The campsite locations range from grassy open areas to sites dominated by immense hemlock trees. The area opens the second Friday in April and closes the third weekend in October. Electric and water hookups are not available at the campsites. However, modern washhouses with warm showers, comfort stations, and water fountains are situated in central locations throughout the camping area. A sanitary dump station is located just outside the camping area for those who have self-contained units.
Camping is popular throughout the year.
Ten modern rental cabins are available for year-round use. Additional information may be obtained at the park office. Weekly reservations are required during the summer. Wildlife abounds in and around Hills Creek State Park. Along with the active beaver colonies are other water loving creatures such as muskrats, wood ducks, osprey, and great blue herons.
