Great campground. Host cleaned bathrooms regularly but sites needed raked and picked up desperately. Fire pits needed ash and trash removed. Stayed three nights and host had zero contact with us.

Campground was decent with some nice sites. Our site had very little shade and camper was too hot to be inside until bed time. Campground host was not attentive to bathrooms, we stayed two nights and never spoke with him and bathrooms were never cleaned while we were there.

Hilltop Campground is one of my favorites. I try to make it out at least 3 to 4 times a year. It is so well kept up the Camp Host runs a great camp. He has been there for four seasons now and you can see that he really puts his heart and soul into the camp. I’ve never had an issue here except for once and the Camp Host took care of it immediately I cannot highly recommend this camp enough. Some spaces are better than others. I prefer the spaces that you back into rather than park on the road. Scenery is beautiful. Water is readily available along with trash. I hope to come visit here many more times.

Camp site was very clean, nice and flat area for tents. Bathrooms weren’t far away and there were dumpsters to throw away your trash. I stayed in the B loop, they’re a trail you can take (steep at some points but has switchbacks). Only gripe was being so close to other camp sites—I could hear everything they were doing and saying so it felt a bit less private.

We stayed for two nights. The campsite was super forested and nice, it truly is hilltop and you look downwards as you frive around parts of the campground. bathrooms were pretty clean considering they are pit toilets, had some issues at arrival with another guest being in our spot staying from the night before, was not able to get in contact with the host that night but my fiance talked with them about their reservation and we were able to set up after they left, although pretty late. The host came that morning and was very nice and helpful and confirmed that we were not double booked on our spot. Overall a nice campground really close driving distance to lynx lake.

This was our first visit here and we loved it! The grounds and facilities were clean. The camps were spaced far enough away so you couldn't see and barely hear neighbors. We loved the picnic table and firepits too! We will definitely be back!

Super clean restrooms, tall trees, private large flat camp sites (#21 is my favorite for 20ft trailer), great camp hosts. Nearby Watson Lake for kayaking and canoeing while Lynx Lake is low for dam repair.

A great place to say price is reasonable. The lake was a little lower this year. Hopefully it’ll be full next year. Lots of space nicely. We have stayed there six or seven times.
