What Guests Are Saying

Thunder Rock Campground is praised for its clean facilities, beautiful riverfront location, and friendly camp hosts. Many visitors enjoyed the variety of outdoor activities available, such as hiking, biking, and rafting. However, some concerns were raised about maintenance issues, flooding risks at certain campsites, and the lack of basic amenities like hand soap in restrooms, which could enhance the overall experience.

We arrived after dark unfortunately( and it was raining unfortunately. And someone was parked in our spot unfortunately. I could see a person in the car asleep so I carefully approached it and knocked on his hood and shined the light on myself so that he could see that I was not being aggressive. He had pulled in to sleep overnight and didn't set up anything because of the rain. The post at my campsite must have blown off in the rain. The good news was I had printed my receipt and I had it there to show him and within a couple of minutes he found my reservation on the ground. He politely moved in without any fussing. So… It was a great campsite. The walk to The bathroom was not far. Had it been good weather, it would've been a nice shady site. Overall I liked the stay and would come back.

We have been camping here since 2012 and while the campground itself is beautiful and quiet, the facilities are in poor condition. We arrived on Monday and left the following Thursday, we never saw the camp hosts or a park ranger (which we always have in the past) the female bathroom lights were burned out over the sinks, several of the camp sites were missing their numbered markings, and although we had reserved our site 12 days in advance it was not marked stating such so anyone could've taken it. The many many deep potholes in the campground road were ridiculous!!
Why is no one maintaining the biking trails? Several trees are down blocking the paths and limbs sticking out that could seriously injure someone.

Nice campsite. Clean restrooms and showers. Way too much road noise from nearby highway.

Lovely sound of the Tennessee river system right nearby. Nice place but lots of people coming in and out after quiet time. Popular hiking place.

What an amazing place. I wish I would have stayed longer. The river next to my spot was just perfect. All other campers were very respectful. I will return.

Very nice area to camp. Not the absolute best for kids- not much to do except explore (which is fine by me) trails were closed though.

We will definitely be back and enjoy a relaxing weekend!

Good camp sight. The only one with electricity. Close to bath house but a little too close to the main camp road.

Great place to camp. Stayed 2nights had no trouble with getting my pop up camper in the site. Restroom and bathhouse was clean and maintained.
