I recently visit Timber Ridge for the Iceman event and it went perfectly! Was very well organized and the facility was clean. 👍
Just had my wedding here. Almost everyone who came stayed at the campground. I heard nothing but great things the whole weekend. I wish some of us had been able to be a bit closer but it all worked out in the end. The hall was amazing and beautiful, the cabin that we stayed it was amazing as well. If i could have taken it home with me i would have totally lived in it. The staff was great, Brian who works the front desk kept me calm with all the questions I had. He also was great with my nephews, I think we talked his ear off.
The only thing that we had an issue with was a cleaning lady who kept telling us that she had complaints about our group that was there. She said we were super loud Saturday night and that people were complaining. She acted like she owned the place, our group wasn't loud. It was avout her group they had there, even our neighbors said ur definitely wasn't us. I would steer clear of this cleaning lady.
Location was a short drive to downtown Travis City. The campground was nicely filled with lots of trees and the streets were paved. The rental house was very nice. The exterior was updated and the interior was very nice as well. Great place to stay!
What a great family campground in a beautiful area full of site options, things to do, and places to explore. So clean and well taken care of. Just a short distance to town makes this a super location.
My wife and I loved this campground, the sites, the atmosphere, everyone was having fun but being respectful of each other. Very pet and family friendly. I loved the happy hour fire truck, #1 in Traverse City
TRIP #2 UPDATE
We went back for labor day! And the experience was even better than the last, the campground was fun and hopping and got quite as a mouse later into the evening, I have honestly never been to a more respectful campground in my life. My wife and I don't have kids yet but when we do we shall certainly come back with them. There are soooooooo many things for them to do. If your kid is bored here then they themselves are boring. Our friends came for their second time and likewise enjoyed every single minute. One of the best parts was playing dodgeball with adults at night, makes you feel like a kid again. Michigan's #1!
1 star for the potential of the place. A lot of fun opportunities for kids. (Which you will pay extra for) Unfortunately we had a bad experience that could've been avoided if given a more appropriate site for our RV and given good customer service. We paid $60 for a very poor site layout on very uneven gravel and sand. Hookups were 30+ feet apart so our 20 ft cable couldn't reach the hookup. (And cable is $10 extra which is ridiculous) Sewer hose was fully extended and running uphill. Patio concrete slab couldn't be used because of where we had to park to make hookups. The area that became our patio area was a rugged slope that became a stream bed when it rained hard that evening.
There were many open sites that would have been better, but their office closed at 6pm so we couldn't change sites. I left a voicemail but didn't get a reply.
They also didn't mention all laundry facilities were out of order when we checked in. It was something we really needed after being on the road for a week. This is an amenity you pay for and expect to be working at a place like this.
I happened to run into a worker as we were packing up to leave the next day. I approached him to let him know my concerns, and quickly realized this was apparently all my fault. He starts to tell me how this wasn't an appropriate site for my vehicle. (Like I had a choice) And he goes on to tell me about how his hookups are extra long and could handle this site. He treated me rudely, never introduced himself or apologized. His response was "Hope you have a better day." (Attitude included)
Additionally, the bathrooms/showers were not very nice. Moldy, mildew ridden and not clean. For $60 you could be staying at a luxury motor coach property. Avoid this place if you value your hard-worked dollar and proper respect.
Amazing place. Very friendly. There is alot to do. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
Nice option to the crowded state park. This campground is large enough for more roomy sites and plenty of hiking/ biking on the VASA trail. Close to town but still has an up north feel.
We love staying at this campground! So many activities for our children and the staff is amazing. I noticed this year that they have continued to make more improvements to the facility and things just keep getting better. My only complaint is that our campsite was covered in leaves and not just a few but enough to cover your ankles in some spots. And it wasn't just at our site, it was like this all over. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will be back. Oh, did I mention dodgeball! It's awesome and my kids love it!
It's a nice clean park. There are no bodies of water in its property line, but Grand Traverse Bay is 5-10 min away. Staff was readily available and helpful. Many options for overnight accommodations including yurts, cabins, deluxe cabins, tent sites, pull through sites, and such. Full hookup sites available. Minutes from ATV trails, hiking, biking, and the Bay.
Stayed in both the cottages and on camp sites. Cottages are beautiful and have access to all amenities. Many camp sites have power, sewer, water connection and cable hookups. Most if not all sites are pull through sites which make it easy to park your trailer. The staff is friendly and helpful, I already recommend this park to anyone camping near Traverse City. One tip, bring quarters for the showers there are no change machines and it only accepts quarters.
