Poole Knobs

Great campground and sites!

Too late of check in. They say it’s the “rangers decision “ due to cleanup time. I’ve never seen a worker do any cleaning.

We love Poole Knobs. It’s an old campground right on the lake, and most of the water sites are very nice! If you have a boat, some of the water sites are not great for boats, due to large rocks in the water, ex: 64 and 46. Otherwise, those are great sites. Several sites need new gravel, and I report it every year, however I’m told that the state only provides a small amount each year and it’s not enough to accommodate. And some of the paved sites (such as 30, 32) are great, but when it rains, mud comes pouring across them. We still love the campground, but it would be great if more could be done.

This is a beautiful campground. Very spacious and wooded. Sites on the water. Would definitely campground here again.

excellent camp site. close to bathroom facility. Have stayed here in the past and will stay again.

Great place to camp!! Very nice people that run it!!

The 2 older ladies are very hateful, we had paddle boards and kaykas by the boat ramp and the ladies came there are started yelling g at us saying we could not be in the water with our boards. It was in the rules. They left after 10 minutes and 10 minutes later the Sheriff showed up. Come to find out the Sheriff Department does not like the 2 ladies either. The Sheriff Department has had numerous calls about the ladies. Please take of the 2 ladies.

Our campsite was extremely unlevel—dropping nearly 6 inches across our camper's 8-foot width. We had to use all four sets of our leveling blocks and even build up the steps just to stabilize them. While the camp hosts do a great job with their standard maintenance, the overgrown vegetation around many of the RV sites desperately needs trimming to make navigating in and out easier. We also traveled with our dog, but several aggressive dogs on loose or questionable leashes made us feel unsafe walking ours around the grounds. Overall, this was a disappointing stay, especially compared to how well-kept other Corps campgrounds in the Nashville District are. Unless improvements are made, we won't be back.

We arrived a little late and when we got to our site someone was in it. The guy showed me his reservation as well as us showing him ours. They double booked the site. So for the night we parked in the spot across from our original site. Next day comes and the park attendants approached us stating that we had to move because somebody had booked that site and then proceeded to tell my husband that it was impossible that our site was double booked. So pretty much calling us liars. So the people who had booked the site we were and actually were very nice and looked for another site to move into and was gonna let us have that site. So we were told we are good to stay as soon as my husband went up to the park attendant office, the site was booked. So we then had to move to an emergency site. So we stayed at the emergency site for approximately two days until we got moved to a different site. So we moved three different times in four days and it was quite frustrating. Not to mention the park attendance both of them mostly the ladies were not very friendly not very welcoming works kind of rude and had profusely apologize to everybody in the situation, but us. We felt kind of judged. Not very friendly at all at least not to us. The positive I can say about the attendance is they did approve my refund request for the first four days that we were there considering we could not enjoy our time because we weren’t able to make our camp our home we had to keep pick up and moving for the first five days of our stay. The part that really bothered me about this whole entire stay was when the blonde park attendant approached us and kind of demanded that we rebook our stay at her request. Because she needed to know. We planned on booking our stay when we had gotten paid so we planned on doing it, but it wasn’t on her timing. She approached our campsite. Kind of rude. Didn’t even say good morning. It was kind of a blunt and rude experience with her.

A great quiet park. Our stay was only for one day, but we would consider a longer stay in the future.
