Adventure Ocoee | Retreat Center — Attraction in Tennessee

After my recent visit to Ocoee Retreat, I would say it is a great place to bring a large groups for fellowship and bonding.

The staff was friendly and the activities are plentiful. They have a dining facility available and is fully staffed. It's cafeteria style, which means you'll go through a line and will be served food. They have sanitizing stations and restrooms available for hygiene.

While visiting, the lake equipment wasn't up to par. The inflatables were not fully operational and what I mean by inflatables. I mean those huge obstacle course style inflatables.

We found various stains on the sheets, what was definitely blood on the ceiling and there were bugs and dirt everywhere. This place was absolutely horrendous and we left the morning after the first night because it was so unsafe and not clean at all. never come here. ever. also i didnt believe in ghosts until i spent the night at this place, i...

We brought about 60 people and unfortunately didn’t get the experience we paid for. Three of five activities were canceled or compromised due to either unclear rules and extreme safety restrictions. One cabin had a mice issue that ruined our food.

The on site manager was great, and most of the staff were cool, but several seemed undertrained or carried some attitude that took away from the experience. Unfortunately, the owner never responded when we reached out privately to resolve things. That silence spoke volumes. We appreciated the heart behind the camp, but major improvements are needed in leadership communication, staff training, facility upkeep, and overall...
