This property consists of a tributary stream and spring fed ponds less than a half mile above 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. Fantastic location yet very private for base camp to access the many activities in this area, or enjoy the Toccoa River.  The 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 campsite is 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) and the Rich Mountain wilderness area. 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!
Exceeded my expectations
Beautiful spot. Private but close to town. Felt very safe. I put my tent in the shelter, and although it was 16' in the mornings, it was good cold protection. Really nice location with alot of hiking trails close by. I had my 2 dogs with me, and they loved running and playing off leash. George was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ host. Very responsive and helpful. Will definitely return in the spring.

Great Mountain Getaway
Absolutely beautiful spot. Tucked away so there’s some privacy. My husband and I brought our dog. We fished the Toccoa during the day and ate what we caught at night. Was a great little escape for us. Thank you!!

Great time at the Cove as always!! Rained a little but not a problem with the Adirondack shelter. For anyone coming soon after us, there was TP, two bags of charcoal, half a paper towel roll, salt, pepper, various spice blends, band aids, and a bit of hand sani left from other campers. You’ll need fuel for the coleman lantern, and firewood. The crib was empty and with the rain we quickly went through what we bought down the road. Our dog had a great time and the misty gray weather just made the Cove even more beautiful.

Your Toccoa River Cove!
A little slice of heaven
The views were beautiful and directions to the site were easy enough. It was wonderful to hike around the property. The outhouse made me a little nervous with my tiny girl (she still wears 2T clothing) because there’s probably a 20-30’ drop where the waste goes. I was terrified she was going to slip in. The water features wear wonderful and created such a relaxing sound.
