Very pretty...very quiet...very clean...incredibly nice campground
We got there late in the evening, but the check in/self pay process was very simple and straight forward. Fees were incredibly reasonable for such a nice campground, and it was very quiet, even though there were lots of people enjoying this campground. Lovely atmosphere!
We arrived late, so we had to self pay. But all that paperwork and payment took place inside a little heated shelter house of sorts. Bonus! Most of the time, the pay envelopes are outside and you have to duck into your car, fill it out, and dart back into the dark to the drop box. There was even a campground map showing which spaces were taken and available (at the time the attendant went home for the day). This was nice, but the space we thought was open had been taken by someone moments before. So not fool proof, but a decent guide for those arriving after dark. We still found another space and made it our home for the night. Not to mention, they had one of the best maps I've ever seen!
Fees:
$5 per adult
$5 per car or vehicle
$5 if you didn't have a park sticker
$5 if you made the reservation online or by phone.
$5 for electric
Soooo...if you had 2 adults, one car and needed electric, then it would be $20. And so forth...
This place is so quiet! The campground was very full that night, but we heard almost nothing from people at all. Just a little chatter from a couple guys nearby, but at a very respectful level. We actually got to enjoy the night sounds of pitter patter rain and the occasional owl in the distance. No road noise.
The sites are spread out enough to make this peaceful and private, but close enough to make the campground functional and cozy. Electric sites (designated with an "E" beside the number) were scattered with non electric sites. Electrics were more plentiful, though. Tent sites were also available, if you like. They were grouped together in a different area. Our closest neighbors site was within view of the fire ring, but no one was there this night. The sites were deep, so you could pull in and nestle in the trees, even if you had a neighbor, and it was more private. There was a nice picnic table near the fire ring, which was quite nice for a fire, but no grate for cooking on. The pad we pulled into was fairly level and covered in pea gravel. We were using our teardrop trailer this night instead of a tent.
There were bathrooms scattered around with very clean pit-type toilets, and there were multiple toilets in "mens" and "women's" rooms. There was also a shower house with pay showers, but prices were very reasonable. I think it was 25 cents for 5 minutes, and the more quarters you put in, the more time you got. There was also a row of sinks and mirrors under a sheltered roof as well as a pay washer and dryer, something I've never seen before at a campground.
Beyond the other lovely amenities, they had picnic tables everywhere, drinking water spigots, fire pits at every site and a playground for the kids.
Overall, definitely one of the more perfect places to camp. And if you had extra time, there was a lake at the other end of the park. And equestrian trails and an equestrian camp, but it was closed because of mud.
Located in gorgeous Amish country, the drive back to the interstate to head north again was incredibly enjoyable and a great way to end a great camping adventure.

Beautiful
We camped in the family campground with our 17 foot Casita travel trailer. Large private site surrounded by trees, with several options for positioning the trailer. The nearby chain of small lakes connected by narrows is ideal for kayaking. Lots of level paved roads for cycling, and wooded trails for hiking. Clean restrooms with showers.

Hartman Creek State Park Campground
Fun times!!!
I just stayed at this campground this weekend and it was a blast! The campsite we had was decently size and felt very private with all the trees surrounding us! The hiking is great and it was a short walk to the beach, it was also a short car ride to the chain of lakes!

Hartman Creek State Park Campground
Hartman Creek State Park- gorgeous & family friendly.
A gorgeous family friendly campground! Our site was located overlooking Allen Lake, right in the tall pines. It was a great location, enough trees for kids to hang hammocks for a little relaxation.
Bathrooms with showers available and in good condition. Pit toilets located nearby as well.
Allen Lake has a fishing pier that the kids loved fishing from. Good catches early in the morning!
Hartman Creek is a nice small lake, with no wake. There is now a rental building available with kayaks, paddle boats, SUP, etc to rent. We rented kayaks for an hour and a very reasonable price. Small lake so we were able to explore— saw about 3 dozen turtles which was super fun for the kids.
There are hiking trails available and also paved trails for bike riding, walking, etc.
We loved the quietness at night. Not entirely sure, but I believe there is a quite policy after 10pm. Gorgeous to look up and see the amazing stars at night.
I went here all the time as a kid and this was my first time back taking kids. We will be back again!

