Sugarloafers is located on a portion of the old Ocoee Outdoors Zipline. It is nestled along the lower Ocoee river with great views of Sugarloaf and Big Frog Mountains. This is an excellent gateway to Parksville Lake and the Cherokee National Forest and all the activities it affords including whitewater rafting on the Hiwasee and Ocoee Rivers, mountain biking, kayaking, lazy river tubing/floating, fishing, and so much more! Our property is one of nine - 5 acre tracts along the river. As of Fall of 2024, the adjacent lots have houses on them. So while this campsite is some distance from the houses, it is currently within view. Although the campsite is back from the highway, road noise can be an issue especially on the weekends. Highway 64 is one of three major roads in the county. Unfortunatley, tents don't block the sounds of Harleys racing down the road at 2 a.m. Consider bringing earplugs or muffs if you are a light sleeper! Within a mile from the end of the driveway there is: Food - Subway Sandwich Shop and the Gondoler restaraunt. Whitewater Outfitters - Ocoee Outdoors, NOC Ocoee Outpost, ACE Ocoee Adventures Myrtles Cafe is now two miles east next to the Firefly Market. Please consider visiting these local business, they provide excellent service. Other - Rock Creek Oufitters Ocoee Store, Ocoee Express Gas Station and Convenience Store, Sugarloaf River Park and Parksville Dam and the entrance to the Cherokee National Forest! Dollar General & Foodcity - 4.2 miles back towards Cleveland (because someone forgot their phone charging cable and you want a 6 pack of beer). Middle Ocoee Private boater takeout is only a 10 minute drive east on Hwy 64. Consider a hike to beautiful Benton Falls - drive to the top of Chilhowee Mountain and it's a 3 mile round trip hike. !!!ALSO!!! Due to the massive damage caused by hurricane Helene on September 27, 2024 - especially to I-40 through the mountains - Highway 64 is now one of the primary routes into NC from TN. Expect traffic along this route to be busier than normal.Pitch your tent along the lower Ocoee river and set your hammock up in adjacent pine trees. Enjoy watching the river flow from the top of the boulder or sit at the picnic table to enjoy a cool beverage. Build a fire in the fire ring and enjoy your stay after a day of recreation! All in a nicely shaded area. Just a 10 minute drive from the Middle Ocoee River take out and 5 minute drive to the Parksville Lake boat ramps.  Note: As of Sping 2025 - the adjoining property now has a house on it. Unfortunately the neigbors do have dogs that are sometimes secured outside and do bark until brought in. The Ocoee Express gas station is 1/2 mile down the road and has a Subway and an excellent selection of adult beverages.  Grab a bite to eat just down the road at the Gondolier, Ocoee Dam Deli or The Bus if you're hungry. Be sure to check out breakfast at Myrtle's across the street but check hours ahead of time. As of mid October 2024, a new Food City opened just 4 miles west. If time permits, consider driving Hwy 64 into beautiful Ocoee Gorge up to Copperhill (25 miles/35 minutes one way) where there are many shops and several breweries.  Ocoee Watersports just 3 miles east rents kayaks, SUPs and more to get you out on the water. Make Sugarloafers your base camp for the Cherokee National Forest!
