We made our reservation through www.recreation.gov (military affiliation not required), and only a few sites were unreserved. Even on a weekday in April, it's a popular place! There are roughly 60 sites, all with electricity and water but not sewer hook-ups at the sites. (there is a separate shared dump station). Prices range from $28-$32 with the more expensive sites being those that are waterfront (if you're lucky enough to snag one!) A discount is available for National Park Service Interagency Senior Lifetime Pass-holders. What's to like? Well-maintained, clean campground. In fact, you're given a trash bag upon arrival to encourage you to keep your site clean. On-site fun, including swimming and boating on the lake, as well as a playground. Friendly and helpful staff. Kudos to the gentleman at the Attendant Booth. A bathhouse with showers and laundry facilities. Benches with a water view to enjoy the sunsets. Some pull-through campsites. Good security. The gate is locked each night from 10 pm-6 am (although we were informed how to enter/exit if we needed to). Reasonable price. Also, Nashville is within 30 minutes. And, what's not to like? We were informed that skunks frequent the area, so you need to store food in approved containers. (We didn't see or smell any). We experienced high winds during our visit, so boating and/or swimming were out of the question. Also, Wi-Fi is not provided at this campground.

    Review for knobs campground Laverne Tennessee…read more I drove up to Tennessee to work for a couple weeks. I made a weeklong reservation at Poole Knobs campground. They only had one site available for all week so I felt really lucky to get the last one. When I arrived I realized just how lucky I really was. I saw on the USACE website that they had a family of nesting Bald Eagles in the park. They said they had closed several sites to give the Eagles some space. Did you know that if you disturb a Bald or Golden Eagle in any way at all it's $100,000 fine and a year in prison and that's for your FIRST OFFENSE!! I don't even know anybody who can afford $100,000 fine. So I'm staying away from those birds. First day I was here it was OK; I got my tent set up by myself and got things straightened out. I started a little fire but went to bed early. I was pooped The next day (Saturday) I looked at the weather and saw there was a big storm coming in. Oh great. I go to co ER my tent and wouldn't you know it; I had forgotten the top of my tent. I don't know how I did that because I rolled it up last and I always try to roll the top in with the rest of the tent. I had my hammock tarp, poles and a lot of rope in the car so I decided to rig something up. Come out OK and later when the rain started I was pretty pleased to see I didn't have any kind of leaks or blowing or anything like that. I checked the weather this morning; we have thunderstorms both daytime and night time all the way through Thursday afternoon. Friday is supposed to be nice and sunny about 80°. Guess what I'm checking out on Friday. How about that? Anyway the campground is really nice. The sites are pretty private they're not all on top of each other. There are a lot of pull through sites with full hookups. They also have nice tent sites. There is plenty of shade too. Nice on these scorching hot Tennessee summers. This morning I got up at 5:15 AM as usual when every bird in the county started to sing. I don't know how they all know when to start but they do. It's 5:15 AM. I went ahead and got up. Might as well, I was awake by then. I walked over to the fence to look for the Eagles and tried to find their nest. They camp host had told me if I stand by the sign then I'd probably be able to see them. But wouldn't you know it, there are two signs. I tried one and looked and looked but didn't see anything. I went to the other. I looked and looked here too but didn't see anything. The trees are so full of leaves that you really can't see a nest, even though it as big as a bed. Luckily one of the Eagles spread his wings and flapped a couple of times so I saw where the nest is. I couldn't really see the Eagles or the nest but at least I know where it is. I'm going to add a couple photos the Rangers took and shared. Saturday night a big storm blew in and I'll tell you, it scared the pants off me. I have all these big trees over my tent and I was afraid a limb would come down and smash my head. So my chicken butt got in my truck and drove down to the boat ramp parking area. No trees around there to kill me. I sat there for a little while and watched the boats hurrying off the lake. The wind was fierce and the lake was very choppy. A really nice ski boats came up and had to wait for their turn for the ramp. Before long the big waves washed over the back of that nice boat and sunk it. Right there beside the ramp. I called the camp host and told her and she called the TWRA Rangers. Before long a big big boat with 1000 humongous lights all over it came across the lake up to the sunken boat. You never see lights like that on a personal craft. I would not have wanted to be out on that lake in any kind of boat. Two TWRA pick-up trucks also came into the parking lot and went down to help. The big boat maneuvered the sunken boat over to where the trailer was. They got it up on the trailer and then the TWRA pick-up towed their truck and trailer out of the water. I'm guessing being full of water made it too heavy to pull out with one truck. The TWRA truck pulled them out far enough to open the drain and they were finally able to drive away. I was really proud of those TWRA rangers for coming out in that storm to help those people. The wind was raging and it was pouring buckets and there was crazy lightning all around. They are heroes to me. Anyway back to Poole Knobs campground. I can't say enough good things about this place. They have beautiful sites, really nice bath houses with hot running showers and friendly hosts. A lot of the sites sit right on the lake. I hear it is a great place to fish from the bank. If you're looking to camp in this area (near Nashville) you can't really beat this one. But like most great places you'll need to get your reservations in as early as you can.

    There is a lot to like about this large park and it's one of my favorites. I'll break it down by…read morethe primary features. Trails: this is the primary reason I go to Crockett Park. I sometimes walk but mostly bike on the trails with a little one. They are relatively flat and because they are so long, they are rarely crowded. The trail users vary in age and there are plenty of blind curves, so it's not a place to go for fast biking. The scenery is varied and the majority of the trails are shaded. As a bonus, there are lots of places you can dip your feet in the Little Harpeth River. You can bike from Smith Park to the south to Tower Park north of Concord Road. The trails also connect to various neighborhoods, the Brentwood Library, and the Brentwood YMCA. Five stars. Playgrounds: there are several playground at Crockett Park/River Park. The main one near Woodland Middle School between baseball fields. It's large with a divided small kids and big kids section. Kids love it, and there are plenty of benches and tables for parents to sit or for a lunch break. Five stars. Frisbee golf course: 18 holes and, unlike many in the area, clear signage. Some holes are similar and a few are pretty short, but overall good course for a quick game. Four stars. Restrooms: these are all over the park. Some are closed part of the year, but for the most part they are open and reasonably clean for public restrooms. Four stars. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, bike ride or attend a sporting event. Amphitheatre: The Eddy Arnold Amphitheatre is great for summer concerts, of which there are many every year. Sports fields: I don't use them at this time, but they are very well maintained and there are a lot of football, soccer, and baseball fields. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, or bike ride. This is handy for days when the fields are crowded for soccer and/or football games, because you can avoid the traffic. Most lots are adjacent to a trail. Check it out for one or more of these features when you get a chance.
