The camp ground was clean and the lake was gorgeous. The trails are well marked. The bathroom was clean.
The only sad part was we were told that the nearest place to buy firewood was at Diamond lake, however on a walk we found that the general store at the KOA resort around the lake sells firewood.

Poole Creek has been one of my favorite campgrounds for 20 years. The only reason I didn’t give it an excellent rating is because they put in a reservation system about 5 years ago.

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.
