About

National Forest

Located near Ocoee #3 Lake, this peaceful, remote campground offers 8 campsites along the banks of Tumbling Creek. Tumbling Creek Campground is convient to the Ocoee Whitewater Centers’ Tanasi trail complex which offers many miles and levels of difficulty for mountain bikers and hikers alike. If solitude is what you prefer, Big Frog Wilderness trails are also located nearby. Climbing to an altitude above 4,000 feet, some of these trails are rugged but reward the hiker with panoramic views of the mountains and the chance to see wildlife.

Primitive and peaceful

Stayed in mid-February so others might have a different experience. This camp is PRIMITIVE. There are no facilities of any type. Pull in, find a spot next to the river and enjoy. Other than trucks pulling small fishing boats up the road during the day (and maybe people trail riding) there is no traffic noise. No light pollution. Just the peace of nature.

Quiet, not well known except to locals

The drive in on the gravel road takes forever but it is very peaceful once you arrive to the destination. It is nice to listen to the sound of gentle flowing water, to look around and only see one other camper well down the road, it all well worth it.

All the amenities were gone and it is fairly primitive. Overall though it was a great place to camp, for free, in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains
