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.

Great location! Lots of hiking trails to explore right from the campground and whitewater rafting just a few minutes away.

This was a nice overnight campground for us as we were traveling through. Quite and easy check in.

Excellent campground, very nice sites. Be sure to bring a tight fitting PFD. The Caney Creek runs along the side of the campground from the generator till where it becomes part of the Ocoee. You can jump into the (extremely fast and cold) Creek and swim out about 300 yards down at the boat ramp. It's a ton of fun, but requires a PFD (not only required by law but also extremely recommended). Bathrooms weren't the cleanest, but they had flushing toilets and hot showers (more then enough if you ask me). Excellent location if you're coming to kayak or raft the Ocoee. Highly recommend spending some time in Copper Hill, TN and Blue Ridge, GA. Both less than 30ish minutes from the campground.

We arrived after dark unfortunately( and it was raining unfortunately. And someone was parked in our spot unfortunately. I could see a person in the car asleep so I carefully approached it and knocked on his hood and shined the light on myself so that he could see that I was not being aggressive. He had pulled in to sleep overnight and didn't set up anything because of the rain. The post at my campsite must have blown off in the rain. The good news was I had printed my receipt and I had it there to show him and within a couple of minutes he found my reservation on the ground. He politely moved in without any fussing. So… It was a great campsite. The walk to The bathroom was not far. Had it been good weather, it would've been a nice shady site. Overall I liked the stay and would come back.

We have been camping here since 2012 and while the campground itself is beautiful and quiet, the facilities are in poor condition. We arrived on Monday and left the following Thursday, we never saw the camp hosts or a park ranger (which we always have in the past) the female bathroom lights were burned out over the sinks, several of the camp sites were missing their numbered markings, and although we had reserved our site 12 days in advance it was not marked stating such so anyone could've taken it. The many many deep potholes in the campground road were ridiculous!!
Why is no one maintaining the biking trails? Several trees are down blocking the paths and limbs sticking out that could seriously injure someone.

Nice campsite. Clean restrooms and showers. Way too much road noise from nearby highway.

Lovely sound of the Tennessee river system right nearby. Nice place but lots of people coming in and out after quiet time. Popular hiking place.

That is a great campground to stay and play. The sites are great and the sound of the river is so relaxing.

What an amazing place. I wish I would have stayed longer. The river next to my spot was just perfect. All other campers were very respectful. I will return.
