Traverse Bay RV Resort just north of Traverse City (TC) near Acme on M-72 is very nice. The resort is easy to get to and is only about 5 miles from downtown TC. Close to golf, shopping, beaches, sight-seeing, and good places to eat. The staff is great and the amenities are many.
Petoskey is a very nice area but is along drive from TC. A drive that gets even longer in the summer traffic.
Any trip to TC should include a trip around Leelanau County which is just west of TC. Visits to Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport, and Empire are well worth the to adventure to see. Drive north on M-22 from TC around the county and end at Empire. Don't forget to stop at the light house at the end of the Leelanau peninsula. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a must see and no trip is complete without a stop at Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor and a visit to Fishtown in Leland.
The M-22 trip in mid-October displays fall color as outstanding as any place in the U.S.
