Love coming to Poole Knobs. The best and cleanest campgrounds around. We got rained out but the first 2 days we were there were amazing.

I love this quiet, well-maintained campground on the southern shore of J Percy Priest Lake. This site is near shallower water, which cuts down on boat and jet ski traffic. I like to go mid-week when it is less busy. Clean restrooms and showers.

Been going there since I was 22 years old. Now that I'm almost 67 it is to me the best camping site in the world. I TRY TO GO 4 TO 8 TIMES A YEAR. It is so beautiful and peaceful you feel a part of nature yourself. Great fishing and friendly attendances and of course conveniences need by, but also privacies.
