I came here for the first time with my extended family last weekend and have really mixed feelings…read moreabout our stay. The good: staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive. Our campsite was nice and we had a nice view of Bear Lake. The main restrooms were cleaned constantly throughout the day and were well stocked. There's a nice big playground in the middle of the campground that my niece just loved. There were a lot of families there and I get the sense that this could be a place where people just love to come; it certainly seemed that way based off how many people had seasonal sites super decked out. The cons: The sites are all identified with their numbers, but I think they could be a little more clear. Both myself and my in-laws accidently set up in the wrong sites because of the way that we were instructed to drive in; the identification markers were after where our site was. So we had to be one spot over from where we were, but we actually both accidently set up in the sites just after where we should have been. It really wasn't a big deal and clearly it was our own fault, but it could have been more clear. We were excited to maybe play on the mini-golf course, but there was a lot of debris on the greens and the grass all around it really needed to be cut. The decorations around the grounds too look like they could use some TLC. We checked out the (tiny, super tiny) sandy beach area and thought it could have been cleaned up a bit. We went down right away one morning and found garbage on the ground & random dirty beach towels where towels don't belong. Later in the afternoon when we went back down there to see what was going on we saw the same pieces of garbage and towels in the same spots. We thought surely by then someone from the staff would have come cleaned it up. We were looking forward to getting in the water and possibly renting some of the water equipment they had at the campground (which would have been so nice), but we heard from several people there was swimmers itch in the water. What a letdown! Not the campgrounds fault at all, but our experience was less than what it could have been. I think this place has potential to be really fantastic, just needs a little more TLC.

Overall it's a nice campground. However do not expect to bring your drinks and snacks to the beach…read morefor a beach day. Not only will you need to buy to stock your camper for your stay you are also EXPECTED to buy drinks/food from the bar/camp store/tiki bar. So whatever you plan on having for a budget double it or don't go swimming and enjoy your day. Coolers, drinks, food, ect not allowed unless purchased from the campground themselves. $8 for a cheeseburger and $65/night for camping.

We've been coming here over the years with our pup who recently passed but now on a second pup and every time we come, we couldn't be happier.

I went on the shore Shart And finally I escaped in the water Sometimes Shart. And little kids played near it with green sand all over. The staff were incredibly demanding. The new owners have pushed customers out due to no longer allowing ANY carry ins basically forcing you to buy from their bar. Not even water bottles! There was nobody out watching for the new $10 per person wristbands so we basically paid for nothing (aside from Mondays apparently) Aside from hearing about my diabetic issues, they did not allow me to bring any small snacks EVEN THOUGH they allowed me to bring in a backpack that they said we couldn't even have? It was nice to relax in and they have improved on adding a better playground for older kids, but I am not impressed with the raise in prices for everything. If you want a seasonal pass for your family, get ready to pay $150 In the bathrooms, there's black mold, hair everywhere, and white stuff on the curtains. The stalls have the BIGGEST gap I have ever seen, and I've rewatched titanic 500 times. It's almost to your knees and the curtains are transparent. The porta potty: Blood, everywhere Like someone had just been murdered.

My family and I visit MANY campgrounds, and I stumbled across this campground through a review on…read moreFacebook. Since someone else's review took me here, I'm hoping my review will do the same. Everyone was so friendly (staff and campers). My children instantly made friends with the other kids and were inseparable all weekend. There were so many activities for adults and children. My sister and I participated in their poker run, which was a bunch of fun. They did their first annual huckleberry Olympics, and our family had so much fun cheering everyone on, laughing and making memories! They also had fireworks (rescheduled from July 4th), and they did not disappoint. My children are begging me to go back next year, so we will definitely be returning.

Prepare to wake when the sun comes up as the window shades do not begin to block the rising sun, at least in the bedrooms in the inn. The breakfast was delicious, though heavy on carbs. I hope they consider offering some sort of egg with all breakfasts. Pancakes and French toast are good for breakfast but a side of a protein (other than sausage) should be part of all breakfasts. They have water out all day but it is always room temperature, not very refreshing on a hot day.

Enjoyed a three day weekend of camping at Hartman Creek and loved every minute of it…read more We stayed in site 12, which was perfect. It felt secluded with enough trees and undergrowth that we couldn't see our neighbors. There are pit toilets located throughout the park as well as plumbed toilets and showers in a central location. I exclusively used the plumbed toilets and found I never had to wait for one, which was nice. There is a camp store where we were able to pick up some memorabilia and they have a self-serve wood shed where you can purchase bundles of wood and bags of ice. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring, both of which we made use of during our stay. The park itself has lakes, creeks, and over 10 miles of trails. We stuck to campground walks on our most recent trip but have been there previously for day trips where we enjoyed a lovely walks. The campground is beautifully wooded (both deciduous and tamaracks) which is our favorite sort of camping atmosphere. The campground hosts were welcoming and spot on to ensure that all sites are clean and ready for their next guests. Everyone who worked there ensured our stay was as lovely as possible. Get to it!

How about crowds? Does the thought of trying to get away and having to deal with big crowds frustrating to you? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls alike, I have the answer for you. Tons and tons of outdoor fun can be found right here at Hartman Creek State Park and the surrounding areas. It is not that far of a drive from the Chicago Area (about a 4.5 hour drive). If you go up here in the middle of the summer of course there are going to be a good number of people here. Fortunately it is not going to be as crowded as a Devil's Lake or Starved Rock, which automatically give it an A plus rating in my grade book!

Iola, WI. Perhaps an OK place for lunch, but apparently the…read morefocus is on gelato for children. The flavors are bright and shiny and have names like "Cookie Dough". I have had a few flavors in the past that had names like "Coffee". The more grown up flavors were quite tasty but not to be had on this trip. The real reason for our return here was for lunch. We ordered a Hawaiian (Pineapple and Ham) sandwich, a Reuben, and a turkey pesto sandwich. Our waitress was timid and not forthcoming with information. She took our order and our food was ready 30 minutes later. Our small group was the only table being served, another table had already been served. I was getting hungry during that wait and was surprised at the miniature sandwiches that arrived. My Reuben was supposed to be on rye but was served with one of those fluffy two toned breads that have no taste. The sandwich tasted very good, just not enough of it. The sauerkraut was in there but had no distinctive taste at all.My mother liked her Hawaiian sandwich, the size was good for her. My sisters turkey pesto was good but "That's About All". "Too Small" she added. So our waitress completely disappeared after dropping off our dishes. Apparently she doesn't bring the check to the table here, you go to the register. My mother wanted a refill on her coffee so we had to track her down. It took her 15 minutes to refill the coffee. But it wasn't a refill per se. She brought out a new cup! When I paid the bill I was astounded that she charged me for two cups at three dollars each. So here is my brief summation of this place: Food tastes OK. No refills on coffee. Pay at the register, not at the table. Kids meal sized portions. Candy flavored gelato. The vacuous atmosphere of a failing business (OK Maybe That's Too Harsh? Just Seemed Like It).
