Hilltop Campground (MT)

Hilltop Campground is 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, all shaded and quiet, away from the crowds at the lakes, on top of a rolling hill in an old growth Douglas fir forest. There are picnic tables and fire rings in each campsite, four rustic outhouses, and three fresh water hydrants spread throughout the campground. There are fishing, swimming and small craft boating opportunities at Cliff Lake, about 1.25 miles away, and Wade Lake, about 1.75 miles away. A hiking trail runs from the campground to Wade Lake campground and also accesses other routes on the trail system. The Madison River, a world famous trout stream, is about seven miles from the campground, and the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park is less than 40 miles.
