Quiet, great location, clean campground and a fair amount of privacy at some of the sites (not all)

The camp site was easy to access, just minutes away from whatever you need. If you forget something, there's retail nearby, even a sportsmans warehouse not terribly far away. We came early and rented kayaks from the marina and played, then checked into our spot at 2pm. Campsite was clean, composting restrooms were clean, water pump worked fine. Host was friendly. Even though there were lots of other families camping that day it was peaceful and quiet. Would definitely come out again.

The campsite was clean and spacious. Plenty of available water and clean restrooms. The Hilltop manager was very nice and helpful.

The campsite we selected was very private and close to the bathroom and fresh water. The experience was incredible; however, the campsite wasn't in excellent condition when we arrived. The fire pit wasn't clean, and areas around the pit were scattered with coals and paper. We left the campsite in much better condition than when we arrived.

We stayed at loop B site 18. We have stayed at Hilltop several times and was one of our favorites. This trip changed that: never saw a camp host, found cigarette butts all over our site along with other garbage, bathrooms were horrible. Drove by camp host site several times to see about buying wood no one there. Site itself had very little shade as other have stated. Good distance from other sites with easy access to them if you come as a family and need more than one site. Never saw a host clean up when others left their sites. Will never book this site again due to no shade. Will consider other campgrounds in the future which is a shame as we have always had pleasant experiences here at Hilltop in the past. No luck with fishing this trip.

We had a wonderful experience at Hilltop campground. It was clean, well taken-care of, and the host was very helpful. We had a beautiful view and we liked that we weren't too terribly close to others around us. We enjoyed the hiking paths and the path to the lake with our pups. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful site, quiet, mostly flat, which is good for pitching a tent or if you have health issues. Also great views and good tree cover.
