Poole Knobs is a beautiful and clean campground with friendly hosts and great lake views, making it a favorite for many campers. While some sites are uneven and require leveling, the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Nashville add to its appeal. The campground offers a variety of amenities, though improvements to bathhouse access and site leveling are suggested by some visitors.

The water facet was very very hard to close to turn off. Site 56
Also when in our kayaks there was lots of wake from boats traveling through the area which is a no wake zone but the buoys were missing and no markings are up to alert boaters that they’re in a no wake area

This is our second year to camp at pool knobs with friends. The hosts at the campground are amazing. They are so kind and helpful. The grounds are kept very clean, and we look forward to camping again in the future.

The week of camping was nice, the site was clean with good view of the lake. Several other campers allowed their dogs to bark nonstop and never witnessed staff giving them warnings as they drove around on golf cart. Couple nights had squatters come in during the middle of the night and set up camp next to our site. Overall was a pleasant week.

The sites are very spacious and distanced from one another. We had a lakefront site so I was able to fish whenever I wanted, otherwise, you need to locate an unoccupied site.

The views of the lake are great. We also saw a bald eagle and its nest, a skunk, and a box turtle walk into our site. The restroom placements and paths to them are not ideal. They could use a couple cleared walking paths to the facilities. Prepare to drive, or take long walks, uphill, to the restrooms if you camp at the outer sites. I would also caution against camping there in general as there are many trees that have fallen and still continue to fall do to age and storms. The next day after a mildly windy night, we took a walk and found a tree fallen over in a recently occupied site. The previous residents were blessed to have left when they did. all in all, the campground needs some work.
