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.

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.

Tuttle Creek Cove campground is an amazingly well planned and laid out property. The sites are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. We would definitely recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

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.
