Camped here one night in mid-April, 2012. I almost considered going somewhere else after reading all the bad reviews of one particular ranger but am very glad we came here. We really appreciate being left alone while camping which is why this was a concern for us but our fears were totally unfounded. Not only was the only ranger on... More

My husband and I used to travel to Hartman creek state park and camp every year in August. We love to home and swim and just enjoy the whole camping experience. This was until 2 years ago we had the same bad experience with the intrusive ranger woman. We have always been respectful campers and up until then had never... More

We had no problems with Park Ranger at all. There was a tornado warning out when we camped at Hartman Creek and the female ranger stopped by each and every campsite to notify the campers. She was very informative on what to do in case of severe weather. Hartman Creek was a very nice State Park, some of the campsites... More

I usually don't write reviews (good or bad), but I felt I needed to in order to make up for some of the bad reviews this park has received. I agree with the poster that said the negative reviews were probably all from the same person using different names. We just got back from a Boy Scout family camp at... More

And why can't they be fired? If any customer service person in private industry treated guests that way they wouldn't last a week. We've been going there for 20 years but the last 4 trips have been ruined or at least damaged by a certain ranger (the same one each time). Rude,unfriendly, seems to make up her own rules. Sneaks...

We went camping Oct 9, 10, 11 2010. After reading the previous reviews we were a little skeptical. One big difference with this park (could be the reason the Rangers are so prevalent) the quiet times are 10p-8a. That's a big difference from other WI state parks (usually 11p-6a). We did notice the Rangers driving by every hour, but they... More

We just stayed in the teepee with our 5 and 7 year old. We all loved it. Some bugs can get in but not that bad and it didn't bother us. The park was great, private, the beach, hiking all good. Staff was pleasant, bathrooms were clean. I'm writing this review to let people know that we really enjoyed our... More

We had never camped at Hartman Creek until this week and am now saying it is my new favorite state park. The campsites are spacious, some more wooded than others. We had an electric site that was surrounded by trees. There are so many things to do: hike, bike, kayak, and canoe. A beautiful park. There is a mile paved... More

Do not camp here if you intend on staying up past 10 pm and talking around your campfire. Both nights we were there we were talking in a normal tone and both nights the rangers informed us they could hear us several campsites over. News to me since my 3 and 5 year olds were sleeping the in camper 15... More
