The worst part, was the door was broken upon arrival. Our toddler FELL out of the door three times from the top step all the way down three tall steps to the ground of a fifth wheel camper. Unacceptable! We let them know immediately and they could fix it for 3 days into our stay! Then, it broke 5 hours later... and no latch for the remainder of trip. They were rude. They were liars. We will never rent from them again! Keep in mind; renters beware! They won't refund you a dime even though it's all their fault.

We called the front office to let them know we wouldn't be checking in till 7pm. We took care of payment over the phone a d they left a map on their front bulletin board for us to follow to our spot. We were on site 61. The first thing I noticed is how stunning the Surrounding scenery is! The trees are beautiful in a October. The sites themselves are spread out. You don't feel like you're on top of each other. Every morning it felt so much earlier than it was...This place is super quiet! Maybe it would be different in the summer but fall is definitely peaceful. Everyone was super friendly. We were out most of the day and didn't hang at the campground much which leads me into my next point... there isn't much to do here (not a bad thing!). I'm so happy this trip was just for my husband and I because my kids would be bored to death. There is no pool (was too cold to use it even if there was) and no park. I am totally ok with these things but it would be great to know if we did bring the littles. However, this campground is near everything! All in all, we paid around $300 (five or take) for our trip here. Definitely worth it and we can't wait to come back!

I recently stayed at this campground and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience -- not…read moreonly with the conditions of the site, but with the rude and condescending response I received when I reached out about a legitimate health concern. During our trip up north, this was the only place where my asthma was triggered. We spent four days in other areas affected by the Canadian wildfires without any issues whatsoever. The morning after arriving here, my asthma became severely aggravated, and we were forced to leave early. The stagnant pond next to our campsite was covered in scum, clearly releasing mold and spores into the air. This was the only environmental change during our trip, and the only place where my breathing became compromised -- making it obvious that the pond conditions, not wildfire smoke, caused the reaction. When I emailed to cancel the remainder of our reservation and requested a refund, I would have fully understood if the campground simply reiterated their no‑refund policy. However, the response I received was unnecessarily dismissive and patronizing. I was told, in a condescending tone, that "algae is not associated with asthma," followed by an incorrect assumption that wildfire smoke was the cause -- despite the fact that we had been in wildfire‑affected areas for days with zero symptoms. A polite explanation of policy would have been acceptable. The attitude was not. The man taking reservations was rude from the first phone conversation and I was reluctant to make a reservation, but was unable to find a campsite in the area that had a GUARANTEED SITE, not first come first serve. Customer service matters, especially when guests are dealing with health issues. Instead of listening, acknowledging the concern, or even responding neutrally, the staff chose to be dismissive and incorrect about the situation. That alone ensures we will not be returning. This is the EMAIL- so no speculation on my interpretation of the response from the resort. Please cancel our reservation for today, Saturday July 18th. The pond scum severely bothered my asthma, and we were forced to leave early this morning. Please add payment charge back to my credit card. Thanks Wendi ----------------/------------------//----------- Good morning, Thank you for reaching out. Per our policy, we are unable to issue refunds for guests who choose to end their reservation early. Additionally, algae is not associated with asthma or other respiratory conditions. I sincerely apologize that the smoke from the Canadian wildfires affected your visit and caused you to shorten your stay. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better conditions in the future. Kind regards, Alycia On Sat, Jul 18, 2026 at 7:17AM Wendi

I was greeted with a full 2 pages of rules and regulations. It was stressed quiet time was 10 pm. I mentioned that I was at the resort to meet some high school friends from the class of 72 Royal Oak. I was told only 6 people were allowed per site, that included my wife and I. In other words 4 guests per site. I told her I would have 6 guests. And it was not received well. This would only be for 3 hours in the afternoon. She told me each guest had to check in to the office, that was complied with. The first 2 couples were allowed in. Another guest was by herself and came a little later. Instead of allowing her to go to the site and drop off her things, they made her park in the lot across from the office. I was quite upset to see my 71 year old classmate carrying 2 chairs and a cooler about 5 hundred yards to our site. Our site driveway could easily handle 4 vehicles ( we did not have a car only our motorcoach) but no way was that allowed. 4 sites on one side and 2 sites on the other side were vacant and I know why. If I had a choice between Traverse Bay Resort and a Walmart parking lot, I would pick the parking lot even for the $130 a night charge. Even though the $10 per guest charge was waived I left very disappointed.

Checking in was a breeze and out spot was overlooking a fountain and a pond. Also included is an outdoor fireplace and a large patio where you can sit and watch the sunset.

I felt like I've known her forever. She felt absolutely bad when the rustic cabins were not what we expected as a family. I asked for an upgrade to the nice king condos. She found one open for us to stay. We loved the place so much. It had a fully stocked kitchen. Full size fridge/ stove,and a microwave. A set of adorable bunk beds,then a queen size room. It was just super cozy and clean! Had a nice deck with chairs and even a ceiling fan outside. They had a fire pit and a nice 8 person table and chairs near the fire pit. Maria even let us borrow a golf cart for free for the week. What fun! I took a ride everyday. Alicia was so sweet to do a potoskey stone class for us ,and a tie dye class , even though they were not scheduled. She arranged for boo- boo bear came out to join my husband and girls on the ' Hey, hey" ride. ( it's a tractor pulling a wagon) and he drives around the campground and give the campers a ' Hey hey" So fun and creative! We absolutely had a wonderful week there at potoskey jellystone resort . We hadn't been camping for 3 years. Thank you Maria and Alicia for your love,and kindness you shown us. I hope to be back in fall. Sincerely, the Lindens ​​​​ Stayed June 21st - 26th 2026
