Best time to visit Ocoee River State Park
Late spring through early fall is the prime window, with warm days, full river access and open campgrounds.

May and October are excellent shoulder months for RV travelers who prefer cooler temperatures, lower humidity and quieter trailheads. Winter visits are possible for hiking and fishing, but expect shorter river-release schedules and limited campground availability.

We opted for delivery and setup to the campsite which was great! When we arrived everything was set up and ready for us to move in. It was great to escape the heat at the event and have lunch and dinner at the camper. They were awesome to work with! We highly recommend them for a rental option!! We would definitely choose them again!!

So glad I chose to rent an rv for the first time this weekend, as it rained 2 of 3 days and nights. Communication was smooth, even when a strange fluke occurred and I accidently got locked out. Matt immediately drove out to the site with a spare. It seemed to be a malfunction in the mechanism which I'm sure they will be addressing soon.The camper was clean, well equipped and simple to operate. The bed was comfy and I am particular. So , I was , a happy camper.

We enjoyed Drew’s camper very much for our Labor Day weekend trip to Chattanooga! Despite high temps in the 90’s and hitting 100 during the weekend, we even got cold at night from the air conditioning working so well. The camper was clean and looked bigger in person than the pictures. Lastly, even though we never actually got to meet Drew, he was attentive and responsive over messages when we had questions. We would absolutely stay in Drew’s camper again!

We rented this camper and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The camper itself was clean, comfortable, and clearly well maintained. Everything was in great working order, and it was obvious the host takes pride in keeping it ready for guests. The host was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. Communication was quick and friendly, and they were genuinely helpful throughout the entire process, from booking to pickup to return. Any questions we had were answered right away, which made everything smooth and stress free. Highly recommend both this camper and host, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future!

How to get to Ocoee River State Park
The park corridor runs along US 64 and TN 30 in Polk County, Tennessee. Fuel, food, shopping and sleeping accommodations are available in Ducktown, Copperhill, Benton and Cleveland, Tenn., reachable in under an hour. Chattanooga is roughly a 1.5-hour drive west via US 64, Knoxville is about 2 hours north, and Atlanta is approximately 2.5 hours south, making Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport the most practical fly-and-rent option. RV drivers should plan for a winding two-lane mountain highway through the Ocoee Gorge with narrow shoulders, limited pullouts and steep grades, so large rigs should drive cautiously and avoid towing in icy conditions.
