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.
From the Ocoee Ranger Station turn left onto Highway 64 and travel about 10.9 miles to Ocoee Power House Number 3. Turn right and cross the bridge, following Forest Service Road 45 about 2.9 miles to Forest Service road 221. Turn left on 221 and the campground is 6.9 miles on the left.
Beautiful place to camp. There is no running water or toilets and it smaller like poo for a few hours when I arrived, and it looked like people just littered their toilet paper. There was a meth-head who was squatting and would return late at night. It’s in such a beautiful spot though.
A beautiful camp ground out in the middle of no where. About 25 mins outside of McCaysville, GA.
Road would be bumpy for a car and many trees were down, but accessible.
No bathroom or amenities, only what you bring.
And don't be a pig! Pack out what you bring in!
Absolutely evey inch of the Cohutta Wilderness is fantastic to me. Tumbling creek campground is really back in out of the way, right on the creek which turns into Ocoee #3 at the end of the campground road with a small boat ramp.
It was quiet and best of all free camping! Had a whippoorwill wake us up in the morning. Sounds of the creek were peaceful at night.
Is a gravel road to get back to campgrounds. I had no issues with my car. Some widow maker's that were a little nerve racking.
I'll definitely be coming back.
There's no electric hook ups or restrooms.
