Tuttle Creek was our first stop in a new RV. The layout of the campsites made it easy to find and back in no problem. Most spaces have a view of the lake. The upper level has a play ground for elementary age kids. We will definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay at this site. The sites are huge and well kept. The grass was freshly mowed. Not a lot of ticks. It was a quiet area with larger expensive campers. Things to note: While this site is lakefront, there’s no access to the water from it as the lake is about 50 feet down a cliff. Additionally, you can’t see the water when you’re sitting at your campsite. There’s also no dumpsters near the campsites. The closest is a the boat dock.

Campground is clean and tidy. Great sites with beautiful views. The other places we stay have a swim beach very close and this one doesn’t. Also the sites could be a little better leveled out so we didn’t have to use so many leveling blocks on one side of the rv. Other than those 2 things, it’s a great place.
