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.

The site and view were great.
It is not really a good campground for tents due to vault bathroom reasons. The "modern" facilities you have to drive to.

Very nice area to camp. My one suggestion is: give better directions to the park. GPS coordinates would be extremely helpful.

Very nice spot but it’s not super level and it has a pretty decent downslope. It’s a very scenic spot.

Overall very good other than the power issue in the loop i was in. Also, some better leveling of the sights would be nice.

Electric company shut off power at 10 am, by the end of the day we had to move as no one was able to connect the power. it was over 100 degrees. someone should have been able to get the power restored as nothing was wrong with the power supply it was a conflict between corp and power company. If customer service is the priority, something could have been done. The facility is great, stayed there many times, will stay again.

Site 36 is excellent spot for views of Tuttle Creak Lake. One of the biggest sites in the campground. Will definitely reserve this site again.

The RV pads were very nice. The swimming area was permanently closed for the campground which wasn't stated on the website when we booked. It looks like it was damaged due to the flooding a few years ago but it surprised me being an Army Corp of Engineers campground that they would just abandoned the building that was there and not rebuild this area for swimming. It seemed trashy to us. This campground could be a very nice area if they did some repairs and some upgrades. Not as nice as Milford Lake.... We had to drive to the state lake located on the south side of the dam to go swimming. It cost $5 which is cheap but, this area looked like a storm had gone through quite a while ago because there were downed limbs everywhere with brown leaves that is indicative of sitting for quite awhile.
