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.

Definitely not my favorite local campground but we had a nice time. I’m not sure we saw any sites that were level, and we watched a man completely tear up his nice RV getting stuck in one of many ditches next to the driveways. (It also took 2 hours to get a camp Host there and we were all stuck trying to get to our sites because we couldn’t get around him). The volunteer lady we finally found was precious and so helpful to finally go get them. Be ready to climb Mount Everest to get up the trail to the bathhouse from the lake loop, lol. No wifi…which we knew going in. I’d probably go again if got site 22 and as high as the boat ramp…probably not otherwise.

This is probably the worst corps of engineers campground in middle TN. They have not made any improvements since it was built. There is no courtesy dock, the boat ramp area is full of gravel and lumber. The planters are so rotten they are about to spill out at any moment. The sites are mostly buddy sites and totally un level. The bathrooms are terrible. The road coming into and inside the park has seen better days many years ago. I feel like they keep it open to make some money, but they certainly are not putting any effort into this campground. I’ll drive and hour and a half out of my way to stay at defeated creek or salt lick from now on. I even canceled the other two reservations I have at this park this year.

I love Poole Knobs. The sites are nice and wooded. The bath houses are always nice and clean. The water sites are the best but we were not on the water site. The non water sites are a little cheaper so if you have a friend with a water site its nice to book a cheaper site and use their access to the water.

Great location, no issues with the site. My biggest suggestion is having a restroom on the outer loop.

Too many trees over the camp site. Also wish they would add sewer to the sites. No swimming beach.
