Had a beautiful full view of the lake, park was very clean and well kept. Quiet, reasonable rate, especially with the life time senior pass. Definitely on my favorite list.

Both times we camped there the sites were not clean. Never had anyone check us in. Unusual for a COE campground. Not much to do there unless you boat or fish.

Beautiful weather, campground nearly empty for the 6 days we spent at Tuttle Creek Cove. This campground is close enough to Manhattan to eat out or run an errand but feels remote. Only negative was poor cell reception.

Beautiful campground. We were parked right beside the lake! Only noise at night were the coyotes... had some trouble finding the campground. It is a Corp of Engineers campground and once we found their office and got a map we were quickly there.

We enjoyed our stay there. For whatever reason, we had no cel service. As long as it’s reasonably cool our spot as good. It will be several years before the trees are grown enough to provide decent shade.
