Tumbling Creek Campground Access

Tumbling Creek Campground Access provides primitive, free camping with 8 pull-in sites along Payne Branch (Tumbling Creek) near Ocoee #3 Lake, accessible via Forest Service Road 221.

The remote location offers no facilities (no water, restrooms, or hookups), requiring fully self-sufficient camping but rewarding visitors with peaceful solitude and excellent fishing opportunities.

Access is via gravel forest service roads approximately 7 miles from Highway 64, suitable for standard vehicles though low-clearance rigs may prefer the alternate paved Grassey Creek Road route.
