Ocoee, TN

The Chilhowee experience starts on the road to the campground. Forest Service Road 77 is a Forest Service–designated scenic byway that climbs 7 miles to the campground. Don’t rush the trip—pull off at one of the cleared overlooks and enjoy the view of Parksville Lake below while mountains and valleys undulate in the distance. The long narrow road keeps most of the big ribs from attempting the climb making for a much quiter site..
