(as of July 27, 2010 - updates are posted on Tuesday)
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. A six-lane megaramp with restrooms and trailer parking opened in July 2010. 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.
