Deep Hole Recreation Area

About

Deep Hole Recreation Area is a U.S. Forest Service campground located along the banks of the Toccoa River in the North Georgia Mountains of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The campground features nine sites arranged in a single loop, with sites 5 and 9 positioned directly beside the river. The area serves both campers and day-use visitors, offering a launch point for tubing and kayaking as well as excellent trout fishing opportunities. This is the starting point of the Toccoa River Canoe Trail, a nationally designated river trail offering 13.8 miles of moderate paddling to Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area. The Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery, located just 5.5 miles away, stocks the river with trout weekly during peak camping season. Cooper Creek and Rock Creek campgrounds are within ten minutes for additional fishing and camping options. The campground operates year-round with a mild four-season climate. Fall brings vibrant foliage to the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Blue Ridge, Georgia is about 20 minutes away with restaurants, craft breweries, and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Mercier Orchards offers seasonal U-pick fruit and a farm market nearby.
