Poole Knobs

We arrived during a thunder storm; signage directing us to the campground entrance was small, faded and sparse. So be careful. The shower facilities were badly in need to maintenance. They were reasonably clean but drains didn’t work and water pooled above your ankles.
Views from the sites were lovely from sites on the lake, but sites required quite a bit of work to level, so come prepared.

LOVE camping here and PAM AND RICK are the best host great people they communicate with all the campers and greet everyone with a smile been camping here for 24 yrs now

I suggest not offering site 53 as a tent site. It's large but there were no truly level places on the site, and the ground is extremely hard packed and rocky. We've stayed at a hundred different parks in tent sites and this site was among the least enjoyable. If you cut in a level tent pad it would make all the difference. Bathroom facilities were very good.

The nice lady at the front gate was extremely helpful in securing a site for our night as the internet was down that made the reservations and she managed to get on the phone with recreation.gov and get a site for us.

Not a single flat place to pitch a tent and me without my shovel to dig one out. I had to sleep on a 8-12 degree incline which proved to be rather intermittent due to sliding around the tent. I finally stacked all my possessions on one side of the tent and used that as a wall to sleep against for a few hours. With a flat landing somewhere on the site to pitch a tent, the accommodations would be quite nice.

Campground sites were very good large and spacious. The campground staff was excellent. I had a couple of issues and talked with them and we got everything resolved very quickly and efficiently.

This is definitely one of the places that my wife and I will return to when we come into the Nashville area

Beautiful campsite and great campground hosts. Bathrooms are clean. Site 20 does not have the post in the location you think the site is located. Site numbers are confusing! Pull through but not level. Scenery and size of lot fantastic!!

As with any adventure, what you put in will dictate what you get out. Plan and prepare, taking in account for weather. Communication is a key ingredient from both the campers and the host.

This was our 1st experience with a COE campground and we’re we delighted! The drive into here was easy . We interacted with delightful hosts. Parking was easy to enter.
We are a retired couple pulling a 5th wheel . We also have the lifetime national park pass .

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.
