** PLEASE NOTE - from Dec 1 to Jan 15 Camp Tugaloo will be decorated for Christmas**
Where the meandering Tugaloo River flows into Lake Hartwell, where the night stars touch the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, where you can do it all, or do nothing at all, THAT is where you will find Camp Tugaloo. This new home sits just across the street from Lake Hartwell, with endless possibilities for adventure or just relaxing. Less than 2 hours from Atlanta, 71 miles from Greenville and only 29 miles from Clemson, this is the perfect weekend getaway or escape for even longer. Our comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath getaway features a king bedroom, a queen bedroom and a fun bunk room with a full/full bunk bed and a twin bunkbed. The main level features one queen bedroom, with the king bedroom and the bunk room located upstairs. Each floor has a full bathroom with tub and shower. The main floor bathroom features two sinks, a walk-in shower and a very relaxing soaker tub. Upstairs you will find a tub/shower combo. In addition to the 4 beds in the bunk room, this space is the center of entertainment, with a foosball table, a 65” smart tv and a table for lots of gaming fun! We also provide a pack & play (please bring your own sheets) and a high chair seat (that straps to a regular chair). The fully equipped kitchen is complete with dishware, silverware, glassware, tupperware, pots, pans, cookie sheets, muffin tins, toaster, microwave, cutting boards, an Instapot, a crockpot, blender,oven gloves, paper towels, kitchen towels and dishwasher. If you need to feed your caffeine addiction, as we do, you’ll love our coffee bar. There is a drip coffee maker, a Keurig and a French press for all your coffee needs. There is also a teapot for a bit of afternoon self-care. Dishes for your beloved furry friends are also included as well as an ample supply of towels and blankets that are dog friendly for the pooch that likes to jump in the lake. The 50” smart TV in the living room allows you access to our Netflix, Disney Plus and Hulu+ subscriptions, as well as local and sports channels – you can log into your own preferred viewing channels as well. Wireless internet is available throughout the home and deck. If you need to catch up on a bit of work or schooling, there is a desk with monitor, keyboard and mouse set up in the upstairs king bedroom. There are lots of games and books available for evenings or rainy days. Try your arm at some disc golf with our disc golf hole or challenge your companions to a game of cornhole. In the morning, relax on the deck with a cup of coffee and watch for deer in the yard and the mist lift off the lake as the sun comes up. Enjoy some after dinner smores around the firepit while looking for constellations and shooting stars overhead. The road and driveway are paved all the way to Camp Tugaloo. The driveway is on a bit of an incline. In the winter, if you are concerned about freezing ice, there is a parking spot at the top of the driveway. The parking area in front of the house will accommodate 4 cars, or 3 cars and a boat with trailer. You can also park your boat and trailer at the top of the driveway. If fishing or swimming is your thing, you can head across Hwy 123 and access the lake for shore fun. The Stephens County Rec Area is about 0.5 miles from the house and has a free boat launch! There are also picnic tables, remnants of an old bridge and lots of opportunities for fishing & swimming. If you like to go chasing waterfalls, Camp Tugaloo is less than 10 minutes from the beautiful Toccoa Falls, about 20 minutes from Riley Moore Falls and Brasstown Falls, and less than 30 minutes from Tallulah Gorge and Panther Creek. For you history buffs, we are ½ mile from Traveler’s Rest and 20 minutes from Camp Currahee (of “Band of Brothers” fame). While you’re out, stop by Currahee Vineyard, about 10 miles from Camp, or one of the other 4 vineyards or 3 breweries within about 30 miles. Within a 45 minute drive, you’ll find other fun adventures such as boat rentals & lake fun, kayak/canoe rentals & launches, the adorable alpine town of Helen, tubing, hiking trails, ATV/mountain bike trails, horseback trail rides, whitewater rafting, disc golf, “real” golf, breweries, hunting, botanical gardens, Toccoa Speedway, Hartwell Wildlife Safari, apple & other fruit orchards/farms, ziplining & so much more! We look forward to hosting you at Camp Tugaloo! We're positive you'll enjoy it as much as we do, during all seasons of the year!

The place was even nicer than in the pictures. Spotlessly clean , and extremely pet friendly. There were even milkbones waiting on the counter. This place has a ton of space , and seems bigger than the listing pictures. It was perfect for us .
Very nice home and the host was really responsive before check in. The area is quiet so you can really enjoy your surroundings and the town Toccoa is 10 minutes away with everything you could need. We decided to take a short 45 minute scenic drive to German Town up in Helen. It had a ton of activities and was a great way to spend a day. We are from Florida and when Spring Break comes around everyone is trying to go to the beaches we try to go to the mountains and this was a really nice location.
So wonderful!! Wedding preparation day with our grandson and his groomsmen and our daughter will be forever memories! Everyone had plenty of room, lots to see and do, and our Iggy, Gnocchi, wasn't left out!! Already talking about coming back!!
We loved our stay. Our daughters loved the bunk/gameroom and we loved the decorative touches throughout the house. Good location by the lake. We would rent again.
We came to town for a wedding. Several family members stayed here with us. We had plenty of room, nice accommodations, and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed exploring nearby Travelers’ Rest and Toccoa Falls while in town. We highly recommend this VRBO as it is well equipped and cozy!
I brought my daughter and a few of her friends to celebrate her 14th birthday. The cabin was perfect for it! They had a wonderful time in the bunk bed/game room. I enjoyed the wonderful bathtub! We look forward to coming back.
House was in a great location for views and the review and getting us where we needed to be. The rooms were perfect and the house was well stocked with all we needed. Kids already want to come back and stay at thise house.
It was a cute little cottage. Had privacy, and only took 10 minutes to get to town. The room for the kids were excellent. When we was at the cottage, they hardly came down. Had the right decor to give it a home feeling
Kim was very helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. The house was super clean and fully stocked we will definitely be coming back and would definitely stay there again. It was was a good location not to far from the sights.
Quick girls getaway and we had a blast. The house was fully stocked with everything we could have needed. So cute and comfortable and super clean.
