This is a beautiful campground with lots of shade and great fellow campers. Walking distance from the school and concerts. The only drawback is the lake. Horrible Swimmers Itch. Stay out. Take the time to drive into Traverse City and go to a city beach. Well worth your time. And actually, the nicest bathrooms I have ever seen in a campground. Great nature program for the kids too! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We visited mid-week and luckily had no neighbors on either side so it made our site #349 feel much more roomy and quiet; we have a 30 ft class A. We liked the shade in this site and we found a fairly level spot in it. We needed to use our 30 amp extension cord since the electric hook-up for our site was on the "wrong" side. The sites close to the water were extremely crowded and noisy but had decent water access. Price isn't too bad for a Michigan state park (not counting the additional motor vehicle permit fees of $29 for MH and $29 for toad). Bathhouses were not close to us so we did not use them. Dump is easy to access and has fresh potable water that you can reach while dumping your tanks. Easy day trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Surprised there are no reviews of this very popular park yet. Interlochen is about 15 miles SW of Traverse City and less then 20 miles east of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Very centrally located to lots of outdoor fun and small towns with great shopping. The park itself is very wooded with many large sites. We prefer the south loop. There are many sites right on the lake with great views (most really don't have a beach, there is a drop). Most sites are level but be aware there are some that aren't and more for tents. 3 of the 4 shower/bathroom facilities have been remodeled in recent years to the new state park standard but the farthest south has not and is the "old" style. Still was fairly clean, considering a very busy 4th weekend and the water always hot. Was pleased with how quiet it was at night outside a few people here and there on a holiday weekend. DNR patrols at least once an hour. There is a small camp store on site where you can get ice and wood but you can easily get this stuff much cheaper at a gas station just a couple miles away. There are playgrounds in each loop as well as a ball field. Small beach near the camp store on the lake and you can rent boats and canoes. There are also 2 rustic (no hookups) loops about a half mile south of the main campground with lots of sites on a lake. We will be back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
