Tugaloo State Park

Tugaloo is a lovely state park with many campsites with water-views. The lake-front sites are considered premium and cost a little bit more than the regular sites. Even with a reservation, the sites themselves are first come first serve. We heard some people complaining that it's hard to get spots next to your friends when it's busy.

Our site had a fantastic view of the lake, though isn't any privacy between sites and voices carry.

The roads in the campground are really bumpy from the tree growth, and they're also quite narrow. So if you're arriving while it's busy, navigating the roads can be a bit hairy.

The state park property is huge, and the beach and playground area look fantastic. It's probably quite popular during the summer. We enjoyed walking the campground loops and noticed that some of the regular spots were quite nice and some even private.

Site #48, my favorite site. I would have never imagined that I would like this spot if I had neighbors on both sides and yet I did. Perhaps it is because I had great neighbors and it really was only for the weekend. I was here in November so the campground was not real full, obviously more campers on the weekend. Also this site may or not be noisy when in the summer, the lake is full of boats and jet skis. I just really enjoyed the view and the park. There are a few trails from the campground that were nice for hiking and I kayaked out to the island one day. Other campers bring their boat and dock it near their campsite.

Many of the sites in this campground, overlook the water so you may prefer a pull thru site. I really think the majority of the sites are very good. The beauty is with Georgia State campgrounds, you don't reserve a unique spot and can choose your site when arriving at the campground. Want a plus? There is cable TV, not digital but could get all of the cable stations.
