this location never has hand soap at the bathroom sink. im guessing its to keep people from washing at the sink. still its important for public health for there to be hand soap there.

Had an excellent time staying here! Went right around halloween and the trees were beautiful. The campground was very well kept and spacious. The host came by to check on us each day, and he even let me borrow his axe to split some firewood. I will definitely be coming back!

Great site, very clean area. Friendly staff. Over all quiet. Our campsite was on the river. The highway was loader than the river unfortunately, but still a great site. Verizon had zero service.

Thunder Rock is perfectly located for whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and hiking. The campground hosts are exceptionally. Dave kept us all informed and insured the quiet enjoyment of our stay, which maximized our experience.

Love the Ocoee River and surrounding trails. The Campground Host were great. I have never used a Vaulted Toilet that was so clean. Look forward to my next visit.

We stayed in campsite 12 at Thunder Rock. Our site was directly on the river and well shaded, which made it very pleasant. The campground was well maintained, clean and the campground host was friendly. Our only negative thought was proximity to the power plant; you are literally staying next to it.
