Nice KoA

25 min south of Traverse city. Nice sites, some have patios and chairs with bonfires. Nice pool and friendly staff! Lots of kids though as they have a massive kids playground.

Nice park

Very nice campground with lots for the kids to do... jumping pillow, jumping pad, pool, etc... We were off site exploring the area which had lots of nice places to eat and the marina was nice as well. This was one stop of several on our vacation. The camp ground offered a lot but on this trip we used this one more as a home base for the few days we visited.

Great family campground!!

This KOA is just south of Traverse City and very centrally located to all that makes this area so awesome! Wineries, Sleep Bear Dunes, golf courses, and of course downtown Traverse City. This campground is very well laid out and easy to maneuver any size rig. The front part of the campground is very well shaded, however, many sites are only a few feet away from M37, which can get noisy from the traffic. The back half of the campground is a little more open, but most sites are still partially shaded. The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Fire wood and ice are available and they will deliver right to your site. As the caption says, great family campground. If you have kids, this is the place for you! With that being said, here is why I gave a four star rating.....we were asked promptly at 10pm to turn our music off, which wasn’t loud at all. Beyond our campsite it could not be heard at all. They have what they call a strict 10pm-8am quiet hours. At 7am there were at least 8-10 kids riding bikes and scooters all over the campground and nothing was said. I appreciate a them having policies and creating a place for families to make memories, but please enforce those policies for everyone. Oh, and one last thing....they are very pet friendly! I have never seen a campground with so many dogs! Ours had a blast!

Lovely!

Long, level, pull through. A lot of wonderful things to say - but you'll have to see for yourself! Kids love it here!

Just outside the city

Tents, RVs, and Cabins! Camper’s choice! This place is the perfect spot to camp to get away yet stay close to Home (if you live nearby!). Its great for a traveler as well. There is plenty to do, there is a playground, WiFi, a pool, mini golf, bike rentals, and more!

Traverse City KOA

This is your typical KOA campground. Sites are close together with not a lot of trees. Activities for the kids are numerous and they really enjoyed the large jumping pillow. Cable hooked into the RV didn't work. Park is named Traverse City KOA but it is actually a half hour south the Traverse City so I would choose a different campground if you plan regular activities in Traverse City.
