    WI > Hartman Creek State Park > Group Site - Potential Hang Location? Anyone know?

    I've been searching on-line for potential places which could accommodate a group hang. I've never been to Hartman State Park and see they have five group sites. Sites #2 and #4 look like they are potentially really hammock friendly.

    I found this video which shows the group site #2 at the 4:44 mark and site #4 at the 5:55 mark, but the video is almost 8 years old.

    Anyone know if any of the group sites would be a good place for a group hang?

    Wife and I plan to go to Hartman Creek State Park tomorrow to check out group campsite #4 for a May 2017 group hang.

    You Tube has some excellent video coverage (John Wanserski's posts, I think.

    Looks doable. We'll see... 5 group sites, first three are in a meadow / no trees, but site #4 and/or site #5 have potential.

    Camped there many times over the years. Group sites are open areas but there are areas of woods on some sites and between others. The group sites are across a road from the general camping sites. Site 4 and 5 would be best in my humble opinion.

    There are pit toilets in group camping and general camping area has flush toilets and showers. If you plan this, count Tracker and I in because this is my favorite State Park. If you need or want help planning let me know, be glad to help.

    I know someone who's land butts up right to Hartman Creek who shared some intrest in having a hand on his private land, if any one is intrested. Its about a 200yrd walk in

    Katt - If you are saying someone is interested in hosting a hang on their private land, then I would like to get a tour of this place. If you would be able to make the arrangements, that'd be great. I'll be posting details of the HCSP May hang soon. It would be nice to see this place while I'm up there for the hang.

    Tumbleweed confirmed Group site #4 is the best. I'll let you know if there's anything to help with. Thank you for the offer!

    We had cryofthewilds birthday camp out up there, it is a nice place with easy access to the camp site and lots of places to hang
