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.

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!

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.
