I have been an equestrian for 40+ years and horses are my passion. Recently purchased this beautiful , peaceful property in 2017 and have had to think outside the box to continue to care for my wonderful animals as when I moved from urban environment to rural , my income has been challenging to teach enough horseback lessons to survive and discovered Hipcamp!
This made me consider sharing this wonderful place. We have a White Dog Farm fan page :Facebook, Instagram: WHITE.DOG.FARM , can show our horse activities and more photos.

The Cove consists of 12 acres with a tributary stream and spring fed ponds
less than a half mile from the Toccoa River. It was originally the water source for the surrounding properties prior to the city installing a water system. It is completely private and unspoiled nature, with about a mile of walking trails throughout. The Mountaintop is a 3 acre high elevation site bordering 140 acres of undisturbed woods and is also very close to the Toccoa River.
Fantastic location yet very private for base camp to access the many activities in this area, or enjoy the Toccoa River. It is the only campground in Fannin County limited to only one group at a time.
Each site includes 2 access points to the Toccoa River. The Gibbs Drive community river access lot has a charcoal grill, picnic table, boat launch, swimming rock and fire pit with chairs. The Toccoa River Forest community river access lot has a big boat ramp. The river is controlled flow and usually at low water from dawn to about 2 pm, ideal for fishing or swimming/wading/boulder bopping. The River release schedule is available online at
the website TVA.gov.
The River has swift current when the dam is opened for release, usually daily.
This property is conveniently located in Mineral Bluff, Georgia 30559, just 4 miles off the 4-lane highway (Highway 515/76) and just a short drive to Blue Ridge, Georgia; Blairsville, Georgia; Murphy, North Carolina, McCaysville, Georgia and Copper Hill, Tennessee. It is a paved road drive all the way to the entrance. It is located just a few miles from the center of downtown Blue Ridge with art galleries, many restaurants, brew pubs, shopping, the Blue Ridge Brewing Company, Mercier Orchard, the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad, and more!
The Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad runs most of the year from Blue Ridge to McCaysville, right along the Toccoa River.
The campsites are equally close to downtown McCaysville, Ga. /Copper Hill, TN.
You are a short drive from Lake Blue Ridge, the Chattahoochee National Forest, Brasstown Bald and many hiking trails, such as the Aska adventure area, the Appalachian Trail, the Benton McCaye Trail, and trails in the Big Frog wilderness area, Cohutta wilderness area (largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi) the Rich Mountain wilderness area and the Project Chimps hiking trails. The Ocoee River whitewater center with the Olympic kayak rapids
and the world class mountain biking trails are less than 20 minutes away. Hiking, biking, fishing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, tubing, boating, swimming, zip lines -- oh my!

Weekend Trip to Your Toccoa River Cove!
Mr. George owns a very beautiful slice of heaven up in the north Georgia mountains. The convergence of several small streams set the backdrop to a very quiet and tranquil weekend. Clean outhouse, 2 bars of LTE just in case you need to contact civilization, and not a peep from the neighbors made this camp out delightful. I'll certainly be adding this to my "repeat visits" list!

Beautiful secluded country/woodsy glamping. It was nice to just park and carry your things to the glampsite. Very welcoming, and lights around the campfire area with swinging loveseat, chairs and couch. I had numerous campfires during my 3 night stay and wood provided!
Super welcoming and cozy in the tent. 2 chairs and tables and a comfortable bed for two!
The owners were welcoming, helpful and nice!
I highly recommend this glamping option…

Great time at Campsite 2, George and his Son were very friendly and welcoming , and we had the entire place to ourselves on Friday evening. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet weekend getaway, and I most definitely will be back with some friends to enjoy this little Gem again. Thanks to George for such a great stay

This will be our go-to spot for Blue Ridge from now on. We felt so at peace during our four nights here and loved hanging out and listening to the sounds of the creek. We were able to generate plenty of solar power in the sunny meadow. And having a flush toilet and hot shower available on site was a great luxury. Five stars!

My husband and I enjoyed our trip to The Cove. The grounds are beautiful and you feel like you stepped back in time . We had room to set up our 4 man tent under the shelter with plenty of room for cooking and setting up our chairs to hang out and enjoy the spectacular view. We also enjoyed the fire pit. The outhouse was very nice as well. We look forward to another visit and recommend this place if you are ready to get away from the hustle and bustle and are in need of some R&R. The host was very friendly and checked in on us when we first got there and let us know we could call him if we needed him. It was also nice falling asleep to the sound of the babbling brook.

We loved staying at Castleberry Bridge! We enjoyed walking along the river, sleeping next to it, and taking a freezing cold dip! The porta potty was very clean, well stocked, and had a light at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come visit with Gini and George again, they’re so kind!

There are so many good things about this spot. You get the combination of a beautiful, peaceful spot on a creek and amenities like a fire pit, hammock and toilets and showers, with friendly dogs and goats as a bonus. And on top of all of that Ralph is the best host. He is thoughtful and accommodating and does everything to make sure you are happy and have everything you need during your stay. Thank you, Ralph!

I had a great time camping with my 6 and 9 year old sons!
We enjoyed hiking the trails, hitting golf balls on the small range, exploring the grounds and petting the animals, and a night time hot tub session.
The tent is great - comfy and spacious enough for 3, and there is plenty of outdoor seating for roasting smores.
Great spot for an intro to camping for my boys.

Glamping #7 had the best view of the forest and was a little more private than the other camp set ups. Loved being able to see the stars at night and the quietness and cleanliness of everything. There’s hiking and a the falls really close by. Really loved the amenities that were offered and the space.
