Hi Jenn,
Thank you for pointing that out.
Can we have a camper and tent on one site?
Hi Don,
You can have a camper and a tent in the same campsite at Tugaloo State Park. They both must fit in the campsite – with the tent in the tent/pad area.
We just returned from our first long weekend since the refurbishment of the RV camp ground ~ well done GDNR! While Tugaloo SP was always one of our favorites, it is now THE go to state park. Thank you!
Only a short 1.5hr drive from WNC and such a beautiful park! Clean, organized, and the merchandise in the visitor center was all reasonably priced for those last minute things you forgot to pack. Huge park with so many different options for activities and camping sites! The walk-up campsites are so spacious and private. Camped there last weekend and going back in 2 weeks again!
Stayed at Tugaloo in 2018. Reservations, but not site specific, were accepted at that time. When you arrived you choose and open site in your designated area. I chose 69. Great view but did not notice a path with stairs to the water was at the end of the site. Campers used the stairs to access the water. The area became a parking lot as campers parked their golf cards there giving a lack of privacy.
Looking forward to returning to Tugaloo this spring. One of my all time favorite places to camp. So many beautiful waterfront or water view sites to choose from. A very special place.
How long can you stay at one time
Hi Jimmy, You can stay up to 14 consecutive nights at Tugaloo State Park campground.
Wow! Beautiful park and we loved camping right on the lake. It was absolutely stunning and relaxing. We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the bathrooms and facilities too. Your staff is doing an AMAZING job keeping everything safe and are very friendly. We will be back again soon. Highly recommend!
