We did think that it was beautiful. Very woodsy and green lots of foliage and shade. Our campsite was decent enough for a tent. We were in campsite 26. The only bad thing that happened is that the day we left we started breaking out in what we now know is poison ivy. we had no idea there was any in the area. So it would’ve been nice if they mentioned it on the website somewhere or when we checked in that there is poison ivy around.

This site #28 is a nice always in the shade spot. A few things you need to know. The landing is sloped downward, not hard to get RV level, just need leveling blocks. I suggest you have a 4x4 truck or at least a locking rear differential to get up the hill if it rains. I would not reserve this spot if you are new to RV ing, other wise camp host and workers are nice and friendly.

Nice, relaxing campground! We love the lake sites! Wish there were paths up to the bath houses! TWRA could have the lake out in front of the Poole Knobs boat landing better marked for the rock that makes the water so shallow & for the cove there being a ‘no wake’ area!!!!

What a great park south of Nashville. We had a premium site with a concrete pad that was level. Our view of the lake was amazing. We absolutely loved the park hosts. A couple originally from Alaska was more than helpful. We enjoyed how much information they had about the park and the surrounding area. We would love to go back someday to explore and enjoy more of the park.

This is a lovely wooded campground with spacious sites. The one note is that bathrooms are a 5-10 minute uphill walk from sites along the lake. Will definitely stay here again.

We typically love Poole Knobs!! Close to home and so beautiful! We’ve camped her many times before and never had a single issue or problem. Until the day before we were to pull up camp. The host came to skidding stop at our campsite, #66. He was very rude and full of attitude as he told us we needed to do something about our dog. Said he (it’s a girl) did nothing but bark all night long, like she was doing right then. I said dogs bark. They bark at birds, animals and when they here cars or people go by. He said it didn’t matter and we needed to get control of her or they’d have to ask us to leave.
The more we thought about it the more it didn’t make sense. The night, and day, before it stormed. We were at work and she was in her kennel. No doubt she barked, dogs do that and she is no exception. I question the “whole night”. I got back about 9:30-9:45pm and it was quiet. Even while I got out of the car, she was quiet. Didn’t even bark when I opened the tent. Nothing. So, no, she did not bark the whole night. How was he to have heard her? His RV is at the main entrance, a good 500ft from our campsite. When he returned to inform us that he cancelled that nights stay (at my husband’s request) he had the same attitude, rudeness and hostility informing us that we would not get a refund. Also, it occurred to us, we’ve been there 12 days and there had not been any complaints. Not a single complaint from anyone. Why now? Why so hostile? His attitude was completely unnecessary and unjustified.
Definitely taking this campsite of our list. It’s unfortunate because it is, was, one of our favorites.

Great view, easy to get into site with 32' 5th wheel. Cell coverage T mobile and ATT were both 4 bars. Site is slightly off level so bring blocks.
