What Guests Are Saying
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.

We were so excited to camp here. The pics looked beautiful and it’s close to home. We pull up to our site and there wasn’t even room to put our tent. It was all on a slope so none of the land wAs even. And it was barely a site to begin with. Called to ask if we could switch and the man was a smart butt and told me “well it’s a primitive site”
No duh but you still need level land to put a tent. Skunks are incredibly awful there. We only stayed one night and left even tho we payed for two. Just an awful campground unless you want to get right by the water in a camper. Still there’s nothing to do around the area. Usually don’t leave bad reviews but this one was awful

My camp stay was very nice. I had a pull through site that was easy to get in and set up.

It was very pretty I kayaked on the lake for 3 hours and got wonderful pictures including a green heron.
Campsites were nice and showers clean.
But they should warn you about the falling seed pods. Big and heavy. I heard them hitting things but wasn't sure what they were. I ended up with two dents on the hood of my car.

Great hosts. Very nice campsites some better than others. Lots of group sites with water and electric. Tough approach though. Have to enter a residential area with narrow streets. Lots of low hanging trees on the Corp of engineers side of the road shortly after turning down Fergus road. When dry they are not bad...when wet they grab everything. Further on lots of low hangers on both sides.

Very well kept! Every day as someone leaves they come and clean the site. Bathrooms weren’t the greatest but doable.

We only stayed 1 night, passing through. Park is clean, wooded, staff are friendly. Large spots. We plan on coming back and staying longer.

Beautifully spaced out sites. Bathroom is a bit inconveniently far but fine if you drive your car to it. The worst part was both nights we woke up in the middle of the night with strong skunk spray. No wifi, but with Verizon I did get a decent amount of signal. Beautiful place tho, just skunky smelly.
