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 Cove!

Our time on George’s land was quite pleasant and provided everything that we needed. George was a very responsive host and helped us when needed. The only thing and it’s not George fault or his property. There’s a noise ordinance after 10pm which is standard and completely understandable but we noticed Saturday night the neighbors were target practicing it was a bit noisy but they stopped shortly after. It didn’t worry us and I wouldn’t let it worry yourself, it wasn’t that close and not long either. The campsite is extremely close to local shops and restaurants even downtown blue ridge! Overall, I’ll definitely come back and recommend this to anyone I know. Affordable price too!

Your Toccoa River Cove!

What a great campsite, it’s pretty much perfect! We will definitely be back; I was happy because we saw NO other people, my husband was happy bc he didn’t have to bury his poop lol (he likes an outhouse), and the dog absolutely loved running around in all the streams. The mosquitoes weren’t even bad!

Your Toccoa River Mountaintop!

Very nice layout! The shelter was awesome and it definitely helped cut down on the cold wind that blew through our first night. My son and I loved the area and chopping up some wood. Very close to some nice fishing spots. Host was very responsive! Will definitely be coming back.
