The Hartsel cemetery is located on the south hill overlooking the town of Hartsel, Colorado (Park County). It was used for public burials but the property is privately owned and requires permission to visit. No further information on the history of the cemetery has been located.
There are at least 8 unmarked graves noted by either stones or dilapidated fencing.
The cemetery has no sign or recognizable boundary.

"Hartsel Cemetery (1888)
Hartsel Cemetery is located a quarter-mile south of the community of Hartsel on a hill overlooking the Middle Fork of the South Platte River. The first documented burial in the cemetery appears to date to 1888, when Samuel B. Hartsel, the infant son of town founder Samuel Hartsel, was laid to rest. Hartsel's brother, Joseph, was killed by lightning in 1903 and also buried here, but relatives had his and Samuel's graves exhumed in 1910 for relocation to Denver's Fairmount Cemetery. The handful of other documented burials in the cemetery includes an elderly resident of
Balfour and a Colorado Midland Railway worker. A 2014 Park County reconnaissance survey form estimated a total of ten graves. This community cemetery was abandoned in the early twentieth century and only three grave markers remain, the oldest one dated 1907."
