Tugaloo State Park Campground
About
State Park
Situated on a wooded peninsula, Tugaloo’s cottages and most campsites offer spectacular views of 55,590 acre Lake Hartwell in every direction. Some cottages even have private boat docks for overnight guests. Tent campers can choose between the developed campground or primitive sites located a short walk from the parking area. During summer, the lake is a popular destination for swimming, water skiing, sailing and boating. Both the Sassafras and Muscadine hiking trails wind through oak, walnut, mulberry and cherry trees. Tugaloo State Park boasts a six-lane mega ramp used for large fishing tournaments and easy lake access. Fishing is excellent year-round, and large-mouth bass are plentiful. The name “Tugaloo” comes from an Indian name for the river which once flowed freely prior to the construction of Hartwell Dam.

Summer Kick-Off
We love Tugaloo! One of our favorite campgrounds, with so much to do. Our sites this go around were the absolute best, so wide and roomy, probably two of the best sites in the campground. Lake is right across the way from us for some beautiful views, nice beach swimming and parking the boat. The campground has awesome activities through the summer for the kids and for families. Definitely a much visit!
Nice, Clean Campground
Really enjoyed our stay here. We camped over Thanksgiving 2022. Campground had very clean facilities, however our nearest bathhouse didn't have hot water, but they were waiting for a new water heater. Camp host was very friendly. Sites were good size with a nice view of the lake. Campground was quiet at night. Roads were a little narrow for larger rigs but look to be well maintained.
Do not follow RV Life GPS down CR84!!
Title says it all! Their GPS directions took us down an impassable washed out county road! Avoid it and go straight! 3 more right turns and you’ll get here much easier!
Once we actually arrived to our site, it was beautiful and easy to pull through. Only a little off level, which we fixed easily. Great cement benches and huge fire fits on site. Very spacious with a decent view of the lake. Clean facilities, showers have super strong pressure and do heat up quite well if you give it a few minutes.
Overall an amazing campground worth visiting!
