Poole Knobs Campground
This campground is set less than 15 miles northwest of Murfreesboro on the shores of the J. Percy Priest Reservoir. The campground has a lane of camping sites that have no hook-ups, but are for both RVs and tent campers, as well as a small area reserved for tents alone. The campground is serviced by a single shower house, but there are bathrooms distributed in convenient locations throughout the area. There is also a boat ramp and dump station. Poole Knobs is adjacent to a Wildlife Management Area, so deer, skunks and raccoons frequently enter the campground.
