What Guests Are Saying
Tuttle Creek Cove offers a beautiful campground with stunning lake views, clean facilities, and friendly staff, making for an enjoyable stay. Many campers appreciated the spacious, well-maintained sites, and the peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities. However, some sites have access and leveling issues, and cell reception can be poor, but overall, visitors found it a great location close to Manhattan with plenty of natural beauty.

We had a lovely view of the lake. Beautiful places to walk the dog.

Great long spots, nice views, super nice staff. We had to take site 6 instead of what we originally booked (site 22). Do not book 22, assuming it is great because ids 80’ long. You have to nearly back up u-turn into it, the road isn’t wide, and it’s a deep ditch on the side where you’d use (drive in grass) to accommodate backing if you are big. A disaster waiting to happen.

Spotless clean bathrooms! Even the vault toilets were clean and smelled good.

We enjoyed our stay there. For whatever reason, we had no cel service. As long as it’s reasonably cool our spot as good. It will be several years before the trees are grown enough to provide decent shade.

Beautiful campground. We were parked right beside the lake! Only noise at night were the coyotes... had some trouble finding the campground. It is a Corp of Engineers campground and once we found their office and got a map we were quickly there.

Beautiful weather, campground nearly empty for the 6 days we spent at Tuttle Creek Cove. This campground is close enough to Manhattan to eat out or run an errand but feels remote. Only negative was poor cell reception.

The sites were very clean with plenty of space!

Both times we camped there the sites were not clean. Never had anyone check us in. Unusual for a COE campground. Not much to do there unless you boat or fish.

Mike and Emily are great hosts and very helpful around the park!
Very willing to help out with showing me how to change reservations to another spot on the app.
Great hosts!
