    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Petoskey KOA houses luxury glamping accommodations including yurts and premium canvas tents with full amenities just 30 minutes from Wolverine, Michigan. These upscale accommodations feature comfortable beds with linens, climate control systems, and private outdoor spaces with fire rings. Tiki RV Park & Campground offers newly constructed yurts named after Hawaiian islands, providing a boutique camping experience with electricity and indoor lighting. One guest shared, "We decided to splurge on a yurt for our first camping trip of the summer. Well worth it! We stayed in 'Kai' one of the newest yurts. Complete with electricity, indoor and outdoor string lights, two deck chairs, a heater, a queen sized bed, and an electric kettle with pour over coffee supplies, it was truly a treat!" Both locations maintain eco-friendly practices while delivering upscale accommodations that blend natural surroundings with modern comforts.

    The Little Traverse Wheelway bike path runs directly past Magnus Park's glamping sites, connecting visitors to Petoskey's downtown restaurants and shopping within a mile's walk. Chandler Hill Campground in Boyne Falls features yurts with access to hiking trails and seasonal activities like stargazing events during summer months. A visitor noted, "The yurt is at the end of what we came to call 'the yurt village'. The site is still a diamond in the rough with cut downed wood and sawdust scattered about, and the ground is uneven. With time, though, it will probably turn out beautifully!" Mackinaw City's luxury camping options provide easy access to Mackinac Island ferries, with some properties offering shuttle service to the docks. Most glamping campgrounds near Wolverine operate from May through October, with peak season rates ranging from $99-150 per night depending on amenities and proximity to water views.

      Mackinaw City / Mackinac Island KOA

      Great park near Mackinac Island ferries

      Our site was $99.89 night.

      We were in Site# 98. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
      We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level.

      Our site was not shaded with limited trees (many were shaded though). This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

      This lot (a premium lot) comes with a concrete patio with a round table with four chairs, two Adirondack chairs and a fire pit and a charcoal box grill.

      It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(approximately 1 mile from highway).

      There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

      There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.
      They sell wood for $7 a bundle.

      They pickup your garbage at your site daily.

      You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent regular bicycles and e-bikes. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

      They do have a Swimming pool. There is a Playground. They also offer Gaga ball,horseshoe, and corn hole. There is a Reading lending library and board games to borrow.

      They have a great general store. There is an electric car charging station. They sell propane.

      There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

      The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes.

      There are great places to ride bikes outside of campground. From the campground, there is a nature trail that you can take your bike that leads you to the. North Western State Trail.

      They have cabins for rent and tent areas.

      They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers. Toilets with sinks are in a shared bathroom. These are kept very clean.

      There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. There are approximately 5 washers and 5 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry a load.

      They have a fenced in dog park.

      Bugs (mosquitoes/flies)did not seem to be an issue.

      There were trails to hike off of the campground.

      Some fun things to do outside of the campground are go to the beach (1 mile away); visit Mackinac Island (both major ferries will transport you for free - this KOA provides you information for Shepler’s Ferry). Both ferries offer packages that include horse drawn carriage rides, Fort Mackinac admission, Island Hotel Admission, Butterfly House admission, Mystery Town admission, and Parking options). There is a Jack Pine Lumberjack show.

      Tiki RV Park & Campground

      The yurt is worth the splurge!

      We decided to splurge on a yurt for our first camping trip of the summer. Well worth it! We stayed in"Kai" one of the newest yurts. It's at the end of what we came to call"the yurt village". Complete with electricity, indoor and outdoor string lights, two deck chairs, a heater, a queen sized bed, and an electric kettle with pour over coffee supplies, it was truly a treat! The bathroom and shower building is about.1 miles each way according to my fitness tracker, but it's doable. Downside: the firepit is small(about the size of a small charcoal grill) and shallow, so it's not really suitable for cooking. Bring a propane stove or some no-cook foods, or go enjoy some of the area restaurants! The site is still a diamond in the rough with cut downed wood and sawdust scattered about, and the ground is uneven. With time, though, it will probably turn out beautifully! We were there for three weeknights and rarely even heard other campers. A quiet and peaceful retreat.

      Black Lake State Forest Upper ORV Campground

      Terrible camping experience

      I just saw a review from another camper who experienced the same as me; generators everywhere, no peace and quiet, no rangers to tell people to turn down their music, no one to police the crazy orv drivers who treated the 10 mph roads as race tracks.  Do not go here if you're looking for a nice time.  This campground is horrible, loud, dirty, and not managed.  It’s full of drunk yahoos who use it as a cheap place to stay in northern Michigan.

      Mackinaw City / Mackinac Island KOA

      Great Campground in a beautiful place

      This campground is located just out of town in Mackinaw City, MI. The location of the campground is within 5 minutes of downtown Mackinaw, within 1-2 miles of a beach and about 10-15 minute drive of St. Ignace. The campground pretty small and quiet. We camped in a small back in site with water and electric hook-ups. There is one bathroom and shower facility but it looks like they are building another. The bathroom was clean and constantly maintained. The staff was friendly, and helpful. They offer trash pick up each morning and ice delivery. There is a small campground store with some basic essentials. There is some construction going on, but we haven’t heard any equipment and the area is fenced off with a privacy fence so we haven’t seen the construction either. Overall this campground is very nice.

