This was an incredible place to camp with our kids. We brought all four, ages from 7-12. They were able to ride their bikes around the loop while we watched them sitting by our campfire. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Right off the Occoee and one of the hydro plants, you can hear the water flowing all day, nice and peaceful.
Campground was clean, well maintained with very clean bathrooms, hot running water and a friendly and informative host.
Perfect location for mountain biking and or hiking. Water was a little low (early November). I had a great relaxing time.

Thunderrock is an OK campground.
But the road in and out, and within the campground, is terrible. I drive a small economy car, and if I'm not really careful, it bottoms out on the rocks on the way in and out. I had a couple of times with a hard hit, even driving carefully, that I feared would damage the undercarriage of my car.
Walking around the campground at night is hazardous, because it's easy to miss one of the potholes in the road and fall. Even if you don't, they're deep enough to soak your shoes when they're full of water.

From what we was told.....it was good for kids. It wasn't. Also we was told we would have electric,water and sewage and we didn't so we left after the second day. Didn't stay the five days we was supposed to stay.

We had nice time here! The trail to the Whitewater Center is great for a causal walk/hike. It would be a perfect campground for a base camp for rafting/kayaking the Ocoee River. There are also fantastic mountain biking trials via the Tanasi trail system that’s accessible from the Whitewater. Center.
The campground loop is gravel over old pavement. It’s good for kids with bikes, but wouldn’t be good for scooters/training wheels.
