This campground offers a scenic, family-friendly environment with extensive amenities and activities, but guests should be prepared for crowded conditions, separate bathhouse fees, and steep site access. Communication issues with the front desk and specific logistical complaints regarding units and pricing were noted.
Flannel and lumberjack event was terrible. VIP experience was a bust IMHO. I got a couple extra drink tickets, a lame tent, and a bathroom. I also got to be in there an hour early. I would have just gotten general admission and paid the extra bucks if I wanted the drinks. But I didn't cause there was only 3 breweries, 1 cider, and 2 distilleries. One of which didn't set up till 2 hours into the event. 100 a person then another 10 to park? What a slap in the face. Was really looking forward to this, to then see such an empty venue was very frustrating.
We chose this place for a girls weekend but we aren't campers, so wanted to rent a park model. The website doesn't let you view the details of the unit you want to rent. They assign the unit to you based on the category you choose. If you try to call you leave a message which results in phone tag. We chose one that sleeps 5-7 people for $240/night but we were so thankful that only 2 of us ended up being able to come. 4 would not have been able to sit on the couch, or fit at the dining table. The two of us weren't very comfortable. The mattresses in the loft were ok, but getting bags up the steep steps was a challenge, and for the price we wouldn't choose this again.
Good location, just a few minutes from Traverse City. Real stickers about check in time. We wanted to check in an hour early, but they said no, but for a fee, we could. Then, when we arrived, we were asked to go to our site and check in later because they were too busy. The sites are big enough, our fire pit was about 8 feet from site edge, so not roomy. The sites are dirt, with gravel drives. Kept the vacuum busy. We had a little rain, so as expected, it stuck to your shoes. Lots to do for the kids. 2nd year for us to enjoy the Halloween celebration. A number of craft activities and an Excellent Haunted House! Trick or treating thru the park. Bike trails RC car park Walking Close to trails Cornhole. 2 main bath houses serve the park, You must PAY to shower. Good security Feel safe for the kids to go to playground. We will return.
Stayed here for a long weekend with family. Overall the park itself is beautiful and well maintained, I enjoyed all the art installations through out. As a young couple, no kids and a dog we typically stay at state parks. We picked this park for our nieces (they loved it) with all the actives provided, but was also looking forward to more of a luxury experience for the adults too! However, part of my luxury experience is a hot shower after a long day. You have to pay for hot water in the bathhouse (which is fine), but it only ever gets luke-warm. Katie at the front desk was super kind and helpful with my concerns, and did offer the suggestion to run the sink first, which did help, but wasn’t HOT! Also, pretty annoying that you always get the answering machine when you call the park (even during hours of operation.) Having access to washer/dryer and the campground store was super convenient! It was hard to plan ahead with what to expect for the Halloween weekend, as the schedule didn’t come out till the week before, and things were missing off the schedule. The adult Haunted House was better than expected! Overall, very cool park, Katie was helpful, but for the price per night things could be more organized as a whole to truly be considered luxury!
Large campground with full service and nice facilities. There are playgrounds for the kids and a man made small square lake with beach all around. We had a full hookup site. It is 25 minutes to the bike trail in Traverse.
The best campground around! We had a few concerns during our stay that were promptly addressed. My kids love the amenities although wish they had more activities during the week! We are return cabin campers and will continue to be ? thanks for having a great place for continuing memories
I've been to a lot of different campgrounds here in Michigan. By far this was the cleanest, most friendly staff, and the amount of amenities they had for the kids to do through out the week was beyond my expectation. Mari at the front desk was super kind and went way past what most would do to assist us with anything we needed. Ella was great also with helping us out with a small communication error also. I would 100% come back and stay here and recommend anyone else looking to do so also!!
