Off Interstate 57, Hilltop Campground sits on a small property that draws both overnight travelers and seasonal campers. The facility accommodates RVs up to 75 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it.
Campers consistently note the campground's quiet atmosphere, though some long-term residents keep multiple dogs that can create noise. The restroom facilities show their age but maintain cleanliness, though showers only provide lukewarm water due to single-valve systems. Sites offer shade and the property stays well-maintained throughout the year.
The location works well for accessing Shawnee National Forest hiking trails, with Group Campground — Ferne Clyffe State Park located nearby for those wanting state park amenities. "Close to lots of Shawnee Forest hiking locations," notes David F.. The campground operates year-round and accepts reservations, making it reliable for trip planning.
For travelers needing more options in the region, campgrounds outside Goreville provide additional choices. Bring quarters for showers and check with hosts about WiFi passwords upon arrival.
