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.

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.
