We had a wonderful time at Zilpo, October 16-20, 2024. We stayed at site G-19 with three tents and loved the access to the lake. Unfortunately, they winterized the closest bathhouse the week prior and had a porta-potty instead. This was super clean and fine to use, the other bathroom was a short walk to site G11. Our hosts were awesome and the Halloween decor was a favorite of our toddlers. The site and entire campground was clean and well maintained. The noise was minimal from other campers, there was hardly anyone there during the week. We did find a total of three ticks after our nature walks across the toddlers and dog, but nothing major. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone with small children. Our family has stayed at Koomer Ridge Campground in October for over 40 years, due to Helene we shifted to Zilpo. We will be back. :)

This campground is in a beautiful location. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my favorite places to camp.

This is the first year I have stayed in the G loop. Each previous stay was in the H loop. Our campsite was G019. It was infested with ticks. So many ticks, that we ended up leaving 1 day earlier than planned. Our friends at other spots in G loop had minimal issues with ticks. Our group had a lot of tick bites and the pups had ticks as well. I personally removed over 100 ticks from myself as they were crawling before biting. We will not be returning to this site in the future. We may consider getting a cabin in the future but this was a horrifying experience. I loved camping and our previous stays in H loop were awesome. It is going to take time to get over these ticks and wanting to be in wooded areas.

We are back again 10 days later. Zilpo location is exquisite on a peninsula jutting out into Cave Run Lake. The entire campsite is immaculate and maintained with the love only outdoor people have. Each site is secuded and near the lake. The manager team of Tammy and Duane are delightful Warm, friendly and highly professional. Thank you both for making our experience so memorable. We will be returning to this slice of heaven on earth frequently.
