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.

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!

Sites 23 and 24 at Tuttle Creek Cove are not very desirable. Plenty of shade but getting our campers level was near impossible. We will not be camping in those 2 sites again. Everything else was fine

We had a nice, level, shady site. Grass was mowed, however, a few sites still had a lot of weeds. Nice and close to Manhattan for any needs.
