Hilltop Campground

Hilltop Campground is a large site covering nearly 10 acres about an hour from Ennis. Located on top of the hill mid-way between Cliff and Wade Lakes, it’s about a 3/4 mile steep, winding drive from the Cliff Lake road. There are 18 sites that are all shaded and quiet, away from the crowds at the lakes. Vault toilet and water are available at this site, however there are no bear resistant food storages boxes available here. We recommend that trailer length does not exceed 22’.
