The process for obtaining/ reserving a campsite is onerous and difficult. The campsite was beautiful, with amazing bird life and fireflies. The ambience was quiet and respectful. Bathrooms were clean and stocked.

Tuttle Creek Cove is very quiet and clean. Super easy to get in and out and close to all of the lake activity. We will no doubt be back in the future.

This was a fantastic and clean campsite. The playground was clean and our kids loved it. Make sure you have enough blocks for the incline. We will be returning!

Campsites were large, clean, beautiful view of the lake, and well landscaped. Pads were level with easy access - plenty of room to back in. Only drawbacks - no sewer hookups at each site & Toilets are outhouse type without water.
Otherwise, one of the best campsites we’ve stayed at.

I was not able to visit prior to our stay and chose the spot because of the proximity to the water/shore. When we arrived, it turned out to be a cliff above the water. More photos or descriptions of the surrounding areas would be really helpful in determining the best location for us.

We have stayed at Tuttle Cove twice in July. On our first stay, we were met by a camp host at the entry hut. He never asked for my senior card, our reservations, nor did he look at the computer to see if we had reservations. After that, our stay was two nights, we did not see a camp host. On our second visit, July 27 thru August 2, we never encountered a camp host, it appeared only one was present as the second camp host RV was gone, and it appeared that the remaining camp host was gone at least 2 days. Although we were absent from the campground during the day as we were moving our daughter into a new apartment, we did not see the camp host drive by nor were there any reservation cards on the posts, our site did not even have a post, and, needless to say, we were never given a mirror card for our vehicle. What has happened to camp hosts greeting campers, checking their reservations or helping them find a site, giving them instructions to their site along with a trash bag, having reservation tags on posts at the site, and issuing mirror cards to each vehicle? This is a beautiful campground that we have stayed in many times over the years. We have recommended it to others but now hesitate to do so after our last two experiences. On the plus side, my wife and daughter used the showers and both spoke highly of the cleanliness of them, which tells me someone had to be cleaning them. Can we just return to the days, not long ago, when camp hosts did their job, patrolled the campground periodically, and visited with the campers? PLEASE HELP!
