Poole Knobs

The 2 older ladies are very hateful, we had paddle boards and kaykas by the boat ramp and the ladies came there are started yelling g at us saying we could not be in the water with our boards. It was in the rules. They left after 10 minutes and 10 minutes later the Sheriff showed up. Come to find out the Sheriff Department does not like the 2 ladies either. The Sheriff Department has had numerous calls about the ladies. Please take of the 2 ladies.

Great place to camp!! Very nice people that run it!!

excellent camp site. close to bathroom facility. Have stayed here in the past and will stay again.

We love Poole Knobs. It’s an old campground right on the lake, and most of the water sites are very nice! If you have a boat, some of the water sites are not great for boats, due to large rocks in the water, ex: 64 and 46. Otherwise, those are great sites. Several sites need new gravel, and I report it every year, however I’m told that the state only provides a small amount each year and it’s not enough to accommodate. And some of the paved sites (such as 30, 32) are great, but when it rains, mud comes pouring across them. We still love the campground, but it would be great if more could be done.

This is a beautiful campground. Very spacious and wooded. Sites on the water. Would definitely campground here again.

Too late of check in. They say it’s the “rangers decision “ due to cleanup time. I’ve never seen a worker do any cleaning.

Great campground and sites!

The campsites are very nice and spacious. I wish they would clean up the edges of the water some so you could at least fish from the banks of the campsites.

Simply comparing to other COE campgrounds, Poole Knobs did not feel camper-ready. Our campsite, and many others, was not level. We did our best with multiple tries and use of leveling blocks, but still did not have a comfortable experience for the week. Anything is doable for a night or two, but we will not consider a week's stay at this particular campground again. The grass areas were not managed. We inquired about the upkeep and were told that it was contracted, but there were no set dates when it was done. Interesting that maintenance arrived to cut the grass the day before we left. There are always other places to consider when camping, so more effort should be made to have safe and welcoming campsites in hopes of return visits.

This was our first time at Poole Knobs and we went for the weekend before heading back home. While it was a bit difficult to book the reservation, I think it was the website, BUT once we got there it was such a relaxing time. We had a campsite by the water, so beautiful and clean! Neighbors near by were so friendly, we made friends! Safe to say it was a wonderful experience, cannot wait to go back!
