Tugaloo State Park, Lavonia Georgia

When we bought our RV we promised each other we would go out one weekend a month. Saturday we set out for Tugaloo State Park on the Georgia South Carlina border. I did not want to drive more than two hours, so I found this park on the Georgia State Park website. There were six parks within a few miles of each other so I thought we should not have any problems without a reservation. Also I thought this park was on a lake, but it is actually on a river.

On the way up we were passed by many cars flying the University of Georgia flag. They were headed to Athens to attend the Auburn - Georgia game. Georgia lost on a last second field goal. We also found some furniture outlet stores which are only an hour away so we will return soon.

The dogs and the girls stayed behind, although the dogs were so excited they were in the RV 10 minutes before we departed.

The three year old is Parker, the daughter of my new friends in the site next to us. They also had traveled from Atlanta for the weekend. I asked Parker how old she was so she took off her mitten to show me.

From the Tugaloo website:

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. The name “Tugaloo” comes from an Indian name for the river which once flowed freely prior to the construction of Hartwell Dam.
