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.

Location is easy to get to, sites are well maintained. Only issue can be getting to a bathhouse on foot from the campground unless you’re up top in the primitive area

Good campground, in the wood, large spots for tents with all you need. Bathrooms were clean and well equipped if you want to take a shower.

This is an excelent site. we were near the water and it is really beautiful. The representatives were very nice. The RV sites were large and our entire experience at Poole Knobs was a treat. This is a very nice campground to visit.

Sadly, although this is a beautiful looking campground, our site 28 was a complete disaster. It is sloped sideways and hard to get into to begin with. A rainstorm created a flood through the camps directly underneath our trailer and everything was a muddy mess for us. Reported to camp host and Army Corp of Engineers but no response. This site should be closed off.
The rest of the sites we observed had concrete pads and looked to be in good shape.

I wish you had more than one dump station!

Beautiful site on the lake! We loved our stay and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the bathrooms/showers were dirty. We stayed 10 days and I don’t believe they were thoroughly cleaned once.
