Tuttle Creek Lake

5020 Tuttle Creek Blvd
Manhattan, KS 66502-8812

Situated in the scenic Flint Hills, Tuttle Creek Lake provides 12,500 surface acres of water and 100 miles of shoreline, making it the second largest lake in Kansas.

Many sites around the lake have been developed to enhance your enjoyment of fishing, boating, camping, picnicking, and outdoor sports. Eleven parks (six managed by the Corps of Engineers, four by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and one by Pottawatomie County) offer a wide range of facilities such as overnight camping pads, utility hookups, beaches, comfort stations, boat ramps, and picnic shelters. Also available for lake visitors are a full service marina, nature trails, hiking, equestrian, and off road vehicle trails, and a shooting range.

Additionally, over 16,000 acres of land surrounding the lake have been enhanced to benefit wildlife, providing excellent hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. Konza Prairie, Kansas State University, Fort Riley, and the Prairie Parkway are among the nearby attractions.

Stunning sunrise views on a site by the lake. The shower house is a bit of a hike up a hill, which was great exercise. Some sites have a more limited view due to a huge retaining wall on the hillside.

Nice campground that is well maintained. Usually very quiet. Great place to stay for K-State home football games. Camp hosts are friendly and helpful.

We always enjoy the beautiful lake, the well maintained grounds and the clean bath/restrooms at Tuttle Creek. Most sites are fairly level (be sure to check before you reserve the site) and easy to park if you have a smaller RV. The 40+ footers may have a difficult time with the drop-off on the hill to the left of the road between sites 16 to 22. The concrete stops for second vehicle parking may have been a good idea, but they make it difficult for long rigs to back into the site. Moving them would be most helpful.

Stayed 2 nights. Bathrooms and shower were clean and heated. Booked the reservation online. Never had to deal with a person directly for anything. Came and went easily and felt observed by staff so we new things were safe. Would come back again.