      Camp Petosega

      Great Find!

      This park is operated by Emmet County and offers a very remote feel yet it is only 15-20 minutes from Petoskey, Michigan. Camp Pet-O-Se-Ga sits on the 1,080 acre Pickerel Lake and has 90 campsites which offer electricity and water and five of which are pull-through sites with sewer hook-up. There are also rental cabins, playgrounds, a recreation hall and pavilion, a canoe/kayak launch, basketball court, hiking trails, beach area, restrooms/shower house, and it has various events like pancake breakfasts throughout the year.

      You really get a feel of remote peacefulness here but have the luxury of pretty modern facilities. As we drove to the park we got the feel that we were in the middle of nowhere but realized from downtown Petoskey it was only a 15-20 minute drive. The 300-acre park dates back to the 1930’s and started as a boys camp where young men learned various skills like archery, shooting, tennis, orienteering, camping, and aviation. Emmet County purchased the property in 1992 and added modern facilities and opened it to the public.

      The grounds and sites were very well maintained. We were thoroughly impressed with how clean and cared for everything was. Despite having lots of green space and open fields for lawn games it was all mowed and not overgrown. There was no trash at the sites and fire pits were clean and picnic tables were in great shape. The roads throughout the park are paved.  Sites were a mix of gravel and paved but all ADA accessible sites and pull through sites were paved. The restrooms were very clean and seemed large enough to handle the volume of campers. Showers are in individual rooms across from the restrooms and were also clean.

      You can reserve a site by filling out a reservation request online or calling. There is a two night minimum. The price was $22/night for Emmet County residents, $25/night for non-county residents, and $30/night for a full hook-up pull-thru. There is also a $10 reservation fee. Sites vary among 30 and 50 amp so be sure you reserve one that fits your needs. There are also some sections that are RV only. 

      The canoe/boat launch has a floating dock that extends into the lake that makes for easy access. Fishing is popular in the lake with game species like largemouth bass, walleye, pike and trout being favorite target species.

      Wilderness State Park Camping

      Windswept beaches and towering pines.

      It doesn't get prettier than Wilderness SP. New sites are full hook-up; others are electric only. Cold water on these beaches - bring a warm blanket to wrap up in if you plan to go swimming. Beaches are not dog-friendly (as is the case throughout Michigan, although dog beaches are starting to make headway). There is a dark sky park nearby - don't bother. It gets plenty dark here, and star-gazing is phenomenal. Close to Mackinac City and ferry to the island; close to Big Mack Bridge.

      Wilderness State Park Camping

      Beautiful Backcountry with Easy Access

      My dad and I backpacked around Wilderness State Park and loved it! It was his first time doing actual backpacking, but the trails around this park weren't too difficult for him. The first night we spent at the campground, which was only a couple miles in and close enough to a store that my dad went back and bought a 6-pack haha. There were RVs and pop-up campers, so my little makeshift tent received some strange looks.

      The next day we packed up and hiked about 4 miles to a rustic campsite near Lawrence Lake. The trail that day had been flooded a bit and we had to walk, ankle deep, in some mud. There was only one spot for camping, so we were lucky to have it to ourselves. It was a beautiful place on an islet with incredible views of the lake and surrounding forest. There was a makeshift toilet there and fire pit, but that was about it.

      The next morning we hiked out, which went up the "mountain" (a small hill really haha) and had nice views of the area. We hiked past the Nebo Cabin, which looked very nice. It seems like you could drive up to it without a problem and could accomadate a larger family.

      Roberts Landing Campground

      Feels neglected

      We looked forward to our stay at this campground so close to Mackinaw City. We arrived just before 5 pm behind another camper. Walter was having difficulty handling both of our check-ins: he couldn’t find the other camper’s reservation (apparently not a one-off) and then his computer kept freezing while processing ours. The process to get both of us checked in took almost 30 minutes. 

      The advertised group gathering gazebo seemed to have been taken over by the office; I saw no other covered gazebo. And the fire pit was horrible! It spewed toxic smoke the entire time we were checking in (I had to keep stepping outside). As Becky’s review mentioned, there was junk surrounding the “office” and close by area. 

      The RV sites did not have any separation/privacy between them. We had reserved a water/electric site but in the end, chose one of the tent sites that faced the lake. We didn’t even see a number indicating what site it was– it was mostly a large grassy area. 

      The mosquitos were horrible (I realize this is not the fault of the campground although the grass was a bit tall). 

      Although I’ve seen worse, the restrooms were just passable. The floor was wet. At least there was soap and paper towels. Did not use the shower so cannot comment on that.

      The best part of this campground is the view of Lake Huron. As advertised, there is a (far-off) view of the Mackinaw Bridge from the beach, but you have to look through the wall of mosquitoes. 

      It’s my understanding this is a city-run campground and if that is correct, we expected better. In order for me to give this more than two stars, it would have to:

      • cost less ($50 was way too much money to pay for this campground),

      • have a more efficient check-in system, and

      • be cleaned up of all the junk lying around. 

