Poole Knobs Recreation Area, LaVergne, TN; May 209, 2016



The park setting was beautiful - rugged, wooded sites, some of which were on the water. You'd never know that it is only 40 minutes from Nashville. The big drawback was the “buddy” sites. These are two sites on one pull-through. Some are situated such that it would be nearly impossible to back out without tearing up a rig if the front site is occupied. Of course, the other drawback is the very close location of the two sites, but presumably, they are for families and friends who camp together. There are, however, some beautiful sites that aren't buddies. The restrooms were pretty sad – old, dark, and creepy. We ended up driving to one since the one within walking distance was up a steep, gravelly path and the restrooms were even worse than the ones we drove to! The park info on the web and on their map all said there was a laundry in the park, but there wasn't.

We had planned on doing a day trip to Nashville but I was feeling under the weather, so we didn't do any hiking and I didn't even take any photos of the campground!


On to Big Bone Lick State Park,
