** 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!

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.
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
Gorgeous secluded house with beautiful views, fire pit, porch swings. All of the kids loved the bunk room so much and didn’t want to leave. House was incredibly well equipped and functional. We loved swimming an fishing in the lake.
Best place we have stayed in the U.S. Lot of thought was put in place to help the Vacationers. Great place for pet and non pet owners. When we come come back hopefully we will stay there again. Thanks Butch and Tina
Such a great stay at Camp Tugaloo! Wonderful home with every necessity included. The front porch and bonfire were great places for the family to hang and enjoy 😊 The dining table was big and hosted our whole group! Beds and bathrooms were amazing too - the tub downstairs was a dream.
Our family had a great Christmas at this home. It had everything we needed and more. So many thoughtful details. Our granddaughter loved the bunk/game room. The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. Kim is a great host. We will definitely book again in the near future.
We didn't get a chance to visit the property because of hurricane Helene but the property manager and VRBO were fantastic to deal with and their customer service and support was beyond what was contacted. Their understanding and accommodation for the situation says more about their quality than anything else.
Camp Tugaloo was perfect for our family and had room for more! The camp theme was unique and adorable. The kids room was the best... I mean what kid doesn't love a bunkbed, much less a TRIPLE bunk?? So fun! The house was stocked with everything we needed and was just perfect. Minutes from Toccoa and the college (the reason for our stay)... we will.definitely be back to stay again! Kim was a great hostess-- very responsive
Perfect location and amount of space for our family to stay in the days leading up to my wedding at Toccoa Falls. Large dining table was handy for our makeup artist and hair stylist to set up to get us ready the morning of the wedding. Host was very kind, thoughtful, and quick to respond. 5/5 entire experience.
We adored our stay here! The hosts have thought of everything, and it was fun to discover the many extras. The only thing we didn’t realize was that the road in front of the house is actually rather busy, so it wasn’t quite as remote as we had expected. But the view was beautiful, the home was beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable, there were plenty of nearby things to do, and our sweet little doggie could also accompany us. There was even a dog lead outside so we could hook her up for a while without waiting for her to use that bathroom. We enjoyed the fire pit, the karaoke machine, the foosball table, the many books and games, and more. We would definitely like to stay again.
We had booked our stay for vacation time for my husband and I, with family gathering later in the stay to celebrate 3 birthdays. Then Hurricane Milton started heading towards us and we decided to evacuate. Luckily, the cabin was available and our Host worked with us, making our evacuation a calm and pleasant stay.
The cabin was decorated for Halloween/Fall and was comfortable for just the two of us and for the group of us. We made wonderful memories @ Camp Tugaloo celebrating 3 family birthdays, and taking in sites nearby including Camp Toccoa, the Military museum, Traveler's Rest Historic site, Toccoa falls, Tallulah falls & gorge, and Brasstown falls with some fishing at the local park and Tugaloo State Park! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to stay! We will recommend Camp Tugaloo to others and plan to return again.
The pictures do not do it Justice in any way. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed for cooking as well as entertainment. The children absolutely adored the upstairs game room. We all enjoyed sitting on the porch and looking at the water. There was some road noise but it wasn't anything too distracting. There are also several places to visit around the area. We felt it was perfect for visiting Helen as well as other falls, trails, and parks around the area. The little town is very pleasant. My mother was especially excited to be able to go into a Hallmark store. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan on making it one of our regular vacations.
Camp Tugaloo was perfect for my daughter’s 16th birthday. We had two adults and five teenagers. The girls LOVED the bunk room and being able to hang together in one space. The cabin was a perfect size, stocked kitchen, and plenty of essentials for the weekend. I appreciate not having a long list of things to do for checkout. Cabin is close to Toccoa Falls and Lake Hartwell is across the street on the other side of the road. The road was a bit noisy but didn’t bother us. We went to Boondocks one night which is a cool/fun place. Kim had suggested it. I recommend this cabin and would stay again!
The house was perfect. Everything was exactly as described. The host thought of everything. We didn’t have pets with us, but if you do there are plenty of accommodations available. There were tons of activities to keep our kids occupied while we were there. The WiFi didn’t work while we were there, but we didn’t need it. There were plenty of movies and our phones had great coverage. Overall we couldn’t be more pleased with the stay.
One thing to be mindful of is the driveway is pretty steep. If you’re there while it’s raining, you may have a little trouble getting back up the hill. We were able to make it in a minivan but it took some time.
