. It features: *Multiple strength & cardio areas - I typically go to the strength area all the way at the end of the hall, past the basketball/volleyballs. That's where they have 6 or 7 racks + weight. Warning: clean off the bars before you use them - they're filthy. They have an amazing amount of treadmills (even curved treadmills!), rowers and stair steppers. *Group exercise/yoga & Pilates studio - I've taken a Zumba class here and tried to take a yoga class (addt'l $8 punch card needed!) They're just okay, but hey it's cheap. *Seven racquetball/wallyball courts, two squash courts, table tennis, & badminton *Five basketball/volleyball courts - Haven't played basketball or volleyball, but I've played intramural kickball on these courts. They'll just partition off a section of intramural sports. *The Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatic Center (CBAC) Olympic-sized pool/diving well - Swam here once. Not much to say except ask the lifeguards which lanes you can swim in. They'll often have swim meets at this pool, so parking can get a little crowded. *Indoor walking/jogging/running track - this runs right over the basketball/volleyball courts. *Futsal Court TON OF undergrads though so I typically go right when it opens in the AM (6am on weekdays/8 am on weekends).

I spent a great week on the campus of Indiana University officiating the inaugural Bloomington TYR…read morePro Swim Meet. The Student Recreational Sports Center houses the Councilman Billingsley swimming and diving complex. It is dedicated to longtime swim coach Doc Councilman now deceased. Also to Hobie Billingsley who attended the meet and now in his early 90's. Both were influential figures in the world of swim and dive for decades. The complex built in the mid 90's sets on Law Ln and Union St. The aquatic complex consist of almost 145,000 of swimming and diving capability. The complex also houses Indiana's polo team. The complex features an 8 lane Olympic size pool with depths of seven to eight feet for greater speed. The complex also features an indoor diving tower. Two one meter and three meter spring board diving. As well as up to 10 meter platform diving. The facility is immaculate and maintained to high standards. Air quality superb. The beauty of the facility comes from the wonderful banners and photos posted on the walls. It really brings the history of Indiana Swim & Dive to life. There is spectator seating, however not large. Estimated capacity is under 500. The wooden bleachers are in need of refinishing. A highlight however for spectators is the gigantic video board showing times and video. They also have a much smaller one at the diving well for polo and dive. Being a Hoosier I can't help but be a fan of the Student Recreational Sports Center / Councilman Billingsley Swimming Pool. What an incredible complex for Indiana University.

Lots of great offerings for group classes and cardio equipment. The building is a little dingy,…read morewith the basement area being pretty underwhelming. I wish the workout spaces had windows since it feels a bit dungeon-like while you're working out.

My family and I are seasoned campers. We love Hardin Ridge! In comparison to Paynetown Campground…read morewe found Hardin ridge better because, the restrooms are clean, private showers, beautiful views, the sites are mostly private, fishing ponds, nature trails and is a Federal Camping area. In contrast, Hardin Ridge may not be ideal for camping, if you have a boat, which we do... there is a solution for boaters though, we rent a RV site and can park right on the site. You need to do your homework though!!! Only the right side of the campground can be reserved, and the rest is first come first serve. There is a large parking lot near the launch area as well, although we do not trust leaving our boat. One other reason you might not like Hardin Ridge is the proximity to stores for gas, groceries, beer and other supplies. In Paynetown, you are basically missing the wilderness experience, you are in a field seeking shade. Make sure to bring shower shoes and wait in line for the showers! We are consistently harassed by their rent a cop...seriously! For example, we were told the park does not like Rap! They want you to be realllllly quite at 10:00, and trust me they do walk into your site and tell you to be quite. We have guitars and were not allowed to play them. Another example, was we then thought we would get a primitive site close to the water so that we could park our boat in front of our campsite. Well, funny story...we came in from a day on the lake and other boats parked on our site, walked right through our camp area...I confronted one. Lets just say Conservation Officers were called to the situation, They did nothing to stop these people from walking into are camp... You are close to amenities though, there is a store and gas station close by, and many parks for little ones. it is flat for tents. CITY SLICKERS Welcome...lol To sum it up, we have never had people problems at Hardin Ridge, and because we have a boat we are 3 min to 4winds Marina, and a skip to Allens Creek!! Hardin Ridge overlooks Allens Creek. There is quite time but nobody has ever said anything about a low radio or a strum of a guitar... nobody ever bothers our stuff or us!! Tree Huggers Welcome...lol Southern Point -non Electric 17.00 a night Electric- is 27.00 a night Senior discounts- almost half the price ONE MAJOR POINT: DONT bring in the wood! We bring a chainsaw and cut our own, you are welcome to cut the downed timber or buy theirs!

Rude customer service when talked to face to face.. Would never answer their phones…read more User to give discounts on camping to disabled veterans, not anymore, The hosts and staff complained about everything. Har 4 adults in our campground . Had to pay 8 dollars a day for each motorcycle. This place is a rip off. There are so many other better places in Indiana to camp, Avoid this place
