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.

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.
