Very nice employees at Koa they escort you to your site upon arrival but it’s small campground most wouldn’t need more than a map but nice non the less! I had a deluxe site with a concrete pad and patio set fire ring and two benches to sit on very nice! The site is very small that being said but I fit I am 35 foot with one slide there was some more room to back up farther but I would have had to break out another extension hose for my sewer as it was I had 20 feet of hose out there! Only true complaint about the place was that the gravel was like 2 inches or more low next to patio they need to build that up to be the same height my wife was worried if I hit the tire on that corner I might pop my tire on my camper! I mainly used my camper for my showers but I did go to the bathroom/shower house across from main office and I looked at the showers looked like they cleaned them but do not go there expecting tile from floor to ceiling there is some older tile on the floor with rubber mat but the rest is cinder block walls with shower curtains for privacy! Not dirty but not awesome. That being said I would give it 4.2 stars no way is it 5 stars but it also isn’t bad prices and the area is awesome around there!

Politics does not belong in a campground including political flags or signs. Campers need to be told about campground etiquette. You do not cut through other campers spots. Campers come to relax and enjoy area. No one should be telling them how to believe or judge them.

TC KOA is clean and site #69 was amazing! The check-in was fast and easy. The staff is friendly and helpful. It rained but we had a great time riding bikes and walking around the campgrounds. We felt safe and very comfortable. We will return for future camping trips. Thank you TC KOA!

Great site, #9, near the road but you do not hear the traffic after one night. Wonderful clean park with excellent staff even when you ask silly questions. Just a 20 minute drive into Traverse City if you really need to see a city. And the pie shop. Just a bucket load of shade with all the trees around the park. Silver Maple???? Anyhow, even if you are a grump and sit inside all day there are too many TV channel to count. everything for anyone who camps. And reasonable. The only thing that was bad was the price of gas but we can't blame that on TCKOA. This was our first time at this one but not our last. Did i mention the delightful pool?

We had a Partial shaded site but some looked very shaded. Good Digital cable Chanels. Poor internet. Pool stayed heated but it was very crowded so we didn’t try it. Very long pull through sites. Did not use bath house or laundry. Got propane when leaving and was very shocked at the highway robbery price since gas is so low here. It was $4.99 /gal +tax. 14.6 gal was $77.22 or $5.29/gal including tax.

This campground is fantastic, especially for families. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The check-in process was smooth and simple. The store was tidy, clean, and had super cute apparel. The campground itself had 2 jumping pillows, a playground, gaga ball, volleyball, a pool, a small train ride, a mining station (costs extra), a mini golf area (costs extra), and an RC car area (available for rent or you can bring your own. The campground itself has beautiful trees that provide a large amount of shade. The shower house were extremely clean. The campground has someone driving around to pick up trash regularly too. I would highly reccomend this campground. This is the best campground we have been to yet and we will definitely be back!

This campground is beautiful. Very clean and kept up nicely. Not sure how anyone could call this place loud, we have been here all week and after 10pm it's very quiet. Close to Traverse City, yet far enough to not feel crowded. Pool is nice, as is playground. Would definitely come back next time we plan to come to Traverse City.

This park is loud, people playing music lots of yelling , people walking through your camp to get around with no regard to privacy. The park is clean and the staff are friendly. I do not recommend this park

This campground has an exceptionally friendly staff, very clean park with very nice amenities, and spot on Wi-Fi. Highly recommended. Very close to the dunes Park, the Lakeshore, Traverse City, winery tour. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
