Poole Knobs

The park needs a open community area for campers not on the lake to access the lake

Plot 69 is no good. It’s very narrow relative to the other plots and there is no good flat ground for the tent. The plots on either side are a better pick.

It’s convenient to be near the bathrooms but be aware that they get a lot of traffic at night. Loud trucks with high beams and small groups were coming by well past midnight. That’s understandable but if you have dogs with you then you’re in for a long night of “we’re under attack”!

Staff were very Friendly, Roads were in great shape and wide enough to navigate larger rigs. Most campsites were nice with fire ring, grills but no lantern pole. Our Campsite was however, on a 10 to 15 degree slope.
Everything slid of the table. The only area at our site that was somewhat level was where we parked. I would recommend reserving a lakeside site.

The Showers and bathrooms where clean.
But out of 2 showers, One of the Mens showers needs a shower valve replacement.

We camped in June and the biting insects were everywhere, bring repellent.

Park didn’t get quiet until around midnight.

We reserved two nights, only stayed one. I would stay here again but come prepared.

I come to Poole Knobs twice a year. I just love it here! Ive stayed on 32 34 60 41 42. I love the water front sites that allow me to dock my pontoon boat close to the camper. The people that run the camp ground have always been just great to me. Yes, you have to abide by the rules. If you are supposed to leave at 12? Well, thats the rules. lol See yall in September!!

Beautiful. The trees are lush and the mountains are breathtaking. You will not leave here disappointed. The campground is well kept.

The day we were checking out, Tuesday June 5th, my wife had gotten very sick, so I drove her home before returning to break camp. Upon returning to the campground, the man at the gate, who was probably in his 50’s or 60’s, was extremely rude and unfriendly. I then drove back to my site and began packing up to go home. This was at 11am an hour before checkout. The same man from the gate then drives over to my site in a golf cart and begins harassing me to hurry up because “he has to get his cleaners in here to clean my site”. I then confirmed with him that “checkout is at noon correct?” He grumbled a couple of more sentences of harassment at me before driving off in his cart. Plenty of other options. Will never be back here again.

Campground and site were clean and in good shape. The park is well maintained and the folks were friendly.

Very nice campground with large, spacious, private sites. LOTS of deep woods surrounding them all. Mix of "tent only" and RV sites. Outer loop didn't really have access to bathhouse (LONG walk up a VERY steep hill to access it). Bathhouse needed lots of TLC but usable. No real "trails" but campground was very spread out and made for a beautiful walk. Lots of shopping just off I-24 on the way to the park (4-5 miles). Best sites for lake access and sunsets were 56-61 and 38-48. Description said "sewer available" (FHU) but only had water/electric, dump station was VERY busy at checkout (Sunday morning).

We're grateful that sweet hosts Sharon and Craig were so kind and helpful to us!! Site is Rocky and overgrown with felled trees and tall brush that block lake views and water toy access, but the sweet #46 neighbors shared their lake access point with us! Great camp hosts and community feel with all fellow campers and dogs!

The location of spot 46 was an excellent view! The site was a bit un-level, but not too bad. This area of the campground is EXTREMELY quiet, like hearing a pin drop. We were nervous about our dog's barking being an issue and did not even feel like we could play music. Water access is good for wading, but really rocky and not suited for fishing really, we kept getting hung up on the rocks. The bathroom that was close to us is literally a HIKE up-hill so be prepared for that.