      If we would not have lost all our money, we would have ditched and looked elsewhere. We didn’t even cook in our van, opting instead to eat in town. We were up and out early the next morning.


    Guide to Wolverine

    Wolverine, Michigan sits at the northern edge of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, surrounded by dense forests and freshwater lakes within the Cheboygan County region. Located about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, the area features numerous rustic campgrounds connected by the North Central State Trail. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from November through March, with summer camping season running May through October when temperatures average 70-80°F during the day.

    What to Do

    Hiking at Haakwood State Forest: This rustic campground sits alongside the Sturgeon River just minutes from Wolverine. "Right on the sturgeon river you get away from the main camps of Burt lake and mullet lake. An easy drive to wolverine and a couple hour float back to camp or drive to Indian River and go to the lakes," notes reviewer Chris M. at Haakwood State Forest Campground.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: The forests near Wolverine offer chances to spot native wildlife. "This campground has so much to offer... you're right by Michigan's only area to view free roaming wild elk! We went and tried, but unfortunately didn't see any elk. I think it was mostly due to my 7 and 10 year old talking too much, and being too loud, but we're just glad they enjoy the hike!" shares Ryan L T.

    Cycling on the North Central Trail: The paved trail system connects multiple campgrounds. "This campground is right on the north central bike path and I came to this here for that easy access. However, it is right next to the road and there is a lot of road noise during the day and early evening. It did quiet down overnight," explains David C.

    What Campers Like

    Spacious waterfront sites: Many campgrounds near Wolverine offer lakefront camping options. "Easy to find. Lots were easy to back into. Lot sizes are huge! Nearly every lot down the hill (west loop) has a nice view of the lake. Some lots are a little off to themselves in a corner, if you want more privacy or peace and quiet," writes Kerry P. about Burt Lake State Park Campground.

    Rustic camping with privacy: The state forest campgrounds provide more secluded options. "Rustic campground. Most sites are private. Some premium spots back up to river. Stars are amazing," reports Joie V. from Haakwood State Forest Campground.

    Fall camping experiences: The area transforms during autumn. "Fall camping here is the best. So quiet, and so dark you can see all the stars! Elk were bugling and it was wild!!!" exclaims Colleen F. about Elkwood Campground.

    What You Should Know

    Beach conditions vary: Lake access points differ significantly between campgrounds. "The lake is beautiful! If you have a boat, travel through the channel to Mullet Lake. Great location. Park store is nice, or grocery store is 1 mile away. Horrible phone service...but, maybe that's a good thing ;)" mentions Brenda M. at Burt Lake State Park.

    Rustic camping means basic amenities: Many state forest campgrounds offer limited services. "Rustic campground. It has the basics like a hand pump for water, pit toilets and a dumpster. Site 12 had a spot for my hammock. Watch out for poison ivy," advises Hatcher from Haakwood State Forest.

    Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds have limited seasons. "Onaway SP is a quiet little park with electric pedestal at each sight. Sanitation/dump station has water to fill your fresh water tank for your visit. Beautiful colors and within 10 miles of Ocqueoc Falls and 24 miles to Lake Huron. Water is shut off Oct 10 for season," shares Kristy W. about Onaway State Park Campground.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Swimming opportunities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated beach areas. "Camp site was HUGE! I believe ours was like 40x65! Electric hookup. Pet friendly park and beach area... If you like the beach, you'll easily get out in the water over 100 yards and still be safe (roughly 3feet or so). Bring your kayaks too," recommends Myron M. about Burt Lake State Park.

    Organized activities: Some parks offer programming for children. "We've camped here for two years in a row and we LOVE it! Everyone is so friendly. Camp sites are nicely spread out and our 4 kids have a ball. They just updated their playground area as well!" shares Holly K. about Chandler Hill Campground.

    Nearby attractions: Consider glamping close to Wolverine, Michigan for easier access to regional attractions. "The KOA campground is close to Petoskey, but outside town enough to be a bit quiet. A short drive to breweries, wineries, and dinner. There are amenities that would be good for a family and also big enough for a peaceful weekend for couples," states Cody S. about Petoskey KOA.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection guidance: Research specific sites before booking. "Pretty nice campground. The sites vary is size - some are close together. We stayed at site 145 which was large but there is a path to the beach right next to it so it's not very private. The park store was closed Labor Day weekend. There is a vending machine for firewood at the entrance," advises Don B. from Burt Lake State Park.

    Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven sites. "Sites not paved and entrance roads not paved!!!" notes Neil from Gaylord KOA, while Ray & Terri F. add: "Our site had a fair bit of slope side to side, which I mentioned to the person that led us to our site. He said they'd look into it."

    Water and hookup access: Facilities vary widely between rustic and full-service campgrounds. "The lot lines are strange, they run on an angle. Bring extension cords for the electric service," suggests Brenda M. while another reviewer notes that at Onaway State Park, "lower campsites by beach are in full sun some have trees blocking your view 2 and 3rd and 4th road are wooded."
