The name Tugaloo comes from an Indian name for the river which once flowed here prior to the construction of Hartwell Dam.
We camped here in May 2012 and had a pull-through site facing Lake Hartwell. This lake offers swimming, water skiing, sailing, boating and fishing. We had a great hike through the woods with beautiful hardwoods and enjoyed riding our bikes around the park. See trails for more information. As you can see below, Savannah Rose and Dakota Blue also enjoyed camping. Some of the cottages have a private boat dock for overnight guests. There is a Trading Post at the entrance to the park for signing in, maps and those forgotten items. They have a few snack items and a drink machine. DIRECTIONS FROM ATLANTA: Take I-85 North to exit #173 and turn left on GA 17. Turn right on Gerrard Road and travel 1.5 miles. Turn left onto GA Hwy 328 and travel 3.3 miles to park. Entrance will be on the right. There is a huge speed bump before reaching the gate. GPS Coordinates: N 34.499100 | W 083.078100 Tugaloo State Park Google Map       |
