Poole Knobs is a nice campground. Been there a long time, but probably one of the best in the local area. The only complaint I have is that they need to put more gravel on the sites and work on leveling many of them. When setting up, we spend more time trying to level our camper than anything else. I’m told the state only allocates so much money/gravel per year, but it’s not enough!

My time camping was very good. I had a nice view of the lake, and access to the lake wasn't hard to get to. There does need to be better access to the bathhouses for people like me with a slight handicap. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay.

Great site! Lake front, shade, plenty of room, great space away from camp neighbor's! Love that we can keep the boat at the camp site.

The entrance staff were polite, but that’s where the positives end. This campsite—like many others in the campground—was extremely uneven, covered in rocks, and offered no flat space suitable for even a small tent. The bathhouse had hot water, but one of the three shower stalls was clogged and flooded when I turned it on, forcing me to relocate mid-shower. Most concerning, large nuts frequently fell from the trees, one of which left a deep dent in my vehicle’s hood. Had it hit a person, it could have caused serious injury or worse. I do not recommend this campground.

This has to be the most "In the Woods" COE campground we've stayed at so far. It definitely has a state park feel. On this site we needed to drive back and forth a bit using our LevelMate Pro (Great tool, by the way!) to find a spot we could level from, and needed to come up about 4 inches. There is a fairly steep but easy path down to the water with a small rock shelf where you can put a chair or two if you want. The bathrooms are typical COE bathrooms and were kept very clean. They were, however, a good distance from this site. If you are camping with kids, be aware that there is no playground or established beach. Our grandkids did just fine swimming and kayaking off of our site. Overall an enjoyable experience.

The campground itself was nice. We booked last minute and got one of the less desirable sites - but there are lots of really nice ones backing up to the lake if you book in time.
Our main disappointment was the actually the campers. Lots and lots of foul language and "riff raff" into the late hours of the night. We had our family with us and this was a constant battle. At our actual campsite we dealt with neighbors who were screaming at each other, fighting, cursing and behaving questionably day and night. When we took our kids to the lake, there was a pontoon parade with EXPLICIT music SO LOUD we could hear literally every word. It was definitely NOT a family friendly environment and we probably will not go back. The campground itself was clean and nice, though. All the staff that we encountered were friendly.

It was quiet and peaceful! I went there with my pups and I love the shaded roads. It was safer for them to walk as the roads were not so hot. We will be back!
