Manhattan is the 8th largest city in Kansas, though it’s by no means a large town. Resting in the state’s northeast quarter, Manhattan is home to Kansas State University and is better known as a college town than a camper’s paradise. However, the green plains and forests in Manhattan feature the Tuttle Creek State Park, while surrounding towns within an hour’s drive offer other RV camping opportunities. - Among 12,500 acres of water and roughly 100 miles of rugged forested shoreline, the Tuttle Creek Reservoir is home to the Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, Kansas. The RV-friendly campgrounds include 159 water and electric campsites, 24 electric-only campsites, seven electric campsites with shared water and eight campsites with water, electric and sewer hookups. Park amenities include a swimming beach, boat ramps, courtesy docks, restrooms, showers and dump stations. Attractions include nature hiking trails, a mountain bike trail, an equestrian trail, picnic areas, an 18-hole disc golf course, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits and a shooting range.