Good spot
Pretty full, but also pretty quiet place. Clean bathrooms with showers. Most sites don’t have hookups. There’s an upcharge for out-of-staters. Easy access to trails, lakes, and a short jaunt to beautiful downtown Waupaca. Would stay again!
Guide to Westfield

The region features sandy soil with mixed forest terrain at elevations ranging from 800-1100 feet. Seasonal operation for most horse campgrounds typically runs April through October, with some facilities closing earlier in fall due to Wisconsin's variable weather conditions.
What to do
Horseback riding on dedicated trails: Hartman Creek State Park Campground connects directly to the Ice Age Trail with well-maintained paths. "This Beach is perfect, horse trails, biking trails. Right along the ice age trail!" reports Leah K. The park offers paved roads alongside natural terrain for varied riding experiences.
Lake swimming and boating: At Merry Mac's Campground, water recreation includes a pond with floating inflatables. "Super fun campground with so much to do! Lake full of all kinds of floats the kids can climb and jump on," writes Tracy C. The facility includes both a natural swimming area and maintained pool.
Mountain biking and trail cycling: The sandy soil creates challenging terrain for cyclists throughout the region. Ame G. notes that Hartman Creek has "paved roads and great off road cycling access," while Sara K. adds they "love the single trail bike paths through the woods."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: White Mound County Campground receives praise for site layout. "The campsites are tucked away and private," reports Jaime L. Amy G. adds that "The sites are spread out enough to make this peaceful and private, but close enough to make the campground functional and cozy."
Clean facilities: Bathhouses and restrooms at most area campgrounds receive regular maintenance. At Lakeside Fire Campground & Waterpark, Glenn T. reports "all amenities are very nice." This cleanliness extends to swimming areas, with Jaime L. noting at White Mound, "The lake is gorgeous and clean."
Wooded campsites: Shade coverage is substantial at most equestrian campgrounds near Westfield. Jimmy P. describes Hartman Creek: "Our site was larger, almost fully shaded under a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees." These shaded sites help moderate temperatures during summer camping season.
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Most equestrian facilities close by mid-October. Merry Mac's Campground operates "Apr 15 - Oct 15," while many state parks extend slightly longer into November.
Site reservation needs: Booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially for weekends. Taylor U. notes that at Sleepy Dragon Campground, "I thought the stay price was reasonable and there are lots of options for sites and bathrooms."
Varied bathrooms and showers: Facilities range from modern to rustic across different campgrounds. Stacey N. cautions about White Mound: "I don't mind the pit toilets, but at least clean the building. And at least have enough light in the building so one can see at night."
Water temperature: Swimming areas may be colder than expected. Jaime L. warns about White Mound County Campground: "The only downfall is the lake is spring-fed so it's a bit cold for swimming."
Tips for camping with families
Check for planned activities: Weekend events create entertainment for children at several locations. Tracy C. shares that Merry Mac's has "Lots of planned activities on weekends. We stayed during water wars and the kids had a blast!"
Look for fishing opportunities: Many area lakes offer accessible fishing for children. Jen E. reports at Hartman Creek: "Allen Lake has a fishing pier that the kids loved fishing from. Good catches early in the morning!"
Consider facilities for multiple generations: Wild West Campground & Corral and other equestrian-focused campgrounds provide options for families with varying needs. Dave S. notes, "Being able to watch the horses was very calming. We would recommend this place to others."
Pack for sandy soil: The region's soil composition affects gear requirements. Jimmy P. mentioned at Hartman Creek, "The only thing I didn't like was the sandy soil, but otherwise our site was awesome."
Tips from RVers
Electric service varies: Check amperage before booking as not all sites offer the same power levels. Wild West Campground provides 30-amp service while Hartman Creek offers 50-amp hookups at designated sites.
Site size considerations: RV length restrictions apply at certain campgrounds. Amy G. describes White Mound: "The pad we pulled into was fairly level and covered in pea gravel. We were using our teardrop trailer this night instead of a tent."
Quiet hour enforcement: Policies vary by campground. Amy G. reports White Mound is "so quiet! The campground was very full that night, but we heard almost nothing from people at all."
Dump station availability: Not all horse campgrounds provide full sanitary services. Michael D. appreciates that Merry Mac's has "great wifi, clean bathhouses/rooms" along with standard hookups, making it suitable for extended RV stays.
