Deep Hole Recreation Area

Offering a uniquely tranquil and immersive outdoor experience, the Deep Hole Recreation Area campground feels like a retreat into pure wilderness. Positioned beside a serene bend of the Toccoa River in North Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains, its standout features include riverside campsites, outstanding trout fishing, and a location that serves as the starting point for the Toccoa River Canoe Trail.

This small U.S. Forest Service-managed campground boasts just nine primitive campsites arranged in a single loop, ensuring a peaceful and uncrowded atmosphere. While lacking modern amenities like water or electric hookups, the sites are equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, grills, tent pads, and a shared vault toilet. The proximity to the Toccoa River, with two campsites being directly riverside, offers unparalleled access for fishing, kayaking, and tubing. Anglers will appreciate the deep waters teeming with rainbow and brown trout, especially with the nearby Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery regularly stocking the river.

Conveniently located just 20 minutes from the charming town of Blue Ridge and near major outdoor attractions, the campground provides access to hiking trails like the Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trails. Just a short drive away, Vogel State Park and scenic waterfalls round out an adventurer’s itinerary. Whether for a weekend escape or a quiet stopover, Deep Hole Recreation Area offers an authentic and serene connection to North Georgia's natural beauty.
