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

Great place to camp. Well maintained with nice views. It's far enough from the highway/City that you don't get people just driving thru.

We are geo-cachers and we came to Manhattan to cache! We did visit the university there to do some caching there, and it is where our daughter got her mater's degree in 1988! We especially, liked the earthcaches that took us to several places to learn about the Flint Hills of Kansas. We also did a hike at the experimental park/preserve owned by the university and enjoyed the trail there very much. It's a pretty area and we always enjoy the COE parks for their huge, and clean sites. We had a great stay and glad we picked Tuttle Creek.

Very nice campsites. Plenty of room. Super clean. Extra spot to park a second vehicle. Pretty place. Didn’t use the showers or restrooms. Enjoyed my time there. Camphost Martha was so nice. Checked to make sure didn’t need anything and stopped next day to give me some guides to local attractions.
