Great campground with the exception of the location of the bathhouse. If you are camping on the water on the lower loop and need bathrooms, it is a hike up a hill.

We really enjoyed staying at Poole Knobs campground. The next time we will try to make reservations earlier so we can get one if the campsites with direct lake access, but the site we had was great with a view of the lake. We definitely plan to come back!
