New listing
Zilpo, a large, fun-filled campground on Cave Run Lake, is a prime destination for families. The scenic campground offers a cabin rental, tent camping, RV sites with electric hookups and a selection of lakefront sites. Views of the lake are enjoyed by those who relax on the sandy beach. Tater Knob, a fire tower open to the public, is nearby, offering outstanding views of the area. Water skiing and swimming are wonderful ways to enjoy the lake. Muskie, large and smallmouth bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish attract avid anglers. Hikers are fans of the Zilpo Mountain Loop Trail, which extends for 2.25 miles, connecting to a network of other trails around the lake. Nature programs are regularly scheduled during peak season and wildlife watching is rewarding. Electric hookups are provided at some campsites, and drinking water is located centrally within the loops. Flush toilets and showers are spread throughout the campground, each site has a picnic table and campfire ring, and there is a dump station and a concrete boat ramp. Roads are paved and level tent pads are gravel. A campground store with ice, firewood, camping gear and food is on-site. Each of the 12 cabins can accommodate up to six guests, with a table, two chairs and a sleeping area with two sets of bunk beds, plus a picnic table, lantern post and campfire ring outside. Pets may reside only in cabins 41, 120, 121 and 123. Cabins 109, 123 and 136 have ramps that can accommodate wheelchairs. Zilpo sits on a peninsula in the middle portion of Cave Run Lake at an elevation of 800 feet. The lake spans 8,270 acres with soft, sandy beaches. The campground is shaded by a stand of mixed hardwoods, and campsites have good privacy. The nearest community is 12 miles away.
