CAMP TOCCOA TODAY

OUR MASTER PLAN

When you see and read about the scope of this project, you may wonder how something of this magnitude can be accomplished by volunteers in a small Northeast Georgia town. Our commitment to the preserving this historically significant Camp and the legacy of the "Toccoa Men" is unwavering. Here's our The Master Plan (see concept design below) and the status of each phase:

THE ARCHWAY & GUARD SHACK

The archway at the entrance to the camp has been constructed and is now in place. The guard shack has been constructed from original camp materials and welcomes visitors at the entrance.

THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS

The only remaining original  Camp Toccoa building is renovated and bathrooms, showers, and HVAC, have been installed. A Barracks Gift Shop and a video/ white board system has been added to show visitors camp history and plans. The floor in the main area has been sealed. A mock living with bunks has been added as well. The building is being used and is also available for meetings, reunions and special events.

WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

THE PAVILION

The Appalachian Regional Commission gave a $54,500 grant to the project to construct a pavilion that seats 450-500. With the help of numerous volunteers, generous donors and quality contractors, the facility is now completed and far exceeds our initial design. The pavilion has hosted several veterans gatherings and is available for groups to rent.

THE BARRACKS

 Barrack 1 has been constructed using panels from original Camp Toccoa structures. Barracks 1 & 4 are completed and available for overnight stay. 

 

FUTURE PLANS

 

BARRACKS

Barrack 1 (the 506th) and barrack 4 (the 517th) are completed and available to rent. The foundations for barracks 2 and 3 are in place yet additional funding is needed in order to complete them.

THE BATHHOUSE

A bathhouse will be adjacent to the barracks and pavilion and can be used for visitors. 

C47 PLANE

A unique and unexpected gift was donated and has arrived onsite in the form of a C47 plane, a model used by the "Toccoa Men" during D-Day. It will be painted and reconstructed as money becomes available. Learn more and support the project.
