Itinerary:

Pioneer camping (aka. car camping) is one of my favorite warm weather activities and it is my birthday weekend so I thought I would combine the two into something fun for all. For the month of June, we are headed to Tugaloo State Park located on beautiful Lake Hartwell. Tugaloo is the Indian name for the river which once flowed freely prior to construction of the Hartwell Dam.

Our campsite sits on a wooded peninsula right next to the lake. The site has a shelter, picnic tables, running water and a pit toliet. The park has a nice sandy beach, volleyball, miniature golf and fantastic large-mouth bass fishing.

The agenda as always is simple and laid-back...Friday we will setup camp, cook dinner and relax around a glowing campfire; Saturday it is breakfast, a short hike, lunch and the afternoon is open to swimming, sunning on the beach, volleyball, etc. We will round out the day with a gourmet dinner and a campfire. Sunday it is a late breakfast and then pack for home.

NOTE: In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, the AOC will no longer use styrofoam plates or plastic cups. We will recycle all plastics, bottles and cans during our events. Further, the AOC will provide everyone reusable plates, bowls, utensils, etc. We ask for everyone to bring their own drinking CUP to wash & reuse during the event.
