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!

Best campsite!

Your Toccoa River Cove!

This was my third stay at George’s place. It is absolutely fantastic. It is so serene! I look forward to staying there more each time I visit. Lots of hiking trails around the property and many more just a short drive. The campsite feels very remote, but you’re not far from town. There are many great restaurants in Blue Ridge. Also, I highly recommend the drive-in theater on the weekends!

Your Toccoa River Mountaintop!

We really enjoyed the camping spot and the shelter was great to have for preparing food and giving the kids somewhere to hang out.

Your Toccoa River Cove!

We absolutely loved this spot!!! Tucked back and secluded, with easy to follow directions. We had a family of deer visiting each day, and the sound of the babbling stream and bird songs were beautiful to wake up to. George was very prompt and helpful with both hiking and firewood recommendations. We had rain for many of our booked days, and we were still so happy here. Definitely recommend!

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!
