We were here for two nights. It’s a great location. Very close to local beaches and restaurants. The host was incredibly responsive and offered local suggestions. The site itself has a nice concrete pad, plenty of room to park our extra vehicle and the site is shaded. Also no problems with slide outs. There is a nice chimney firepit with small enough wood already cut. We would come here again for sure.

Hidden gem!
37 ft Class A
This spot was a pleasant surprise, despite being in a neighborhood it was quiet and private. If you are a rock hound the shoreline within a short walk is fantastic, we found a bunch of Petoskey stones, several agates and a ton of corals. The site is conveniently located between Petoskey and Charlevoix with so much to see and do, Brian was a gracious host that helped us find exactly what we were looking for. We had a great stay!
