Natural Features

Deep Hole Recreation Area is located within the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia and you can't ask for a better atmosphere for camping and floating down the Toccoa River. During the months of October, North Georgia's trees put on a vibrant show. Summer's dark greens change to brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows which makes the camping atmosphere amazing. Thousands of visitors make the trip annualy and we hope you will as well.  

Recreation

This campground is located along the banks of a big turn of the Toccoa River just north of Suches, GA. The primary attraction to this area would be the trout fishing and being able to float down the Toccoa River. The Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery is only 5.5 miles away and they stock this area with trout weekly during peak camping season. Coopers Creek and Rock Creek are within ten minutes of Deep Hole Recreation Area, which offers visitors more areas to trout fish and more camping opportunities in beautiful North Georgia.  Deep Hole is the beginning of the Toccoa River and is a Nationally Designated River Trail.
