Beautifully spaced out sites. Bathroom is a bit inconveniently far but fine if you drive your car to it. The worst part was both nights we woke up in the middle of the night with strong skunk spray. No wifi, but with Verizon I did get a decent amount of signal. Beautiful place tho, just skunky smelly.

Nice campground with well spaced shady sites. Many sites are water front. Good base for exploring the Nashville area.

We absolutely loved this campground. It is very private and your not piled on top of each other.

Sites were good and our site was fairly level. Water pressure is strong and the electricity was stable. Will definitely be coming back again.

I've camp there many times over the years with friends. Now that I have my own camper, I can come more often. I would like to recommend how nice it would be if the Poole Knob campground would be open from April to October.

We only stayed for one night and arrived around 9:30 pm. The check-in station was closed until the morning, so we were able to just proceed to our site. This was nice because it was so hassle free, but also makes it so there isn’t any security at night. The showers were free and fairly clean with hot water, as well as the bathrooms. The road leading in to the campground is easy to navigate and not too far from gas stations and restaurants (about ten minutes). The individual sites are pretty close to each other, many with almost adjoining driveways. Many campers were there for longer periods, giving the campground a neighborhood feel. Cellphone service is strong enough to make calls and texts, but not enough to stream or download anything.
