Tugaloo State Park

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. Reservations can be made at the Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites website or by phone.
2. Booking in advance is recommended. Reservations can be made 13 months ahead of time, but be aware that some sites are only open seasonally.
3. Campsites that have not been reserved are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

When to Go

Tugaloo State Park is open all year round and is at its most appealing in summer when you can cool off and splash around in the water. The lake is popular with swimmers and boaters during the warmer months, while the hiking trails see more traffic in the fall. Summer temperatures are typically between the low 80s to low 90s, dropping to the 60s and 70s in fall and spring and the mid-40s in winter. 

Know Before You Go

• As well as camping, accommodation options include cottages with private boat docks and a handful of yurts, which require reservations
• In the summer, canoes and kayaks can be rented in the park. 
• Deer are plentiful in the wooded park, so watch out for them on the roads.
• All pets must be on a six-foot leash and continuously attended. Pets are not allowed in swimming areas or in any buildings.
