The godawful noise from heavy commercial trucks accelerating and braking through the turns on the highway through the gorge was the most noteworthy thing compared to other FS campgrounds. It was occasional during the night and continuous in the morning starting before dawn.

We have spent many short vacations at Thunder Rock, but this year was the first time we brought our 3 and 6 year olds with us. They had the best time watching the river run and playing in it when it was low. The bathrooms are always very clean and the campground is well taken care of. This is our number one pick of places to camp in Ocoee.
