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!

Wonderful awesome campsite. So much space for activities! George has built a beautiful shed area to hang out in. We didnt even end up setting up our tent, just slept in our sleeping bags in the shed. The neighbor had a really good deal with firewood. Would come back again!

We loved camping at George’s place! Likely from last campers, the kitchen area was stocked with items you may have forgotten! We were so happy the weather held up. Lovely place for a group and kids. Thanks George! We’ll be back for more great memories!

Your Toccoa River Cove!

This is one of my favorite places I’ve ever camped at. This is my second trip there. The campsite is clean, surrounded by trees so you feel very secluded yet you are not too far from town.

Your Toccoa River Mountaintop!

Great trip!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was our first time camping with our kids and they loved the property. Lots of woods to explore and having the covered structure and outhouse made their first time camping so much more comfortable. I hope to come back again!

Your Toccoa River Mountaintop!

George was great! Instructions and information about the area were well thought out and thorough. Loved the hiking recommendations, too. The campsite was wonderful. It looks like great care went into the design and upkeep, and it was a really calm environment. Would love to come back later in fall when the leaves change more.
