Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Lake Cisco Campground offers a unique experience with its historical charm and secluded setting. Most visitors appreciate the peaceful environment and enjoy exploring the nearby abandoned zoo and hiking trails. However, some reviewers noted the campsite could use some maintenance and felt it was overpriced given the lack of amenities. It's a spot that appeals to those interested in history and a rustic camping experience, but might not be ideal for everyone, especially if you're traveling with larger RVs or pets.

Not really on the lake can’t even see the lake. For sure not suggested if have pets, stickers are terrible. For our first time it was ok to be out where we could figure out all the hookups with no one watching but will not stay there again very secluded

Very unique spot. We had a wonderful time exploring and learning the local history provided by Johnnie. We had the place to ourselves and view of the stars was spectacular. It is primitive, but the directions and information provided was very detailed and helpful. The glimpse into the past and staying right in the middle of it was fun. The wooden block table was helpful for using a camp stove and identifying the tent sites.

Thank you for the kind review Lara. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Johnnie

Stumbled upon this magical place. So pleased we stayed an extra night. We as in my pets and I. Pet friendly! Caretaker of property is available for anything but keeps to himself. His awesome dog Thor feels like a safe watchdog. There is community property near so you may encounter that. The history, structures and ability to explore them are really something to experience. The property is covered with old oak trees that are unique on a whole other level. Johnnie is generous , communicative and happy to share the history of Cisco.

Thank you for the kind review Kerri. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay. Wish you could have seen it like Phillip and I did growing up there. Johnnie
