We love camping at Hillsdale! It's always so relaxing and fun. The grounds are beautiful with abundant wildlife, and the nicest staff. The kids and the dogs love all the trails and sitting by the fire listening to the coyotes and owls. It's very budget friendly, but it gets super busy around holidays, even mother's day, so book in advance. Bathrooms are very well kept, and the swimming beach is always a hit with the kiddos. Whether you are primitive camping or bring a camper, you are sure to enjoy yourself.

Made campground reservations and they still made us pay an additional $5.00 for EACH day we were going to be staying at their location. A little ridiculous if you ask me. Otherwise we were very pleased. Slightly unlevel campsites and a little disappointing due to the fact it is operated by US Army Corps of Engineers. Well manicured parks, beautiful water views, friendly staff. The tiny little park store was neatly stocked and clean.

Strongly do not recommend Hillsdale Lake What can I say i thought this would be a nice little spot to relax. Nope, I have a rooftop tent so I camp with my car. I found a primitive campsite and set up. Talk a walk, eat dinner, read a book. 10pm rolls around and I'm ready to climb up in my tent and go to sleep. Well about 10:15pm a lady comes up to the tent and says I need to pack up and find another spot that is not on grass. I asked her why was I not told this earlier, I had been there for about 5 hours already. She said "We were busy with other calls." I ask, "You had a call on me?" Her response, "yes, you're on the grass and you cant be here" Well someone needs to tell the person at the front station these rules because I asked her because my tent is a bit odd that it's on the car. Where can't I set up at this park. Her response was that I couldn't go on any paved utility sites. I was 100% fine with that, those are the rules that I followed. Apparently the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing out there. Strongly do not recommend Hillsdale Lake

Great place to camp with your RV. The RV park here mostly has north or west facing concrete pads. There are a few gravel pads. The location is a short walk to the lake. The boat ramps are near by.

We love camping here, I believe this is our fourth time, for the closeness to home and lake beauty. We love how close we are to the lake, although with there were slightly better hiking trails. We love going out hiking and the only trail we could find close to our campground we believe was just a disc golf course. We do love the overall ambiance and use of bathrooms and will continue to come!

We camp here a lot and like the cheap spots close to the water. Great If you like to kayak. Showers for Crappie Cove could be better, and I did see that they are working on them this fall. Expect people, though, not some serene quiet space. Also, the water is muddy and would not suggest if bothered by that.

We've stayed here twice. The location is great for us, only 30 miles from home so it's easy for a quick weekend getaway. But .... at both Scott's Creek and Pintail coves, not only are there lots of trees in the lake cove, they are full of turtles. You see them swimming around. We've had two great camping sites, both with great views and shade, just wish there was a better spot to fish.
