We stayed for one evening and left the next morning. It was quiet, and clean. We didn’t use the restrooms so I can’t comment on their condition, but if they were like the camp area, I imagine they were well kept. Overall, a great stay.

We’ve been camping at Poole Knobs Campground for over 20 years. Most of the electric/water sites are good and fairly level. However some are not, such as 26, 28 and 34. Site 34 is the most UNLEVEL site in the entire campground!! I have reported it several times, but nothing ever gets done. It needs a lot of work and more gravel. This site is so unlevel that you are basically setting up on a “mound”. So when you park your camper and let the steps down, they will be 2 feet off the ground! You will need extra steps. You can see where people have taken bricks from the picnic table area to make extra steps. And you will also need the bricks or extra blocks for your camper legs. And finally, we had to park our camper so close to the trees that we could not let one of our slides all the way out. Our camper is 26 feet, but I would say do not choose site 34 unless you have a very small camper or pop-up. It’s such a shame because it’s a large water site with good boat parking.

Not the best spots for a tent camping you are laying on top of gravel and you stake your tent without having to go buy thicker stakes that you can hammer into the ground

Loved the campground and the way it is setup. Lot 59 is a waterfront site set back a bit with a path down to the water. Most sites are pull through, although if you have a large trailer it would be best to back into some of them.

This is a very pretty wooded area. It would have been more enjoyable if it hadn’t been 92 degrees with 80+ % humidity. The gate attendant told us to take one of unoccupied sites 3-6, since our reserved site 2 hadn’t been vacated by the previous camper. She couldn’t have been nicer.
