gelsw Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Staying at this resort and loving it. Beautiful grounds and area, huge lots, next to Little Traverse Bay. Mostly class A's, no shouldering fires all night and I can ***BREATH***. As we drove into town last night Nancy said the area reminds her of an upscale Maine.

gelsw Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Just got back from Charlevoix, had lunch at the Weathervane. Fantastic food and the Michigan Mojito is cherry based. Going back tomorrow with more time and better walking shoes. Cloudless blue sky and 69°, a perfect day. Oh yes, a beautiful 15 minute drive down the coast.

gelsw Report post Posted July 5, 2018 With the fires out west and the heat everywhere we are going back to Michigan this time. Anyone know of similar parks in other areas of Michigan? Plan on seeing a lot more of the whole state and than maybe the Lake Superior loop drive. Need big rig friendly parks.....

gelsw Report post Posted September 13, 2018 Update, the park is not the same as it was a couple years ago. They have put in numerous trailers and even a double wide. Motorcycles roaring around without mufflers ignoring the noise rules and getting away with it. This is no longer a Class A resort. Not a place you may want to bring your half million $ coach. It still has wide lots and plenty of maneuvering room, but don't expect a Class A resort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obedb Report post Posted September 14, 2018 Never been there but I will add it to my list. Cool breezes off of Lake Michigan and perhaps some wind blowing pleasant temps across the UP from Lake Superior. Have read of a nice park around Cedarville on the UP. There are some spots on the water looking at Lake Huron. Maybe some Great Lakes freighters motoring by. 851 feet or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AprilGa1 Report post Posted October 9, 2018 WHAT? We were there September 18th thru the 27th. There was none of that there. Hearthside is world class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 10, 2018 OK! I'll bite. "None of that there". None of what? What's a Hearthside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted October 10, 2018 Hearthside is considered to be the best RV Resort in Michigan if not the country. I have never been there but I understand you can purchase one of the sites and they will rent it out for you when you are not using it. Take a look at their website, hearthsidegrove.com Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 10, 2018 Herman. Nice, but I know of a couple of dozen more, that is equal or better! Never been real impressed with them. Nice to visit for a week, but that's it. Your link don't work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
