My group of 6 had a great time ice fishing with Mr. Bluegill. Got some real nice walleyes and…read morelearned a lot from Troy. Troy was very good at taking the time to explain proper techniques and answering our questions. Even more impressive was his energy and effort in constantly searching the lake for a better location and better bite. Under some adverse conditions on Day 2, he even had us out on 3 different lakes looking for fish which were being very tight-lipped that day. He uses only top-notch equipment and the latest in ice fishing technology. His fee is reasonable and even includes a fresh cooked hot lunch on the ice (for full day trips) which we really enjoyed.

Either you caught Bob on EXTEREMLY BAD DAY or the details of the complaint may be skewed. Bob is one of the great guys on the river (his wife Rita is the greatest too) , he'll laugh with you, tell fish stories and he can make a mean cheeseburger! My wife and I highly recommend a stop or stay at Red Banks, good food and nice people! Really.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.The staff is extremely rude and completely…read moreunprofessional. Long story short: we arrived to launch our boat and were immediately greeted by an incredibly rude man who asked, "What do you need?" He then continued to speak to me like I was trash, as if I had no clue how to park a trailer. I remained respectful the entire time, but it almost seemed like he got angrier because I wouldn't argue back. he eventually told me to "get the f*** out." At first, I thought maybe he was just having a rough morning since we arrived around 6:30 a.m., but several other people nearby confirmed that he's always like that. Neither I nor any of my friends will ever spend a dime here again. I highly recommend finding another place -- one that actually values your business and treats you with basic respect.

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!
