We just got back from a weekend at Oasis Point RV Resort. Just a quick review for you guys. This is not a campground in the woods. It is on a strip mine so expect a lot of rock and no shade. They have full hookups, so no bath house. They have a large pond that has a nice beach, a huge slide and a zip line. They have kayaks, paddle boards and floats first come first serve. There was free WiFi access. Most of the Camp sites were full of construction workers. We basically had the pond to ourselves. It was great. The kids loved it. We felt like VIP’s with the way the owner took care of us. He was great and his staff was awesome. Will definitely return sometime in the future.

We went up in June 2024. There are several spots that are in the shade, but some of them are permanent campers. There is a fishing lake and a small river to fish in or wade and swim in. There is a miniature village for the kids along with 20 playgrounds in the campground. Golf carts are available to rent, and I feel are a necessity to get around this large park. There are also large fields to play in. Didn’t use the bath house. The general store has ice and a few souvenirs. There is cell service (AT&T and Verizon) There is also free wood. They have really cool spiral steps that lead up to a walk bridge. They also have a donkey and goats to pet. Altogether a really nice and clean park. Will definitely go again.

We arrived on a Tuesday and left on Friday. This campground has 10 sites on a hill. It is quiet and away from towns. Some sites are close but not bad. The shower/bath house is fairly new and clean. Being on the hill, to get to the lake is a steep walk. They have a set of steps going down the back side of the hill if you want to leave your boat in the water down there. It’s in a hollow off the main lake. The only drawback would be that the dump site was too tight and unlevel for me to feel comfortable trying to dump.

We stayed here in May 2023.  My family had two sites #3 & #5.  We had room to back my RV (37ft with 50 amp hookups) in with just enough room to park a medium SUV in front.  We ended up parking my boat and truck in the grass beside the campsite when we saw other people in the grass.  Campers were coming in and turning crossways of the the sites behind the site blacktop in the grass.  We didn't use the bathhouse. Water was available, but shared with another site. I used a 50 ft. hose with plenty of slack to reach.  Very walkable and bike friendly.  It has 2 playgrounds and plenty of grassy area for kids to play.  Some sites are shaded, while some of the inner circle ones were in the sun.  Only one dump station so we had to wait a while.  Coming into the campground, there is no signs that say campground.  It just looks like the turn in for the golf course and you may think you are lost until you get past the golf course entrance.  Some sites look very sloped so be prepared.  Both of my sites were pretty flat.  Will definitely return. No AT&T service at all and no WIFI.

Nice lakefront sites in this campground.  Access to the water is not so great.  You have to go down steep inclines between campgrounds.  I did find a picture of steps going down between two sites, but I must have missed it when we were there.  I stayed on site #6.  It had room to back my motorhome (37ft) into with barely enough room to park our truck sideways in front of the site.  We parked our boat trailer at the ramp and left our boat in the water below our site. We didn't use the bathhouse, but heard it was okay.  There should be a warning sign that when you get to the bottom of the hill coming in, there will be a sharp turn left into the campground.  If you miss it, you will be in the ramp parking.  It was very quiet during the week, but the weekend got pretty crowded and a little loud during the day.  It has a public picnic area and a beachy area that the locals use.  We swam there also.  It has a nice little playground.  Bike riding would be okay, but rather hilly.  The biggest drawback would be the dump station.  The switchback turn at the top of the hill to get to it was too daunting for me to try.  We started to try and backup the hill, but the shoulders were drop offs and narrow road.  I didn't chance it.  Brought it home to dump.

We camped there last week.  Spots F10, F12, & F13.  F10 said it was 50 amp on line, but it was 30 amp with a breaker that had two 20 amp 110 plugs.  It is a beautiful campground, but the government is letting it get rundown.  The bath house in our loop didn't have a shower.  A hassle trying to load up the kids to go find a shower for my friends.  I used my in camper shower.  The water faucets are getting so old and they leak so it's hard to get a hose on for water.  Around the campsites have grown up with brush and weeds worse than I have ever seen.  We were constantly  picking off tiny ticks, they were everywhere.  All three of us got ants in our campers and 2 of us got mice.  I know, all part of nature, but we don't experience that at Twin Knobs (across the lake).  The bugs were so bad that we couldn't turn any lights on at night.  The paths that lead down to the lake were overgrown.  We ended up just driving down to the beach or ramp.  There are a few projects that US Forestry could spend some money on that would make it a lot nicer over there.  Memories of how nice it was over there 20 years ago make it sad to see it now.  My campsite smelled so bad for the first 2 days that I went searching for the cause.  There was a dead (very rotten) snake that had been covered up with leaves at the edge of my campsite.  I got gloves on and cleaned it up in order to be able to be outside.  The one good thing is that the dump station had good pressure.  Remember the sites are very short, so know how long the site is if you are bringing anything over 30 feet.  No cell service, which could be nice, but we were unaware of a bad storm that hit us.  It is a very quite place though.

