Always enjoy going to poole knobs campground. Love the sights overlooking the lake. Only recommendation would be to clear some of the underbrush away from the lakes edge. No trees , just brush. Some of the campsites where water used to be quite visible have gotten overgrown near lake. Always a great stay though.

I had to stay in a site that was on a down grade, causing me to have to leave the park and go buy lumber to level my camper. I had to raise the right rear 2' off the ground to level the camper. (It was site 28.)
I really like the park itself although better access to the bath houses would be great.
There are also a lot of weeds along the banks, so fishing is near impossible.
It would also help if there were more trash cans throughout the park.

Arrived on the Sunday before Labor Day. Pontoon boat at shore a couple sites down was blasting music. After they left things quieted down. We stayed 4 nights. I appreciated seeing the 'park attendant' vehicle making rounds. I would hope they increase their presence during the weekends.

Biggest thing remind campers that this is nature - and that dead tree limbs can fall on your vehicle causing much more damage than one could imagine.

I love COE campgrounds because they are almost always clean, well spaced and scenic. Poole Knobs is all of that, but the location of the bathroom and showers is ridiculous. If you are lucky enough to have a lakeside site (which most are), the closest bathrooms are to either walk up an arduous hill or drive. Plus it is a LONG walk from most campsites to the "trail" to the bathrooms. Whoever designed this campground had obviously near camped.

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!
