The place
Located along the banks of Rock Creek and far from civilization, this area offers camping, hiking and trout fishing. Fishing in Rock Creek and Mill Creek for stocked and wild trout is popular. Hikers can enjoy the Appalachian Trail nearby and is easily accessed from Forest Service Road 69. Another beautiful hike is along the Benton MacKaye Trail to the north of Frank Gross; this trail crosses the Toccoa River on a suspension bridge that is 260 feet long. The Frank Gross Recreation Area consists of eight camping sites. Each Campsite is equipped with a tent pad, picnic table, lantern pole, and grill. Keep reading
There are no water hook-ups, electric hook-ups or dump station available in the campground. All of the sites are within easy walking distance of the creek.
