This is a very well maintained campground with very clean and spacious campsites. The only knock on it at all is there is not much shade, but in the fall that's not that big of a deal. We have used Tuttle Cove as our home away from home on game weekends and it's great! I've seen some reviews complaining about the hills. Aside from being a minor annoyance, it was not that big of a deal at all with our 27 ft trailer. The hills might also make it more difficult to use the shower house, but we just showered in our camper. Playground is in good shape with rubber mulch. Great views of the lake! It's secluded but super convenient to Manhattan. And, if you forgot anything, Dara's (about a 8 min drive) has anything you might need!

Nice and quiet with a view of the lake. Nice space between campsites the showers a bit far if you don’t have a vehicle to drive there and have to walk my only real complaint is the ground is not level and it takes quite a bit of work to level things out but I love this place and this is where I go back repeatedly. If you forgot something there is only about eight minutes away. It’s close to Manhattan if you do have a vehicle to go places. They have picnic tables and fire pits. Only one site has shade.

This is a great campground. Proximity to Manhattan is a big plus for attending KSU activities, etc. We have stayed here one other time and preferred that site (36) better. Sites 10 and 11 are very close together and incredibly unlevel front to back. No trees which is okay for fall camping unless the wind is gale force, which it was on our stay. 50 amp power and water in every site is a big plus. Some sites are very shaded, use a satellite view when reserving. This is a beautiful lake, very heavily wooded and hilly. We would absolutely stay again, perhaps in a different site. Verizon signal excellent. OTA TV excellent also.

Nice big sites most of them are level. Super close to Manhattan so that’s fun to go into town and eat. We’ve been on the lake only once-looking forward to going back.
