Michigan State Parks
They should warn campers of this! We learned of this from other campers. I had to bug bomb all of my stuff before bringing it into the house. Good thing I did. There were many dead roaches in our stuff that would have made it into the house. Very disappointed there were no signs or indications by the park. I will not stay in this park again. Too bad because it is a nice place other than the roaches.
We have been coming to and staying in our motorhome at the Traverse City State Park for several years. Love it up there. People are friendly and the beach and swimming area is A-1. East Bay has a wonderful sandy bottom, no weeds growing, and has a long, very gradual depth increase. Will be on the computer in 12 hours making our reservation for 2011 and hope to get our regular spot. Happy camping to everyone.
We camped there in July of 2010 and the bugs were so bad you could not sit outside.
Will not be going back. We went to Traverse City for Cherry Fest this summer, it was a great time! They have tons of stuff do and it is all a great time. We stayed at the Traverse City State Park and it was wonderful. Very close to downtown, the festival, and the beach is right across the street. The bath houses were cleaned daily, they were not bad- I have seen worse! We will be coming back again, maybe this summer of 2011, but next summer for sure!
As a base camp for wine touring this campground offers the fastest route to breakfast at The Omelette Shop and off to Mission and Leelanau Pennisula wine tours. Found the Mini Cabins to be gems in the somwhat rough camping sites that had bare ground and many pine needles to sneek into the other campers tents. Be aware the campground is alongside the busiest road day and night in Traverse City if traffic noise is bothersome to you. This facility is clean and offers a great experience. We will visit again!
