Hilltop Lake

Hilltop Lake is a small, secluded haven and great getaway from busy day-to-day life. Enjoy a relaxing day of paddleboarding or sunbathing on the beach, a family fun outing playing on the playground or in the horseshoe pits, or enjoy the scenery on foot or ATV on one of the many trails. The lake is an ideal spot for watersports enthusiasts, and you can often see visitors canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply swimming in the water.

The Day Use Area is open year round, complete with an open shelter, fire pits, picnic tables, and a playground, and is perfect for a family gathering or outing. 

The campground has 10 back-in camping stalls, with added privacy from the natural forest canopy. It is a pet friendly campground and free firewood is available for guests. You can reserve a campsite using the Hilltop Lake reservation page, at camprservations.ca

The lake has it's own Facebook page, with news and information on the campground and area, including opening dates.
