Hartford Beach Compground
Typically I hate all campground hosts because they don't mind their own business. However this host was top notch. Didn't bother anyone yet super helpful when asked questions and advice. Complete opposite of Oahe Downstream 3 host. They only issue at Hartford is how people park in sites 14E and 15E. Completely hoses people trying to make the corner with their camper without hitting the tree. Bring bug spray!!! Mosquitos are thick.

Great park
Very nice park. Favorite spot was the beach! Decent bathrooms/showers. Trails are pretty easy walking and coming across the little hidden beach areas was a nice surprise.

South Dakota is committed to their parks and camp grounds made obvious by having staffed check in stations and grounds keepers making rounds throughout the weekend. The bath house is clean and maintained regularly. Thank you for having seats and plenty of hooks or shelves to keep items handy.

Nice park to camp in
Our site was great. Overall, the park is very well maintained. Camp host was friendly. Park was quiet during our stay :-). Although the park apparently has rental equipment, it is not obvious how/where to rent.
Entrance was staffed on Sunday when we arrived but closed thru the following Thursday when we left. Would be nice to have a store on site to buy merch. We like to at least purchase a park sticker for each location we camp in.

Need More Convient Water Hookups and Dump Stations
It would be great to move the water and dump locations on the way in and out of the main park. Also, please clearly mark the spots . It is confusing to have an east park but spots labeled 12e, that is in the west spot. Either change to 12w or get rid of the e.
Also, the water hookups would be an amazing update. Put one between two spots and a bifurcating valve so both can have water hookups. There were no workers during checkin.

Camp hosts are not very informative about fees for camp.
Charged for electricity and water but there was none at our site.
Only one trash can available for the whole campground.

Hartford Beach
We enjoy the campground. We went to get some wood, but there wasn't any and we couldn't find any park staff members to ask about it. We like going on the trails. Only suggestion there would be to have a bench to sit for a moment about half way through. It gets a little long for some of us older people.

Family Fun
Beautiful place to come stay in the Camper Cabins in the fall if you can handle the less amenities. We make it a family annual trip. Enjoying the fishing, archery course, hikes and just sitting around enjoy each others company. 2 of the camper cabin sites are more sucluded so you feel like you have the whole park to yourself. We love it anf look forward to it every year. Cabins are clean and spacious and staff help and answer questions promptly.

Hartford Beach St Park is our new gold standard for state parks. Can't imagine how it could have been more pleasant
