The sites are spaced out and private. It's quieter than Twin Knobs, but more remote and harder to find. Would think twice about pulling a large trailer.

We enjoyed an overnight at Zilpo while traveling. Our spot was perfect! We had electric and water. We use our own facilities, no bathhouse experiences. We were the only occupied site in the C area. Big oversized site all to ourselves. Loved it!

The sites are roomy with plenty of vegetation between. Plenty of shade and level. Picnic table, firepit and lantern poles. Lovely setting. The gravel beach was well maintained. The store had basic supplies and snacks. All staff were very friendly. We reserved site H11 because the maps online, as well as the one handed out at check in, show that it’s electric. It’s not. Bathhouses could use some attention. No soap in dispenser, door latches that don’t latch, some shower stalls without warm water. But reasonably clean.
