We were passing through this area and needed a place to camp overnight. The campground was quiet and our site was clean. Each site has a very nice picnic and fire pit area. We did enjoy chatting with the campground host who was friendly and courteous.

This is our fourth year to come with a group to Poole knobs for a long weekend. The campground is always neat and well kept. The hosts are always very kind. There is a Walmart close by to pick up any supplies. You may have forgotten. Plenty of parks and restaurants within a 20 minute drive.

Nice quiet location

Was our favorite campground for the past 15 years but we are going to seek another.

Weve camped at Poole Knobs for years. Finally got site #32. It has a paved pad, and really hard to get on the weekends. Love the shade and paved areas, but when it rains, the water runs down onto the site, bringing mud all over the pad. So if you are using a rug or have things sitting on the pad, it will all be covered in mud! Other than that issue, its a great water site!

We have stayed here multiple times in the past and love the campground, its a beautiful area.

Great for being on the lake!
@DanielP5943638 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #42
Nice park, but the bath houses need some refreshing! Very pretty place and nice sites!
@JohnR2194126 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #48
Very nice campsites, kind of hard to get to the bath house from some of the loops. The bath houses were well maintained and clean. The overall experience was great.
@NicholasO6C91C · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #11
Great campsite and staff!!
@CindyC3653513 · Camped on May 6, 2025 at Campsite #45
Very nice campground, our space was pull through and had enough room for RV, truck and boat! Park was well shaded with trees and had a good boat ramp and parking area. Cellular service was good (AT&T).
@WayneG659C3975 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #1
Loved the park area. Plenty of green spaces between campsites. Will definitely be going back
@EllenD8335499 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #50
Staff were incredibly helpful. Sites were spotless and had great water views. We were very happy here.
@CharlesP476782 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #20
We read many reviews that said the sites were very unlevel. We said, "how bad could it be?" Well, our original site was a very long site, but it was all downhill. There was less than 10 feet of flat at the bottom of the site by the concrete picnic table and fire ring. Please read all reviews for the site you are selecting. Also, do not trust the pictures, they do not show the actual slope of some of these sites.The area is beautiful and quiet. It's a great place to walk!
@StevenA2029523 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #43
Great campground on the lake! Large sites. No sewer, but a dump station. 30 minutes to Nashville.
@GlennF2715441 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #41
Stayed on site 41 with our 41 5th wheel. Pull through Site was extremely large however quite a dip coming in off the road. Swing it wide to miss ditch on drivers side. Some other sites would have been tougher to get into.
@TerresaJ0DBBF4 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #25
Great campsite.
@Christina41928 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #60
Folks aren't kidding in the other reviews... the low hanging trees on the way in and some inside the campground are SUPER LOW. Beware if you're a taller rig. We definitely hit branches going in and out. We stayed in site 60 for almost a week and loved it as far as it being peaceful and the view and all that, but it was NOT level and was a pain to get into. Almost every single site in the park involves a steep up or downhill to get into. The tail of our RV hit when leaving our first spot (43). We checked in one day early and online said our site (60) was reserved -- turns out nobody was staying there so that was a little frustrating... I do NOT recommend checking in at night at all. Seriously, it's DARK and the road is very skinny and the sites are not easy to see to get into. Get there during daylight. Checking in was super easy. We got there after hours so the sign on the office said to go to our site and come check in in the morning. No issues there at all. The folks working the office were very friendly. I called ahead to make sure they had no gate because I had to be out early for work, but when we went out one night, we got back a little after 10 and the gate was closed and appeared locked. Thankfully, it was NOT locked and we just pulled the pin out and drove in and put the pin back. The mosquitos were horrible (I mean HORRIBLE) but it was a nice place with friendly people and it was close to food and shops (walmart was about 5 min away). The road leading in wasn't a great size for vehicles to pass (it was a bit too skinny) but it was doable. We are just glad nobody else was coming when we left because we had to drive on the opposite side multiple times to avoid extremely low branches hanging from the trees. All that to say.. we will be back :) can't beat the location as far as being less than an hour out of Nashville.

very nice place to camp one bathroom had a lot of bugs and cobwebs
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #24
Nice quiet campground. Good view of the water from many sites. Easy access to the dump station on departure. Reminder: no sewer hookups.
@STANMA7C443F85 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #1
Perfect thank you so much
@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #56
helpfull staff, very clean grounds.
@DaleW6067273 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #2
Call ahead to confirm directions as the GPS may send you onto old Jones Road. Looked like all sites had partial to full shade. The bathrooms between 20 & 21 were clean, but are up an extremely steep incline with loose rocks, so be very careful.
@SamuelVB8050F4 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #48
The smiley blond lady is very fake and rude in a subtle way, be ready. She made me feel unwelcome from the start, but at the end just now she came to my site and talked to me like a child as she asked me 6 times in different ways if I was leaving. She clearly offended me around the 4th question but she was ready for that and kept going while laughing at me. Some people never grow up.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
