Nice park for a short camping stay. Showers need maintenance and is quite a steep walk to get there. Campsites are fairly large and somewhat level. Close to town for supplies.

Had no issues with the campsite #1. Nice shade and level. Only issue we had was there was no dock by the boat ramp. Didn’t sound like this would be resolved anytime soon.

We had a nice, level, shady site. Grass was mowed, however, a few sites still had a lot of weeds. Nice and close to Manhattan for any needs.

Sites 23 and 24 at Tuttle Creek Cove are not very desirable. Plenty of shade but getting our campers level was near impossible. We will not be camping in those 2 sites again. Everything else was fine
