Restrooms were dirty & had mold on the walls. Previous complaint had the facility paint over the mold. Our next trip the mold was back. Hosts are not readily available. Trash along shoreline bordering campgrounds. We have loved this campground for years but it has fallen apart this year.

My family stayed two nights in one of the small, electric cabins. It was very nice! Nothing fancy, 2 bunkbeds, a small table and chairs, a room air conditioner, a nice sized covered porch as well. It was very well kept and clean, inside and out. The camp hosts were very nice. One of them even heard my 2 year... More

My family and I have been wanting to go camping at Cave Run Lake for the past couple of years. We decided on Zilpo because it is a little more secluded than Twin Knobs. Be prepared for a bit of a long drive on curvy roads to get to Zilpo, but it is worth the drive. Try not to forget... More

My family and I have planned a camping trip to zilpo for 4 years now. We have already been there once this year and planning to go back before summer is over. The camp sites are very spacious and clean. There are bathhouses and bathrooms that are walking distance. We have stayed in B,G,F,H loop. It is a very quiet... More

Beautiful area and lake. Stayed in the H loop. Camp sites are well maintained. The restroom facilities are clean but are showing age. There are hot showers. The one big problem for me was a lot of garbage, mostly bottles on shore that was washed up by high water. No signs of any attempts to clean it up by the... More

I have been camping at Zilpo on a regular basis for 4 years now and I have found that it is safe and secure. Bathhouses in H are the best of all loops. I have never had an issue with ticks, nor critters like snakes when coming here. I always enjoy the deer and other wildlife that is usually present.... More

The Site I stayed in site # 167 (a double campsite) in Loop C of Zilpo Campground from July 2nd – 5th, 2009. I’m assuming there were more people there than usual because of the 4th of July Holiday. This site is partial sunlight, so there is always somewhere on the site that is shaded. It was a large site... More

The campsites are graveled with firepits to cook on. Plenty of water spouts so you dont have to walk far to get water. The bathrooms are clean and have hot water. The staff are very friendly and dont ever bother you. If you have a problem they will take care of it right away. Its is a good distance from... More

While I have been to both better and worse campgrounds around the country, Zilpo Campground in the Daniel Boone National Forest outside of Salt Lick, KY is a very nice campground for those that are seeking a secluded experience, without the hassle of actual seclusion. Our camping pad was big enough for two tents, came equipped with a fire pit,... More
