Many campers appreciated the spacious, well-maintained sites, and the peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities.

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.

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.

Alright, park. Don’t recommend being close to water, the wind is wicked. If it’s gonna be windy, definitely get a spot close to the wall.

Had an amazing weekend. I would suggest that the gate post (brown) across the road from lot 39 be removed because it has no function anymore or paint it bright orange. We almost hit it trying to get into our lot. It blends into the background too well. Thanks.
