Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (356 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Decent campground. Enjoyed the stay for a week, but power went out one night, and was still not on 18 hours later, so we left. Campground didnt refund any money for the trouble, day without electricity or early departure.”

Jason J 4 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“This place exceeded my expectations in both safety and cleanliness. Great place for families and a welcoming environment. I would definitely stay here again after my 8 day stay . I travel solo with my little dog and felt completely comfortable here.”

How far ahead to book Poole Knobs

For May weekends, book about 116 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 29 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (25,093 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
