Tuttle Creek Cove Campground is a large, quiet oasis located on the shores of Tuttle Creek Lake in the wide open expanse of northeast Kansas.
Tuttle Creek Lake's 11 parks, marina, 10,900 acres of water and 20,000 acres of land provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation activities. Boating, fishing and hiking top the list.
Power boaters on Tuttle Creek Lake will enjoy the lake's large main body of water on calm days for water skiing and pleasure boating. Canoeists and kayakers will find River Pond below the dam a perfect place for paddling. The state park offers canoe, kayak, and paddleboat rentals.
Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, Canada geese, wild turkeys, crappie, walleye, channel catfish and other wildlife can be found at Tuttle Creek Lake. The lake's fish and wildlife resources provide sightseers, anglers and hunters ample opportunities for their sports.
The lake also boasts miles of hiking, biking, off-road vehicle and equestrian trails. The Blue River Trail, a one mile long loop in Outlet Park, provides excellent views of wildlife in all seasons.
Tuttle Creek Cove Campground offers 39 compact campsites on a scenic lakeshore setting. Showers, flush toilets and other modern amenities are provided.
Playgrounds and boat ramp are also available, making the area ideal for family trips or parties.
39 sites offer water and 50 amp electric hookups.
Tuttle Creek Lake is situated in the northern portion of the Flint Hills, which are characterized by flat-topped hills with long, steep slopes, limestone rock outcrops and well-defined stream channels. The climate is typified by warm summers and moderately cold winters.
More than 2 million guests visit Tuttle Creek Lake each year to enjoy the endless recreational opportunities provided by the vast lake and surrounding landscape.
Konza Prairie, Kansas State University, Fort Riley and the Prairie Parkway are all located a short drive from the campground.
From the intersection of US-24 and K-13 at the west end of the dam, turn east onto K-13, then immediately turn north onto Tuttle Cove Road and continue 3 miles to the campground entrance.
We stayed a week here and loved it! Can't beat the view and it is very well maintained! Will definitely be going back!
Great place to camp… very quiet during the week. “Beach” area is hard to get down to and rocky. Bathrooms are clean. We would love to go back!
What a beautiful place to go camping. The sites were well maintained. We will definitely stay here again. Quiet peaceful night by the lake.
We only stayed one night but we were lakefront and had an incredible view. Spots had picnic tables, fire pit and grill. We did not check out any of the amenities, showers or restrooms; although they were up quite a hill from our location. I would definitely Camp here again.
Can't beat it. Spectacular views of the lake, well appointed sites with fire pits, grills, lantern hooks, and picnic tables. Some camp sites are a bit hilly, but they are still very nice. Sites have water and electricity up to 50 amps and there is a decent dump station and trash dumpster on the way out.