I love this place for many reasons.  The proximity to the river and kayaking is a big priority for me.  They have kayaks for rent at the campground or you can bring your own.  They shuttle you up to the dam and it takes a couple of hours to get back down to their campground.  Justin pulls your kayaks out and takes them up the hill for you, which is great for this old woman.  The grandkids love to play in the river, which is about 1 to 2 feet deep at this location.  Great for wading and catching minnows, crawdads, and such.  And yes we turn them loose.  Their bath/shower house is really clean and with heat/air.  They provide fire rings, tables, and wood.  There is water and electric at each site.  The hosts are definitely the greatest.

This campground is also close to Cave Run Lake for boating and fishing.

We camped here in June when the temps were in the 90's and the shade that the trees in this campground offer were a life saver.  The campground is always clean and the sites are level with gravel.  They have picnic tables and fire pits at each site and water is usually close.  Check maps because you may need to stop at the dump/water station on the way in for fill up.  We were on A32 this trip and really enjoyed the seclusion of the site. It is a double site.  We have my 37 foot TT and my sisters 24 foot TT with plenty of room for 4 vehicles on site.  I like this campground because unlike state parks, they don't allow hover boards, motor bikes, or golf carts to run around the grounds.  That sounds like an old woman response, but when you have about 20 (not exaggerating) hover boards and kids running around on golf carts constantly, it makes for an unpleasant trip.  So remember this place if you want peace and quiet.  Also, you have to book 6 months in advance to get a good spot.  Bath houses are clean also.  The only thing negative that I can say is that the trail down to the water was blocked with a fallen tree and a lot of poison ivy.

When you arrive the host (Justin), brings you wood and a picnic table. Helps if you need anything. The campground is always extremely clean as are the bathrooms. Water and electric on site with a wide spot. We were able to put up a 20 x 10 canopy outside of our camper canopy with plenty of extra room. Lots of space for the kids to run. We went kayaking (they have a kayaking service on site) and played in the river. Far enough away from the road that we didn’t hear any noise, just the river running. Campfire every night. Frog hunting (catch and release).
It was a great trip. Definitely be going back.

We just spent a relaxing long weekend at this campground. Sites are level with electric and water at each one. They provided a fire ring and a picnic table for us. The bathrooms are kept very clean and offers quality toilet paper and paper towels. My grandkids loved playing in the river catching crawdads and tadpoles. Perfect for wading. We brought our kayaks and were shuttled up river by the staff. The staff are the friendliest and helpful people that you could ever meet. The hammock area set up by the river makes me want to go back and stay. I love this place and will definitely go back.

The campground is brand new and it has new bath/shower houses.  It has 10 RV sites and riverside tent sites.  The sites are level and pull through with 50 amp service.  There is city water available and a dump station.  Very clean place and the staff are great to work with.  They have kayaking at the campground or shuttle service if you bring your own kayak.  The ride from the dam down to the campground is beautiful and serene.  It is great for beginning kayakers.  The tent sites along the river are so peaceful with the river running below you.  There is a lot to do in the area with Cave Run Lake for water adventures and Lockegee Rock and the Sheltowee Trail for hiking.  The Licking River has several fish species from the fun to catch bluegill to the Muskellunge.  This is a must see place that I will definitely return to.

We stayed June 5th through June 9th and it rained every day, a lot.  Our campsite (A-30) drained the rain off really well.  The staff are constantly working to keep everything clean and repaired.  We had two campers on the site lined up on one side.  One is a 22 ft. and the other a 37 ft.  We had plenty of room on the campsite.  We ended up putting up 4 popups because of the rain.  The site is level and graveled.  This is one of the most popular sites and we booked it 6 months in advance.  I wish they had more electric loops as more people are camping in a camper of some sort.  We had a lot of kids, so we ended up running out of water.  I had to carry water from about 500 or 600 ft away.  They also need more water hookups.  I know, I'm a glamper.  Still love this place and will continue to stay every chance I get.

I have been going to this campground my entire life. It has 10 sites that are spread out on kind of a peninsula sticking out in the lake. It is up on a hill,so the walk to lake is a hefty one from some of the sites. The sites are level and spacious, also they feel secluded. The ramp is a steep grade as are most of the ramps at this lake. The showers and bathrooms are clean and updated. There is a dump station on site. There is a playground and plenty of walking to do. The sites have electric and I think water on each site. The hosts were wonderful. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but worth it. We drove out and bought ice and vegetables on the honor system at a little stand. There are stores to restock supplies not too far away and it is about 20 minutes to Conley Bottom Marina which has a restaurant and general store. We love this place and will definitely go back.

