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!

Your Toccoa River Mountaintop!

We had a very good time staying here. We knew the weather was going to be rainy during our stay and the shelter made life so much easier. We didn’t even pitch a tent just an air mattress under the shelter and we stayed completely dry even in some pretty good storms that rolled through. George has all of the basics provided there which was a huge bonus. We didn’t even even have to unpack our camping chairs! The walk to camp is short, but I was a bit surprised that it was in a neighborhood, and we were close to the neighbors, but it was quiet besides the occasional passing car, and being greeted by the neighbors dog. He was friendly but extremely skittish. I was just sad he wouldn’t let us pet him lol. I thought it was in less of a residential area, but all in all it was a GREAT stay and I would definitely stay again especially if you know the weather is going to be less than desirable.

Your Toccoa River Cove!

This is the best site ever. Especially if you like seclusion and have a dog that wants to be off leash and in the water. It's my new haven away from the city. Also, George is a helpful, friendly host. Will definitely be back. 4 wheel drive is best but I don't have it and I made it, with problem the first time and without the next. Get there before dark.

More Than We Hoped For

George has done some wonderful upgrades such as beautiful rock steps and slate pathways to the mineral pond. As always, we did not need to pack as much as we did because of his generosity and supplying a lot of your basic camping needs. Highly recommend this spot if you love a beautiful large relaxing peaceful quiet camping area. It's hard to find hosts and areas that could match Toccoa River Cove.

Toccoa River Adventure

We had an amazing time at George's place!! Pictures do not do it justice! It was like a fairies garden with ferns and greenery everywhere you looked, it was gorgeous. The natural spring and creeks were so soothing to us at night. Our kiddos played in the water everyday to their hearts desire and explored the many trails on the property. It was very private, we did not see anybody until we got out on the main roads. George was very friendly and helpful in recommending places to visit while we were there. We kayaked the Toccoa River twice. We put in at Tammen Park once and floated to the river property that is included in the rental. It was a good little trip, we fished and caught trout that we ate for dinner. It was so good!! Thanks so much for a memorable weekend!!
