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

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Biggest thing remind campers that this is nature - and that dead tree limbs can fall on your vehicle causing much more damage than one could imagine.

I love COE campgrounds because they are almost always clean, well spaced and scenic. Poole Knobs is all of that, but the location of the bathroom and showers is ridiculous. If you are lucky enough to have a lakeside site (which most are), the closest bathrooms are to either walk up an arduous hill or drive. Plus it is a LONG walk from most campsites to the "trail" to the bathrooms. Whoever designed this campground had obviously near camped.
