18mi from Ellijay · 3 sites
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.

2️⃣. Don’t like walking back into the woods to enjoy your treehouse.
3️⃣. Don’t want to walk to your private locked bathroom a short walk away.
4️⃣. Don’t like the idea that creatures sometimes sneak inside the treehouse, as it is not completely sealed.

My great grandfather sold this property to his son Edgar, $1.25 acre in 1926. He was 16 years old and getting married, they raised 7 children in a one room cabin on this property and life was hard. Grampa cut wood, worked in a mine in Chattanooga, made moonshine, and anything else to feed his family. There's 200 acres here still in the family, most can be used to explore and camp on.

At Winedrops Creekside Camping guests can be expected to feel right at home. When visiting they should know this is glamping and an off grid camp site. But we have many amenities other campsites do not offer. There are many activities to do while visiting Turtletown TN. Raftiing, horseback riding, hiking, pubbing, gambling, shopping, relaxing and just unplugging from technology and enjoy the peace and quiet of country life. Please note there is no internet or TV, but if one MUST have connection to the outside world then we do suggest to come up to the cabin and one can connect like that. Vickies internet. Snowbird51
NOTE: We apologize but due to many factors we have had to increase our rental fees to cover losses and other expenses associated with guests care. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

My great grandfather sold this property to his son Edgar, $1.25 acre in 1926. He was 16 years old and getting married, they raised 7 children in a one room cabin on this property and life was hard. Grampa cut wood, worked in a mine in Chattanooga, made moonshine, and anything else to feed his family. There's 200 acres here still in the family, most can be used to explore and camp on.

At Winedrops Creekside Camping guests can be expected to feel right at home. When visiting they should know this is glamping and an off grid camp site. But we have many amenities other campsites do not offer. There are many activities to do while visiting Turtletown TN. Raftiing, horseback riding, hiking, pubbing, gambling, shopping, relaxing and just unplugging from technology and enjoy the peace and quiet of country life. Please note there is no internet or TV, but if one MUST have connection to the outside world then we do suggest to come up to the cabin and one can connect like that. Vickies internet. Snowbird51
NOTE: We apologize but due to many factors we have had to increase our rental fees to cover losses and other expenses associated with guests care. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This cabin was the perfect mountain escape—quiet, tucked into a ravine, and surrounded by winding roads and beautiful views. We arrived late Friday, please note when arriving in the dark it may be a bit hard to find but for us it just added to the laughs. There was no signal out near the cabin, so it took a bit of teamwork, but we got it figured out.
Saturday was all about the outdoors: breakfast at Bear Necessities Café, then hiking Amicalola Falls (about 40 mins away, but again we appreciated the drive through the mountains and we're not rushed to do anything). We tackled the 425+ stairs at the falls, and tag-teamed carrying our dog, who absolutely refused the metal steps 😂. Sunday’s rain slowed things down in the best way—gold mine tour, incredible Mediterranean food at Pharaoh’s Feast, then soaking in the hot tub and ending each night with a campfire. Peaceful, cozy, and dog-friendly. Couldn’t ask for more.

The place was amazing! Everything you need in a camp site. The fire pit and picnic table were just right for meal time and roasting marshmallows. The outhouse was a nice feature for the ladies on the trip. The shelter really came in handy the last morning since it was raining. This place is for sure on our list of places to camp at again. Thank you so much for a wonderful camp site!

Another great trip to the Cove! For anyone who comes right after us, we set up your first fire logs in the firepit. We brought our own firewood but you’ll find enough logs in the wood crib to do about two fires, plus the giant stumps that are great to prolong the fire if you can get one going. George also has a bale of pine straw in there which is super helpful to get a fire started. My whole review is about fires, can you tell it was cold while we were there haha! Saw several deer and hawks. Lots of stars and quiet.

My partner and I stayed just 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer! The camper was so charming and cozy!
Devin is a wonderful host… including all the necessities and clear instructions on how to use everything. He responded quickly to my silly questions and made us feel very welcome.
The RV park is small and quiet but very close to grocery stores and several cute shops.
We had an amazing stay!
I’d love to go back again!

This is such a gorgeous and relaxing spot. The cabin is clean and roomy and the outhouse is pretty nice lol! One of the best parts is that the dogs got to be off leash around the site. It was a perfect way to spend a few chilly October night. We had everything we needed: a fire pit to keep warm, cozy blankets in the cabin, and forest sounds to keep us company. I highly recommend giving this spot a try. George is a phenomenal host who was available immediately when I called him with a question. 10/10 would come back!!
