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!

This is a lovely & peaceful park. Our site was immaculate, water pressure was great, bath houses were very nice. We will visit again & stay longer!

My RV was pelted with tree limbs 18 times as we left. Please have the branches cut back!

Poole Knobs is a blessing in the city! I never knew this place was available! So serene and so close to people.
We’ve been here twice. This visit was #2. This is definitely worth checking out!!

We tent camped one night while
passing thru Nashville on our recent vacation. Our campsite easily met our needs and we were able to get a good nights rest before continuing on our motorcycle trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting an ideal spot for our tent and motorcycle, the entire grounds were well kept with each site being marked clearly. Bathhouses could have been a little cleaner but worked well enough considering they are short staffed. We will visit again soon!
