Hartford Beach State Park — Attraction in Milbank

We were day- use visitors this time. However, rest rooms were clean, Beach space for many activities was plentiful, some Sandy Beach some Stone Beach. There was a place to allow our dog to play fetch into the water. In the area we swam there was some seaweed, and some plant debris in the water. We were surprised how warm the water was for this early in the season.( Memorial Day weekend.) We learned you can rent Kayaks and paddleboards $15 for 3 hours and $30 for all day. They do see Heavy use on busy weekends. Today we rode our bicycles around the two campgrounds, checking them out for future trips. Again new showers and nice camping areas both east and west. Most West units were well shaded. East camping spots had some shaded and some open sites. We took the beach Trail between the West Campground and the Beach area. This kept us off the road and in relatively cool forested areas. Sorry, I didn't catch any pictures of the swimming area as we left all of our Electronics in the vehicle. Let's say on a busy weekend, there were adequate picnic tables, plenty of Sunny places, and lots of shady places to choose from. As well as a playground for the under 10 crowd.

It’s early May, and it’s us and the camp hosts.

Devine, Day-yes, it truly is the best! Great play area. You can rent stuff too. Ummmm….paddle board,kayak,bicycle…can’t remember all of it. Until next time, our treehouse on wheels will venture on!

P.S. Not too sure we want to be here in season it’s a little too “RV...

We stayed there over memorial weekend on the west campground (bottom) when we arrived on Thursday the grass wasn't mowed but we seen the host mowing his and thought he was going to mow the rest but he never did the whole weekend we were there... the park ranger only came threw the campground maybe 2 times the while time we were there. We went to the east campground that was all mowed and taken care of!! I feel like they don't care about the bottom campground anymore. Seems like it's all about the top even if they have something going on they always do it up top. Y can't they take care of the bottom and have activities...
