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.

Very disappointing that you have bathrooms open during covid and can't fill or supply hand soap!!! Disrespectful to the fragile rural community.

amazing experience. The tent sites T1, T2, T3 should be noted as part of the parking lot even thought they are not.

We had a wonderful time. The campground host was welcoming and helpful with hiking trails and local information. If you read reviews you will see a lot that complains about the road noise. There is a major road that runs right behind the campground so you will hear big trucks and cars traveling, but it did not bother us at all. The sound of the water rushing was relaxing and the campground was clean and well maintained. This is a nicely situated campground and we will go back again when the rain forecast is more promising. We will defiantly go when we can get the campsite we have claimed as ours ;)

The campground was nice. The host was above and beyond helpful and nice. There is absolutely no phone signal (at&t) even the host has no way to keep up with the online reservation. The website does NOT have accurate information on site availability. Might have better luck calling the ranger station. Our reservation was not marked like the others. Unable to tell which sites are first come first serve. Was very frustrating but the host helped and got us 2 nights at a site on the river. Again, DO NOT rely on the website for aite availability.
