Poole Knobs

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.

I had to stay in a site that was on a down grade, causing me to have to leave the park and go buy lumber to level my camper. I had to raise the right rear 2' off the ground to level the camper. (It was site 28.)
I really like the park itself although better access to the bath houses would be great.
There are also a lot of weeds along the banks, so fishing is near impossible.
It would also help if there were more trash cans throughout the park.

Always enjoy going to poole knobs campground. Love the sights overlooking the lake. Only recommendation would be to clear some of the underbrush away from the lakes edge. No trees , just brush. Some of the campsites where water used to be quite visible have gotten overgrown near lake. Always a great stay though.

This was our 1st experience with a COE campground and we’re we delighted! The drive into here was easy . We interacted with delightful hosts. Parking was easy to enter.
We are a retired couple pulling a 5th wheel . We also have the lifetime national park pass .

As with any adventure, what you put in will dictate what you get out. Plan and prepare, taking in account for weather. Communication is a key ingredient from both the campers and the host.

Beautiful campsite and great campground hosts. Bathrooms are clean. Site 20 does not have the post in the location you think the site is located. Site numbers are confusing! Pull through but not level. Scenery and size of lot fantastic!!

Campground sites were very good large and spacious. The campground staff was excellent. I had a couple of issues and talked with them and we got everything resolved very quickly and efficiently.

This is definitely one of the places that my wife and I will return to when we come into the Nashville area

Not a single flat place to pitch a tent and me without my shovel to dig one out. I had to sleep on a 8-12 degree incline which proved to be rather intermittent due to sliding around the tent. I finally stacked all my possessions on one side of the tent and used that as a wall to sleep against for a few hours. With a flat landing somewhere on the site to pitch a tent, the accommodations would be quite nice.

The nice lady at the front gate was extremely helpful in securing a site for our night as the internet was down that made the reservations and she managed to get on the phone with recreation.gov and get a site for us.

I suggest not offering site 53 as a tent site. It's large but there were no truly level places on the site, and the ground is extremely hard packed and rocky. We've stayed at a hundred different parks in tent sites and this site was among the least enjoyable. If you cut in a level tent pad it would make all the difference. Bathroom facilities were very good.
