written directions and GPS address was incorrect, my jeep pulling a 800lb trailer couldn't make the turn to access the campground. poor signage leading to property, dangerous roads leading to property

Camp Raggae was cool, unique, and kind of a curiosity. The hosts are wonderful, the bathrooms clean, and spots to camp are left to your own creativity. We learned, after the fact, that Sonia will cook Jamaican food for you or a regular breakfast upon request.

Great people great place. We were the only ones there and came late so we didn’t get a chance to explore. The look-out spot looks like the best place to camp.

Enjoyed our stay. The hosts were great, learned a lot about the history there, and their amazing little dog guided us through the trails to a nice sunset overlook. We’d do it again

Camp Reggae Getaway
Stayed here while we did a Ocoee adventure and its off the beaten path. Might come back for one of their music festivals in the future.

Jatti and Marla were fantastic hosts. When I arrived there was a huge selection of different places to set up camp, from the woods on the ridge line, to a terrace overlooking the main stage, to secluded sites in the woods near the stream on the property. It was exactly what I was looking for and not too far off Route 64. There were some cooking grates already at the campsite, which made cooking super easy and benches there as well. Great trails on the property made it hard to leave, although only a 30 minute drive to some great hikes and rafting near and on the Ocoee River.

Camp Reggae Getaway
I can't wait to go back to Camp Reggae. It feels like a little wilderness paradise and adult summer camp. There's lots of sites around the property to choose from, a gorgeous overlook to watch the sunset, and a few trails to wander on. The toilets and shower were also clean! Highly recommend visiting Camp Reggae

I really liked the campsite, but I never actually meet the host. When I arrived the hosts friends were there setting up some campsites for their future use. They told me the hosts were out playing a gig (they're musicians) and they didn't know when they would be back so set up camp wherever. There house doesn't need to be there, but maybe a message or some instructions from them about their absence would have been nice.

Camp Reggae was the perfect setting for a weekend of camping with friends. There were plenty of places to set up a tent and/or hang a hammock, a perfectly acceptable bathroom and shower and a gorgeous place to watch the sun rise and set. The camp hosts were friendly. All in all a great time was had by everyone.

This place is pure magic! The hosts could not be any lovelier or more welcoming. We had the place to ourselves Friday night and then luckily got to be part of a wonderful birthday celebration Saturday night with Alaskan trout and the best live reggae music. What a treat! Not to mention the beautiful trail to the creek, the gorgeous sunset vista, and the close proximity to the Ocoee river and Tanasi mt bike trails. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jati and Marla!

I really enjoyed the stay at Reagge Camp. The hosts were super friendly and it was a very relaxing place. Be sure to check out the stream on the property. Very nice. I will be returning to Reagge Camp very soon!

It's a bit of an adventure to get to if you're running late like we were and the sun was setting. Make sure to download the map area on google maps prior.
Hosts were very kind and great. I like that there were bathrooms, only one has a sink, but that's fine.
There aren't many flat spots for tents, so that's a little bit of a bummer. It's also closer to the highway than we expected so you hear the cars and revving of engines as cars speed around in all hours of the night.
If you're looking for somewhere quiet, I'd recommend somewhere else. Between the noise of the highway and the music playing from about 8/9am till 1-4am, the quiet, dark, and serene outdoors weren't the thing to experience here.
The people were very nice and they cooked some good food. I hear it's a great time for their festivals.
If you forget anything, there is a Dollar General not far and the hosts can tell you easily how to get to town. A bit further from there is a Walmart, maybe a 20-30 minute drive?
You can make a campfire at whatever site you choose as long as you're safe and responsible about it. That was very nice. And the fellow campers were also great -- and all Camp Reggae regulars. They all spoke to the greatness that they have.
I just wanted to give the warning that if you are looking for peace and quiet and the sounds of nature and away from noise and everything else, this may not be the spot for you.
If you're looking for community and lifelong friends and to hear some good tunes the whole time, this is the place for you to check out.

Nestled in the Smokey Mountains, Camp Regae is a neat little retreat. It was great for hosting a get together of our group of 15.
The road there would be difficult for some smaller cars and light trucks and would be tough to find during the night.
Once you’re there you’ll see a cool little stage set up on the side of a hill.
At dusk, walk up a nice path to see a sunset over the mountains.
During the day you can walk down to a creek or a bit farther if you want to visit the lake.

Camp Reggae was gorgeous! It’s secluded, so we weren’t worried about disturbing anyone nearby. It’s a very short walk to see an amazing sunset! We also cooled off in the creek and hung our hammock over the water. The way in and out was a little tough in the RV since the road is rocky, but it only made it more of an adventure! I would definitely come back!

Not much cell phone reception, but that's part of what makes this place special. Getting to disconnect from the city and reconnect with nature, friends, and family is really what this place is about. I've been coming here at least twice a year for the past ten years now. I absolutely love this place, and the hosts are amazing. They will cook delicious food and keep you entertained with stories around the campfire. If you're lucky, they might even play a few tunes for you. My home away from home, my sanctuary.

Such an incredible spot! Well worth the drive! I spent my days enjoying afternoon dips in the creek to cool down from the Heat and then relaxing on the ridge to enjoy a breathtaking sunset View. The hosts are very gracious and kind Souls, two very special people indeed. I cannot wait to go back again already!

Camp Reggae Getaway
Beautiful mountain side property, semi-developed but a lot of natural woods and land to camp on too. Many different places to camp. Great hiking, mountain top views, stream for swimming, relaxing, meditating. Off the beaten path. Very kind and generous hosts. Would love to see what it looks like when they have the festivals running.

Camp Reggae Getaway
Camp Reggae - I didn't realize before arrival, but it's huge. You can find a lot of information on many different websites, including google maps. A quick backstory, Sonia and Tony started and host an annual reggae festival (thus the name) since 1999.
Getting out there is easy enough, following their directions. It's an incredibly scenic drive, but most likely you won't have cellphone signal. Their property is huge! They said they can host about 250 people any given time. There is a full mountain or two to play on.
We opted to stay in our tents, because we were looking to camp, but they have several closed shelters for anyone who'd prefer a little more structure. There was also a full kitchen, restroom facilities, giant firepits, hammocks, swings, basically everything you could want. They have many hiking trails already laid out, with hours of space to be lost in, should you want to.
As a personal note, if you have a chance to try any of their food, definitely do! They made absolutely delicious soup while we were there, and offered. If I could find the recipe, I absolutely would. Also, after we left, we looked up their own music. Past bands they'd been in, and current - are all great. I'd suggest listening on your drive in!
Overall, I highly highly recommend. I plan on coming back for one of their future festivals as well!
