Take a short 1-3 minute walk back into the woods to choose an area to set up your tent. There are several open air shelters available for day use. Make friends with the host chickens (Pizza, Helen, Quartz, Oreo, Big Brownie, Aunt Kathy, Cherry, Garcia, Little Orp, and Linguine) and get some fresh eggs for your breakfast. Baked goods and other treats also available for purchase upon request. You will have full access to the campfire circle, outdoor game room (foosball for the win!), and nature playscape (yes, even adults can swing on the rope!). The property also provides other outdoor games such as good ole' fashioned tetherball, a gaga ball pit (Israeli Dodgeball), and a variety of other sport equipment to use during your stay.

The best camping near Hartman Creek State Park guide

Overview

About

Hassle-free camping at its best! Hartman Creek State Park in central Wisconsin is the perfect place for the camping greenhorn, or the die-hard just looking for maximum relaxation. Shimmering see-through waters sparkle on the lake and tall pines shade in the campsites. From mountain bikes and kayaks to all varieties of camping gear, this park has taken all your stress away with rentals of just about anything you left at home.

Despite its proximity to Green Bay, Madison, and even Chicago, the masses don’t flock to this hidden gem, so you’ll have all the quiet you need to forget about crowds and city life. Spend a day hiking Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail, or go check out the art galleries in town—whatever you do, make sure you’re chilling hard.
