It was difficult to tell what they were calling a single site and what was a double or multiple site. Although we paid for a double site for 2 nites that we stayed there you would have never been able to get another RV in our site. I believe we overpaid and it should have been for a single. Also, we have an old age pass for the National Parks and it would not let us use it for the "double" sites so instead of $10 we ended up paying $20 per nite for the 2 nites we could not reserve for. The Recreation.gov site did not allow us to start our reservation until 6/5 saying that was the first date the site would accept reservations for this park but when we got there, there were many sites that had reservations for 6/3. All in all it was not the best of experiences and it would be nice to be able to get a refund for the 2 nites we paid for a "double" site when it was obviously a "single" site.

We were in site 21 which was quiet, private and near the boat ramp which was great because we brought our boat. The only negative is the site pad is not flat. We used blocks but didn't have enough to get our camper very level. This was our first time at Poole Creek and we will be back. We liked this campground and loved the lake. We especially liked that the lake level was not low like many of the lakes this time of year.

We have been coming here for 35+ years, love the area. Too bad so many people now feel the need for generators it takes away from the peaceful setting.

The facilities were decent. The outhouse could have used some lime. Due to the high temperatures it was pretty rank. A couple of nearby campers had yappy dogs that barked incessantly, which was annoying. And the brazen chipmunks kept coming up on the table while we were eating trying to steal food. PEOPLE STOP FEEDING THEM BECAUSE THEY"RE CUTE!

This campground was PACKED. Noisy, crowded and no privacy. The camp host was super nosy (old lady, short hair, golf cart, actually stopped to inquire why I was sitting in my car?!) The lake was pretty but the sound of generators and people noise killed the mood. It IS close to Watson and Toketee Falls--worth checking out!

Loved the camp site with it's close proximity to the lake. My only complaint is with people reserving all the sites and not showing up. Don't reserve a campground if you're not sure you're going to use it. There are lots of people wanting to camp, but are discouraged that nothing is available.
