What Guests Are Saying

Thunder Rock Campground features friendly and helpful hosts, a clean bathhouse, and a great location for outdoor activities like paddling and biking. Many campers appreciate the serene atmosphere by the Ocoee River, with well-maintained sites and good facilities. However, some sites may flood during heavy rain, and there are occasional issues with road noise and amenities like hand soap in the bathrooms that could be improved.

Clean facilities, friendly staff, and quiet nights next to the river. Close access to hiking, rafting, zip lining, and much more.

Started a weekend backpack on the Benton Mackaye after camping here. Arrived late and took out early. Thunder Rock was the perfect a place to stay to kick off the adventure. The water levels were pretty high when I was there. If your planning in experiencing the river check on the expected flows for your trip.

We loved the camp site at Thunder Rock! We'll definitely go back there for Ocoee River camping. Really appreciated it being safe for dogs. It was so fun to be right next to the river!

We had a great stay at this campground! The campsite was situated nicely for some privacy and was large enough for 2 multiperson tents to be set up comfortably next to each other. The bath house was clean. The site manager was friendly and very personable. We drove out to do some hiking and returned back to the campground to find everything as we left it. There were never any problems with disturbances in the campground.
