Zilpo - Daniel Boone Nat. For.

Loves the mature growth trees in H loop, and throughout the whole campground. Our site and most others were well shaded. Clean bathouses. We enjoyed the beach very much, but bring water sock shoes as it's not sand, but more a lot of gravel. The camp hosts were all very pleasant as well. We will definitely be back to this campground.

The gate keeper and camp hosts are friendly. We stayed in a cabin and it had just what we needed. The bathrooms are clean. We boat all day then enjoy the quiet campground. This was our third visit and we will be back.

Wonderful. Thanks for keeping it well maintained and beautiful ❤️

This park has incredible potential as it is a beautiful and serene area with nicely spaced sites, but it needs some serious TLC. The shrubs and grass are not cut back away from sites. As a result you have ticks attached to you every day and mice running about. There are low hanging branches that clip every RV and TT driving through the park loops. The beach was closed before 8pm without notice. The camp host, April, has 3 small dogs that are left in a kennel outside her TT that bark all day and all night. Additionally, while sitting outside by the campfire, it sounded like the owners further abused the dogs based on the sound of loud, striking thumps and painful shrieks from the dogs. The park is managed by Thousand Trails and we will not be back until improvements are made. Thus we cannot recommend it unless you like to pay to enjoy a primitive camping experience.

Great campground with some space between sites and some are shady.
Need more electric sites added.

I love the Zilpo area, but it’s sad to see how much the government has let it run down. Be aware that not all bath houses have showers. I used the shower in my camper, but there were 3 families on 3 sites and everyone had to drive to find a shower on other loops. The sites are very short so check size if you have a large camper. The water spigots leaked making it hard to fill your tanks. We were over run with tiny ticks so prepare. All 3 of us got ants in our campers and the other 2 got mice in theirs. The bugs were also so bad that we couldn’t have lights on at all. The paths leading to the lake have grown up. I just wish they would upgrade the electric to 50 amps on sites and put in more electric sites. There was no cell service in most loops. The best thing about it was how nice and quiet it was. Most of the week we were the only 3 in our loop so the kids had a great time running around. The beach is mostly rocks. The dump station had great pressure. The hosts were friendly and helpful.
