Had site 46 and it’s on the water which is nice. The site is definitely not level and in all the years we’ve camped this has been the worst one. Liked the campground overall and would go back but pick a different site. The camp hosts couldn’t have been nicer people!

Very Quiet campground. Our site by the water was well shaded with the trees.

Not a very good overnight spot. better long-term week. Everything shows its age and lack of maintenance. This park ,60 years old. Stuff wears out. The trees are beautiful. I did see a lightning bug I'm 75 years old LBN I did not use the shower. campsite was level mostly

Of course the sites on the water looked fantastic, but we booked late and took what we could which was site #6. It was still very nice and very woodsy. We have T-Mobile Home Internet and right on the water the 5g signal was strong. But even back in the park, we had decent speeds. It’s very hilly and most of the siges are not flat, so prepare for that. Water and power were great ax were the staff. We didn’t encounter bugs, gnats, or mosquitoes… only fireflies! Walmart is close by with the cheapest gas. We enjoyed our stay.

You are close to Nashville and Smyrna. If you want lake access get site on lake. Inside sites have to go thru those sites. Bathroom is on top of hill. Only two ways up for outer sites. Both Dirt and steep.

We stayed for one evening and left the next morning. It was quiet, and clean. We didn’t use the restrooms so I can’t comment on their condition, but if they were like the camp area, I imagine they were well kept. Overall, a great stay.

Not the best spots for a tent camping you are laying on top of gravel and you stake your tent without having to go buy thicker stakes that you can hammer into the ground

We’ve been camping at Poole Knobs Campground for over 20 years. Most of the electric/water sites are good and fairly level. However some are not, such as 26, 28 and 34. Site 34 is the most UNLEVEL site in the entire campground!! I have reported it several times, but nothing ever gets done. It needs a lot of work and more gravel. This site is so unlevel that you are basically setting up on a “mound”. So when you park your camper and let the steps down, they will be 2 ft off the ground! You will need extra steps. You can see where people have taken bricks from the picnic table area to make extra steps. And you will also need the bricks or extra blocks for your camper legs. And finally, we had to park our camper so close to the trees that we could not let one of our slides all the way out. Our camper is 26 ft, but I would say do not choose site 34 unless you have a very small camper or pop-up. It’s such a shame because it’s a large water site with good boat parking.
