Thunder Rock Campground is located in the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee and offers breathtaking views of the Ocoee River, which is nestled in the mountains. The campground is nearby several points of interest, including the Ocoee Whitewater Center, which hosted events during the 1996 Olympics, and the Benton Falls Trail, a 3.5-mile hike that leads to a beautiful waterfall.
The campground offers amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and access to potable water and restrooms. It operates on a first-come, first-serve basis and has 37 campsites available for use.
An interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to the Cherokee Nation, and the nearby Cherokee Removal Memorial Park honors their history and struggle. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the average temperature ranges from 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. However, visitors should note that the campground is closed during the winter months.
