    Great views from the bank

    Great little campground that is perfect for family trips. I have heard so many times "my family wouldn't go for camping because...". When I tell them about Twin Knobs nearly all agree it would fit their families perfectly. Great sites that are large and offer enough privacy, full showers and restroom facilities in every loop, a lake that is great for fishing/lounging/swimming/boating, hiking trails, & safe areas to take a family bike ride. This year we did notice an extreme amount of poison ivy on the trails and near camp sites so be careful if you are alergic.

    What a lovely place to camp! Only a 90 minute drive from Lexington you find forest, beaches, hiking trails, Cave Run Lake, and this lovely campground. We were in loop D and every campsite had raked gravel on which to pop your tents (nice flat surface). I was pleasantly surprised - never been to a campsite like that before. The bathrooms were all individual, family-style which was really nice. At peak times, you might have to wait to use the restroom but having a private room for your bathing/toilet needs is really nice. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and stocked with body wash. Our campsite was lake-adjacent, so we could hike down a small hill and be on the rocks at the lake - not the beach, but we made the best of it! If we had wanted to go to the beach it would have been a 4-5 min drive within the campground. I can't wait to get back out there - highly recommend this campground!

    Best option to a "real" beach. Calm, clean waters. Perfect for the kiddos. Perfect staycation.

    Welcome to Zilpo campgrounds it's the 2026 season and it closes around October…read more Now we are in the Daniel Boone national forest. It's a beautiful place. Lots of area to relax and enjoy nature. This campground and surrounding area are in the heart of no man's land . Cell phone use is spotty. In fact in some places no service for most of the time. We are unplugging. Make sure and bring a paper map. Have an image somewhere saved of the camp site. Save your directions to your photos too. For easy reference later. No cell service again. The beauty of this place is "off grid," for us. It's enjoyable and quiet. The individuals leave nature as they found her. Bring what you need and relax remember.

    Just returned back from a lovely one-night camping trip at Zilpo Campground on this unseasonably…read morechilly May weekend. There were other campers around us in the H loop, but a lot of empty sites as well. I'm sure as it warms up, it gets much busier. To reach Zilpo Campground, you drive pretty deep into the woods. It's a gorgeous, windy drive where you start to see Cave Run Lake through the trees. The campground itself is massive. There is a lot of signage to reach your camp site. H Loop was well-maintained. We had a site that easily fit two tents and our cars. There was a fire pit and a large picnic table. We had a trail down to the water. There were plenty of dumpsters around to dispose of trash. The bathhouse was clean - water was just pretty chilly! We hiked a trail closer to the D sites and checked out the beach area. On a warmer weekend, that beach area would've been calling our names.
