Cecil M. Harden Primitive Campground offers rustic tent camping with 35 primitive sites nestled in wooded areas near Cecil M. Harden Lake, featuring pit toilets, drinking fountains, and direct lake access via hiking trails.

The primitive area provides a quieter camping alternative to the electric loops, with sites P31 and P32 noted as particularly nice, though campers should secure food from the active raccoon population.

Lake access is available via steep trails leading to a private beach area, making it suitable for paddlers and anglers seeking a more secluded experience.
