We had a good campsite during our stay. The personnel managing Poole Knobs were courteous and helpful.

Definitely not my favorite local campground but we had a nice time. I’m not sure we saw any sites that were level, and we watched a man completely tear up his nice RV getting stuck in one of many ditches next to the driveways. (It also took 2 hours to get a camp Host there and we were all stuck trying to get to our sites because we couldn’t get around him). The volunteer lady we finally found was precious and so helpful to finally go get them. Be ready to climb Mount Everest to get up the trail to the bathhouse from the lake loop, lol. No wifi…which we knew going in. I’d probably go again if got site 22 and as high as the boat ramp…probably not otherwise.

Site was roomy but not much of anything to do here unless you have a boat to take out on the lake. Most sites are not level what so ever. The bathrooms are very outdated as well. Staff was rushing us out on check out day. My father in law was having problems getting the pop up camper put back up at his site next to us and staff did not seem to care. We were told to hurry up multiple times by a staff member on a golf cart because someone else was checking into his site early. I tried explaining he has had heart surgery and was moving as fast as he could. I was helping him out as well. Instead of being concerned for him or even helping, staff merely stated that he should have packed up earlier and been out right at check out time. I understand that he should have been out at check out time but things do happen in life. Not impressed with staff at all. We will more than likely not be back.

Friendly people and well kept camping area. Bathrooms are far from sites and require travel by car by most but are very well maintained and up dated compared to bathrooms in NY state! Nashville area has many things to do as well at Gatlinburg if you're up for the drive.
