I feel lucky to live so close to Lake Herman State Park. The park is beautiful, with a diversity of wildlife. Also, the park is well-maintained.
We recently had a bad windstorm in the Madison area, which took out a lot of trees. The workers at the park worked tirelessly to get the park back open. I went on a hike, and I could see the great work they did in cleaning up the park.
I have also, a few other times, stayed in the cabins for a couple of nights. The cabins were clean. I love that there is a heater/air conditioner in every cabin.
The restrooms have always been clean every time I've been in there.
Another really cool thing about the park is that there are worship services held outside in a little amphitheater in the park on Sunday mornings. It's an amazing atmosphere in which to worship.
This park is not too busy. It's easy to find a quiet place in the park, where you may encounter wildlife.
I highly recommend...
   Read moreWe stayed one night and deeply regretted it BECAUSE it was so wonderful. I can't remember what site we booked, but we had a corner spot that had a huge grassy area and a small beach. There was a trail that was between us and the beach, but very few people walked along the trail while we were there. We had great cell service with Verizon that allowed us to work remote. The host was very nice. Firewood was available for self-service purchase. The lakes were gorgeous. Bathrooms were warm and clean. It was very quiet and nicely manicured. The nearby town has great food. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stay there again. I might even go out of my way to stay...