The campground has some really nice sites. Most are pretty level, but bring some blocks just in case. Some of the campsites are shaded and some are directly in the sun (18, 19, 21, 22, & 23). There was one (20) that you parked on beside the road and had to go down stairs to get to your picnic table and fire pit. We stayed on 15 at the end of a loop, kind of secluded. I definitely liked the loop that had sites 1 thru 15. Ours was further from the shower house (which was clean and typical of a state park), but there was a flushing bathroom at the end of the loop for our use. Nice hiking trails and beautiful scenery. There was a boat in campground closer to the lake. The trails led down to the lake at spots. The boat ramp was just a short drive over the hill and easy access. Fishing was great. We caught catfish, bass, bluegill, and crappie. Hosts were wonderful. We camped in a tent, but will return in our camper next summer.

I have camped here in the spring and summer. This was my first trip in fall. The weather was wet and cold, but it couldn’t take away from the experience. The campsite that I was on was a double.(A30). It has electric, no water or sewage on the spot. We had 2 campers on the site with plenty of room. One is 37 ft and the other is 24 ft. There was plenty of downed trees to cut up. You should bring a bow saw. We also brought some wood. We were close to the water and trails. All of the teens that were with us had a ball(hiking, biking, basketball, and fishing). Sites are all clean and level and the bathrooms are clean.

We went to tour the campground with intentions of pulling our camper (for reference 36' trailer) up there to stay while my husband worked on a contract in a neighboring town. I had read every review that I could find so I kind of knew what to expect. There were very few sites that I could even fit on and even then I would have had to disconnect from the truck and pull in beside the camper. I wasn't sure if I could get the awning and slides out on some of the sites by the way they are set up. Most sites are shaded and a nice little playground for kids. I have an outside kitchen in the back of my camper and it would be hanging out over a hill on most sites. The state could spend a few dollars on this campground and build up the campsites to make them more usable. The campers that were there had to use a ton of blocks to level up so be prepared. Tent sites are all on a sloping hill, so it might get interesting when it rains, still close to the lake with a great view. Pretty enough, but I won't be camping there. It looked like too much work to set up for a few days. Didn't use the restrooms, therefore no judgement. Sorry, I sound like it's not good enough for me, but I just wasn't impressed. Another point is that you can't swim in the lake, why?

We actually camped at Boat Gunnel which is a part of Twin Knobs Campground. We love this campground because it is a private area with 4 RV hookups and approximately 10 tent sites. You rent the entire place for $125 or $130 a night. It is close to the water. We left our boats down on the bank. You have a "private" restroom and shower house. Occasionally you will get a hiker or someone coming through the trails that will use it. The only reason that it didn't score perfect is that the showers need some attention. There was mud along side the blacktop path that led down to the fire pit that was full of mosquito larvae and smelled. Easy fix, but had to keep the kids and dogs away from it constantly. My sister took a nasty fall on the trail down to the waters edge and that would be an easy fix to make that trail a little smoother. I know we are camping, but with the price, it is actually glamping. We like this place because it is easy for my aging parents to come down and visit. Great, large shelter also.

We have stayed at Twin Knobs for several years. It has wooded lots that give you a feeling of privacy. The only problem that we encountered last May was that someone's dog had pooped everywhere on the grass on the site that we were on. So you couldn't get off the gravel. The site was surrounded by poison ivy so we had to watch very closely. The site was pretty level, we took a few wooden blocks for leveling help. Our current camper is 36 ft with slides and awning and it fit on the sites very well. We have been there with a 45 ft Fifthwheel and still had room. The bath house was well maintained and clean. There are plenty of trails to walk and explore. Some of the trails meander along the lake and make for a great sunrise walk. The hosts stick to the rule that only allow so many at a campsite unlike state parks that get a bit crowded and loud. The campground was full when we were there, but it doesn't seem overcrowded or too busy. There is a company that sets up on weekends at the boat ramp that have kayaks to rent.

I love Zilpo because of the wooded lots. You don't feel like you are camping on your neighbors. The lots are spread out enough that you have some privacy. The only drawback would be the long drive getting there, but come on, you are camping! The drive in has beautiful views and is very peaceful. The campsites are pretty level and graveled. There is electric at some sites and you have to reserve early to get those. The bath house is kept clean and is in good shape. The whole campground is kept very clean and it was very quiet while we were there. There is a beach and lots of trails to explore. Some of the sites are very close to the lake and have wonderful views. The hosts stick to the rules about how many people you can have at a site so it doesn't get too crowded like at the state parks. Wish there was more electric sites.

We end up camping here at least once a year. It is just a short walk over the hill to the lake where we keep our boats tied up to the bank. It is located behind Scott Creek Marina. You will get the occasional hikers coming through the campground as there is a trail that runs through it. It is as private as you can get in the Daniel Boone. We usually have 3 campers with a tent or two. The only problem that we have is that I kept blowing the breaker on the box when I was hooked up alone. It says 70 Amps and I am 50 Amps. We ended up running our hot water heater off of propane to fix the problem. I do have two refrigerators and two AC units. The lot is blacktopped and level. There is a very large shelter with electric and a large fire pit with benches. There is about 10 tent sites. The trails are well maintained. The shower/bath house is clean and as updated as most. The water pressure isn't great and the showers need some repair work. I love this place because you can let the kids run around and play without worrying about traffic.
