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.

Very nice Corps of Engineers park. No sewer connection but there is 50 amp and water. Sites are well spaced with fire rings, grill, and picnic tables but the gravel aprons are a little on the narrow side. Reservations are easy and the cost good. No wifi. Sufficient cell service though. Nice park overall. We camped at Tuttle Creek Cove in a travel trailer.

Is an amazing camp host. She saved our butts the first night, as one of our campers had their hose break. She made sure we were all safe as well as everyone else in the campsite. She is a blessing to the campground.

The stay was during Kansas State graduation2022, very quiet and nice place to stay.
Bathrooms and showers had lots of bugs and shower drain could have been cleaned out at least once a week. Overall great

Lean, level, large sites. Lake was low so not easy to get to water.

VERY peaceful and quiet. We originally picked site #13 but it was very uneven so we moved to #12 instead it was great. This loop as all new sites/hookups from the flooding that occurred a few years ago. You’ll get a work out up the hills too!

Very friendly and clean place. The view of the lake is lovely, and the staff is constantly checking for the security of the guests. Reasonable prices as well. Thank you!

All the campsites have been renovated and leveled better than they used to be. The views from all campsites are gorgeous if you like lake views. If you have any trouble getting around you may want to consider somewhere else. The roads are very hilly and steep in places. Other than that I highly recommend this campground.

Just passing through and this was a great place to stop for a few days. It was the end of the season, so I didn’t experience the height of the season which was okay for me… 👍 Manhattan is close and an interesting college town—K-State U
