Wonderful COE. Very large campsites, very long camping pads. Sites are close together but the size of the sites makes that a potential non-issue. We loved our site on the upper point, the views were spectacular of the lake and surrounding hills. Just a gorgeous place to camp. Very close to Manhattan for convenient shopping and KSU events. Utilities are good, but be warned the water pressure is unbelievably strong. Water pressure reducer absolutely necessary. We had lost our pressure reducer on a previous trip, and that resulted in a leak inside our camper. There are trees planted for shade on the upper area but now it's open and would be hot and windy in the summer time. Other areas of this campground do have shade, so plan accordingly. This was our first time here and we will return. Just such a peaceful place to be. I didn't want to leave.

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.

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.
