Great site! Lake front, shade, plenty of room, great space away from camp neighbor's! Love that we can keep the boat at the camp site.

My time camping was very good. I had a nice view of the lake, and access to the lake wasn't hard to get to. There does need to be better access to the bathhouses for people like me with a slight handicap. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay.

Poole Knobs is a nice campground. Been there a long time, but probably one of the best in the local area. The only complaint I have is that they need to put more gravel on the sites and work on leveling many of them. When setting up, we spend more time trying to level our camper than anything else. I’m told the state only allocates so much money/gravel per year, but it’s not enough!

I love COE campgrounds because they are almost always clean, well spaced and scenic. Poole Knobs is all of that, but the location of the bathroom and showers is ridiculous. If you are lucky enough to have a lakeside site (which most are), the closest bathrooms are to either walk up an arduous hill or drive. Plus it is a LONG walk from most campsites to the "trail" to the bathrooms. Whoever designed this campground had obviously near camped.

Biggest thing remind campers that this is nature - and that dead tree limbs can fall on your vehicle causing much more damage than one could imagine.

Arrived on the Sunday before Labor Day. Pontoon boat at shore a couple sites down was blasting music. After they left things quieted down. We stayed 4 nights. I appreciated seeing the 'park attendant' vehicle making rounds. I would hope they increase their presence during the weekends.
