Daniel Boone/Zilpo Campground

We stayed in G-Loop and had a wonderful experience! Our camp hosts Jason and Lisa were phenomenal, have never had such wonderful sweet hosts. They worked so hard to make everyone's stay comfortable, picking up debris after hurricane damage, and even hosting a new tradition of trick-or-treat in the campground. Such a sweet place with precious memories. Our campsite was SO comfortable, the place was very clean, and the lake was so beautiful! Had a wonderful relaxing time away. Yes there are mosquitos and ticks while hiking- just part of the outdoors- bring bug spray for hikes and some Therm-o-cell citronella for the evenings at camp and you'll be just fine. Happy camping!

All around, top notch, 5 star experience. Campground very nice, clean, and organized. Boat ramp easy accessible, beach, store, ice anything you could possibly need. Staff both friendly and helpful and go well above and beyond expectations. G loop host, Buffalo and Lisa receive my highest compliments. They have done a fantastic job keeping Zilpo Campground a true hidden gem. Thank you all.

Beautiful spot for a weekend getaway with my family! Loved the convenience of having direct access to cave run lake. Our site and cabin were both as clean as you can get when outdoors and the cold AC in the cabin was very refreshing after a hot day spent on the lake! I loved seeing the wildlife and the fact that anything I needed the staff was there to help without any complaints! We will be making a trip up very frequently :)

We recently stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. This was my first trip there in 17 years and it was nothing short of amazing. The entrance is beautiful, you feel like you are driving in to a mountain retreat. Our campsite was clean and all amenities were available. The staff was so friendly and so welcoming. We’ve already booked again for July!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zilpo Campground on the F loop, and it was an unforgettable experience! The natural beauty of Daniel Boone National Forest is breathtaking, and Zilpo Campground offers the perfect setting to immerse yourself in it. What made my stay truly exceptional were the incredible staff members, especially Buffalo and Lisa. From the moment I arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Buffalo’s extensive knowledge of the area and Lisa’s friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure that all campers had a fantastic experience. Their dedication to maintaining the campground and their commitment to visitor satisfaction are truly commendable. The F loop itself was serene and well-maintained, providing a peaceful retreat amidst nature. Whether it was hiking, enjoying the lake, or simply relaxing by the campfire, every moment was enriched by the tranquil surroundings and the wonderful company of other campers. If you’re looking for a campground that offers stunning scenery, excellent facilities, and outstanding staff, Zilpo Campground is the place to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Buffalo and Lisa, for making my stay so memorable!

Had a great time hiking! And the view was amazing! Definitely a place worth going to late summer and early fall or in the middle of spring!

Wilderness at your grasp. Camping at it's finest. Sites well distanced. Long journey's begin here. Beautiful lake. A touch of the aged encompass your eyes. Pass on the beach, go hiking instead.

The little cabin on F19 is so cute and cozy! Loved the stay.

This was a Perfect campground. The sites were clean and well maintained with pea gravel, a picnic table, and a fire pit. The bathrooms were kept clean and had showers. The ladies at the entrance were very nice and we even meet a couple of campers. The road leading up to the campground was Super curvy. The lake was clean and they had a nice little beach for swimming. We Will be back again.

Not sure how anyone has complained about this place. Park is absolutely beautiful. H loop doesn't have a bad spot. Tammy at the front gate was so friendly and helpful. Staff was nice to us. Facilities are older, but clean. A sewage pump did go down, but they were on it immediately. Sites are flat and have plenty of room.. We will definitely be back!
