Camp Toccoa - After WWII

After WWII

The camp closed at the end of the war. In the late 1940s, it served as a Georgia State Prison site, housing primarily youthful offenders, but several escapes forced the state to close the site, moving the operation to a new facility at Alto, Georgia.

The Patterson Pump Company occupies another portion of the grounds.
