Nice place to visit in late fall. Not busy and you have the place to yourself. Always clean and well kept. Keep in mind there is NO cell service there so you are off the grid.

Nice campground and clean bathrooms. A little too much highway noise but the river and river sounds are beautiful.

Very nice to be along the river. Kind of noisy with car/truck traffic on main road across the river. Interesting to be by the dam. Nice hikes adjacent to campground.

Spectacular views and lots of places to explore in the Cherokee National Forest.
We checked out the Ocoee Whitewater Center, Mac Point Beach, Clemmers Trailhead, went whitewater rafting and floated down the river behind the campsite.
Would love to visit again and check out more of the many trails in the area.
