Blue Ridge Toccoa River KOA - Blue Ridge, Georgia (May 2023)

This was a relatively new campground when we stayed there about a year ago. If you attempted to get camping reservations in the past few years, you know how much we need more campgrounds and camping options. It still had the look and feel of a new campground as we pulled in this time. That is why we were surprised and delighted to see that the campground was making improvements. They were adding a meeting room and other features to the campground.

We were at this park for the same reason as when we visited last year. This campground was very close to my wife’s brother’s home and gave us an opportunity to visit him. That meant we didn’t spend too much time in the campground because we wanted to be with him.

As typical for KOA campgrounds that we have camped in, the office staff was very friendly and the golf cart driver who escorted us to our site made us feel welcome. 

In the community of Blue Ridge

Of course, we had to get an award-winning cupcake

We think there was something in the sno-cone!

People living in the Blue Ridge area say they are in the mountains of Georgia. Perhaps a more accurate description is to acknowledge that Blue Ridge is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. That means there are some great scenic views in this area. We also enjoyed visiting the touristy downtown Blue Ridge with Becky’s brother.
