I stayed in campground 31 with an RV. The site was level and perfect for an RV

@EduardoB4F83DC · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #19

Camping spot so small and not good for seniors

@ThomasL2772337 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #34

Nice place to relax

@ShanandoaE2FF6 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #23

Clean and quiet campsite. We will come back to Hilltop again!

@ANDREWL5237889 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #37

Hidden Gem. Super clean and an excellent camp host that was always available and super helpful. Thank you ! Will be back again.

@AnitaN96C99157 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #23

I stayed in campsite 23 which absolutely has a stunning view. I loved my stay here. I think this is the third or fourth time I have stayed here. The views cant be beat. The campground is clean and I love the short walk to Lynx Lake. I am a fan forever.

@Heidelore2FD79 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #31

Well the site was good and clean however we saw no camp host or ranger checks the entire 4.5 days. Thankfully not many folks up there and all respectful however what if we needed something or had questions?

@JeffA9550709 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #29

Clean campground and site. I did not use the restroom or any other facilities besides the site. Due to the size of my trailer, I had to use a double occupancy site. For $40+ per night, I felt it was over priced since there was not electric, water or sewer.

@RobertA1820332 · Camped on Apr 16, 2025 at Campsite #34

Nicely maintained campground, tall pines all around, water supply is working again after being off for a year. Verizon cell service is usable throughout but best in the C loop and weakest in the A loop.

@JamesP5278675 · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #33

Excellent work

@LauraD1350391 · Camped on Apr 7, 2025 at Campsite #12

Nice an quiet because only a few people were camped this time of year. The fire ring in our site an a few others we looked at while walking around camp were filled with trash, beer cans, chicken bones etc. Bathrooms were clean tho. Will probably camp here again but only in really slow season. If camp was fuller the noise level would be horrible because it would echo in the canyon.

@MatthewC862969 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #13

Situated in a beautiful ponderosa pine forest, quiet, peaceful, close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough away for campground to feel remote. Clean and well maintained. I would camp here again.

@PATRICIA545438 · Camped on Oct 26, 2024 at Campsite #15

We love Hilltop. The campsite was clean and felt secluded. We hiked down to Lynx Lake with our dogs. It is a great hike and took about half an hour from our site. Will be back next year when the season opens.

@FrankP8013762 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #31

Facilities adequate, easy access, experience marred slightly by weekend warrior drunks bloviating into the night

@DebraC1743C063 · Camped on Oct 21, 2024 at Campsite #31

Site was level and my husband who is on a walker was able to move about with minimal difficulty. Access to water was just across from the camp site but the water was turned off for maintenance.

@KimberlyW67F0B · Camped on Oct 21, 2024 at Campsite #37

Very quiet campground mid- week in October. Vault toilets were clean. Great hiking from campground. Very convenient to Walmart & Gas.

@UrsulynKFA4C06 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #18

Lynx lake is one of our favorite places to camp and we come back almost every year

@KarisseSDB5486 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #26

This campground was clean, well maintained and had good shady spots from the forest trees. However, there was NO WATER ANYWHERE! None of the water pump stations worked. There was one 55 gallon drum of water outside the outhouse-restrooms, however, it was sealed and you would need your own bung wrench and hand pump to access the water in the drum. (I think the drum of water was there for staff only to clean the outhouses.) I brought drinking water with me, but I had planned to use campground water for doing dishes, brushing teeth, etc. and was disappointed when I had to leave camp, drive to town and purchase more bottled water for camp clean-up and hygiene.One other thing I didn't like about the campground is that there were steel posts embedded in the ground that prevented me from backing up my vehicle to the concrete picnic table. This was very inconvenient for car camping as I didn't pitch a tent and was using my car as part of my "camping rig" to sleep in and keep gear in that I didn't want to get wet. So, I ended up setting up my tarp and a portable camp table on the asphalt driveway rather than using the designated camping area as it was too far away my vehicle. Why do they prevent people from backing up their vehicle into the camping space??? Is it because they don't want a vehicle near the fire pit??? Even if I had pitched a tent, it still would of been inconvenient and difficult for me to carry all my gear that far away from my vehicle to a "vehicle-free" camping area. I would of needed a wagon or cart to assist me, and even then, I don't know if the gap between the steel posts was wide enough for a wagon, nor was there room in my car to pack a wagon for towing gear! To me, this is just government making it difficult for people to camp! It requires a person to be young, strong and fit, and is not very ideal for seniors! Nor is it very ideal for car camping or RV camping!

@JeffreyK015481 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #15

Much better than Lynx campground. Spaces are further apart and more quiet.

@AnnmarieL76871 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #13

This is my favorite campground, I love the sites and the proximity to Lynx Lake. Tip: Pick up firewood on your way in. Host was "off duty" at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon.

@jeanB8384780 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #23

Not having access to water was an inconvenience (of which we were notified in advance), but this is still one of our favorite campgrounds. The sites are well spaced, well maintained and nicely laid out and the toilets are always clean. It is amazing to find such a great campground so close to downtown Prescott with easy access to all of the areas' wonderful lakes. The resident owls and coyotes have serenaded us on the several occasions we have stayed at Hilltop.

@MerleBCC8C8CFB · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #30

Nice well kept campground

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #20

Great space!

@MaryJoL47A86E0 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #21

The camp ground was beautiful except for the problem of having no water available in the entire camp ground nor down by the lake. The lake is beautiful but the parking on weekends is a nightmare. They definitely need to add more parking.

@PaulF2981841 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #20

Site 20 in Hilltop Campground is great for tent camping but not so good for RVs or travel trailers. That's because the pad is basically just a shoulder of the road that travels through the campground. Tent campers will be treated to a nice flat, well-groomed area to pitch a tent (or two) adjacent to a huge concrete picnic table and fire ring.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
