Site 34 close to drinking water and vault toilet. Good size pad for my 20ft rv. Tent pad and picnic table and fire ring well laid out.
34 and the Neighboring sites are spaced well apart
. Andrew the CG host was nice. He checked the sites at least 2 times a day

It was our first time visiting. The site was clean with lots of direct sunlight. The host was friendly. We were able to easily hike down to the lake and also park for free by the lake to go kayaking. We enjoyed it and would recommend.

We had such a wonderful time. We're really surprised that it was so quite for Memorial Day weekend. Andrew one of the hosts was very accommodating. Jeff and Kim the camp host were so delightful. Will be going back soon.

Overall the campground was pretty good. Quiet with lots of trees and nice breeze's all day. I got the unlucky draw of site 16. The website says its camper/trailer accessible...IT IS NOT. No room for a camper in any way possible! Tents only. Lynx lake was great, the kids had fun fishing and swimming for a bit. The camp host was friendly and around with any questions that we may have had. I would go there again but a different site.

One of my favorite spaces, great for quiet and privacy. Be aware that this space has stairs though--about 8 steps down to the site and another few steps down to the tent pad.

The host was super nice. When I arrived I realized the spot I had chosen online didn't fit with my truck camping needs and he easliy and happily helped me find a spot that would. It was a lovely site with little garbage anywhere. He gave me good info about hiking to the lake.
Although there was a lot of rubbish around Lynx Lake. Perhaps you could post more about picking up especially on behalf of all the wildlife that lives there. So many plastic caps. Please consider banning single use bottles and any glass bottles from the area. I picked up a lot of that kind of picnic trash and posted about it on my social media.
I'll definitely camp at Hilltop again. Already planning on it.

Great spacing for all the campsites in the forest south of the lake to permit more privacy between campsites.
