A really interesting slice of American history. Theyve done a great job of producing a sample of what the camp was like. Theyre also reassembling a C-47 like the troops there jumped from, to display for tours.
Been wanting to visit because of Band of Brothers and this is where the 506 trained. Its more nostalgic and memorialized for the greatest generation while the buildings are being renovated and restored. The gift area is small but there are some interesting pics and museum pieces to read to understand the historical context, but not enough to keep to engaged on site for a long time. Looking forward to seeing this place fully restored!
A beautiful place in Georgia that was once forgotten. A great place to hike and catch a small piece of history. Tied in with a visit to the Toccoa museum, you will find the Airborne from Camp Toccoa were heroes and earned many metals. Highly suggested and a great place to take in fresh air and take in the beauty of North Georgia.
Very authentic, nice people, great history lesson, would recommend to everyone
Very helpful volunteers, full of information.
The small remnant of the camp itself was closed, but I had come to run up Currahee itself (three miles up, three miles down). That was a soul touching experience in its own. A beautiful road through a beautiful forest. The only downside was the graffiti near the top, and that the purpose of the hill now is as a placement for cell towers, but there are views at the top that will momentarily allow you to ignore the modern world and see there Georgian countryside possible as the men of Easy Company saw it. Currahee!
Great place to visit and learn about WWII history.
Great place to visit and learn some great history from the people there
Run the mountain. What are you chicken?
Tough run in the footsteps of the 5-0 Sinks!Curahee!
I remember it from my childhood, glad to see they are rebuilding.
Special Place,Never Forget!
Love the monuments around this place. We were not able to get into the camp historic site as it was closed, but you can still take in the historic significance of the camp by visiting the monuments and signs out side the fence.
Awesome Museum, Keith Hornick & the staff are awesome, great history of Band of Brothers...
Was at the camp today helping build one of the barracks and took a couple from Denmark on a tour of Camp Toccoa.
A lovingly maintained and skillfully managed tribute to the men who trained in Taccoa and left their to fight the war in Europe.The muesum is surprising large spanning many buildings and contains some common and some unique artifacts.The staff and volunteers here are true gems! Wonderful, kind knowledgeable and Keen to interact they made it a day to remember.
Historic site. Thanks for keeping it up.
I would like to visit, however can’t find any information about opening times and days. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
3 miles up.. 3 miles down. Im a runner and it was incredibly brutal, couldnt even run the whole thing the road was so steep. Wanna go back though..
My children love this. Its cost effective. Its safe. The staff is flawless! The campground is pristine.
Great history to be seen and more to come as bunk houses are being reconstructed.
A must see gor military enthusiasts.
Camp Toccoa has so much to offer adults & kids! Whether you want to do a retreat with coworkers, boy/girl scouts, or rehabilitate your precious child. Camp Toccoa hits all areas! The cabins are spacious enough & are grouped close enough for access to electricity, bathroom facilities & a camp fire. Activities include lots of hiking, team building, horseback riding, ropes course, swimming, and beautiful views of natural scenes.Since my group helped complete Community Service Projects, we got a chance to make a difference in the lives of all the summer travelers who want to have fun. The experience was great & allowed us to see what it takes to keep the facility running successfully. The staff of Camp Toccoa are very friendly & patient with everyone, and they try to accommodate the requests from their guests.I highly recommend any group utilize this facility for a few days, or volunteer to help them!
It is a special place if you are appreciative of the Band of Brothers series and that time in our history.
Great place to visit. I was fortunate to go there twice with the 2-506.
The trail is fun to run
Very cool bit of local history. We found a fun geocache, too!
If you were a fan of Band of Brothers or are a mitary history buff, this is the place for you. They have plenty of authentic items used by the 101st during WWII. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking a hike or (attempt) run up Currahee as well.
Hate all the spray paint at the top!
Historic place to visit n good place to ride
Only a self absorbed idiot would post about Taccoa being a nice retreat for kids. What a moron. This is where men of the greatest generation in American history were trained to defeat the factious germans. Then to have some clown post about how their group helped complete the site. Go to a boy/girl scout retreat you idiot and stop disgracing this camp!
Camp Toccoa is an amazing camp for kids who want to learn things about nature and to experience the beauty of teamwork and friendship.
A great historical landmark from WWII and the beginning of the 101st Airborne.
I wish I can visit there...
When I went there is loved my cabinmates and my cabin manager!
Great exercise,beautiful scenery
Love it!
It wasnt open, but the sense of history is palpable.
Awesome place
