I’m handicap and have trouble walking so I purchased a golf cart in order to get around. When I arrived at Poole Knobs the camp host told me golf carts are not allowed here. I have been taking my golf cart to every COE and State campground since my stroke and three back sure. When they finally let me in with my golf cart I was told I couldn’t ride the cart anywhere except to the bathhouse and back. One of the host was very rude and kept reminding me I could ride to bathhouse and back. I will not be back to Poole Knobs campground again.

While we enjoyed the beautiful lakeside view, the site (#34) was VERY difficult to back into, and was pitched towards the lake. We couldn’t get our RV level. Other than that, the site was large and clean, and the hosts were great.

The campground and surroundings were beautiful. Pam and Rick the host were so lovely and helpful!!
I will say I couldn't get level on site 26. (I'm in search of proper levelers for my 19' Dodge Roadtrek. )
Regardless i survived and thoroughly enjoyed the view!
The bathrooms were nice and clean as well! Many thanks!

Great shaded lots and plenty of room between sites. Clean restrooms. One of our favorite places close to Nashville.

the problem with campsite 59 was the hazard walking area to get to the lake. I am 86 yrs old and I needed a lot of hazard exposure to go down to the waters edge.

Great park, well maintained. Some of the sites are not level.

Very good experience. I arrived late, went to my site, and settled up with the office the next morning. Very casual. Lovely setting right on the water. My neighbors were chatty into the wee morning hours, but I was able to sleep fine. I will definitely consider staying here again.

We were at site 39 and it was beautiful and quiet. Expect some wildlife- we met a very friendly cat, a skunk, and 2 armadillos!
