-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: The park will be closed January 8-9, 2008 for managed archery deer hunts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: One of the two boat ramps is closed due to low water levels. 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 Crow Tree and Muscadine nature trails wind through oak, walnut, mulberry and cherry trees.
