     Tugaloo State Park

Reservations (800) 864-7275
Park (706) 356-4362


NOTICE: Lake levels are more than 18 feet low. All boat ramps, the swimming beach and cottage boat docks are closed.
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 campsites located a short walk from the parking area. Fishing is excellent year-round, and large-mouth bass are plentiful. During summer, the lake is a popular destination for swimming, water skiing, sailing and boating. Both the Sassafras and Muscadine trails wind through oak, walnut, mulberry and cherry trees. The name "Tugaloo" comes from an Indian name for the river which once flowed freely prior to the construction of Hartwell Dam.
NOTICE: The park will be closed to the public on Jan. 13-14, 2009 for deer management hunts.
Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Office Hours: 8AM-5PM
