Tugaloo State Park is a hidden gem on the border of Georgia and South Carolina nestled snugly within one of the Southeast’s largest lakes—Lake Hartwell.
Many visitors to Georgia hit the 55,000-acre lake for a variety of recreational activities on the water, but most overlook the beautiful state park right next door.
Tugaloo State Park is a fantastic place to spend a weekend out in nature, especially when you rent one of their authentic yurts in the park’s yurt village.
Enjoy the sunsets from your back porch—and a little tip for any renter—try to score Yurt #4 for your stay, it has the best waterfront views and is right on the edge of the peninsula.
