I have stayed on the isthmus and enjoyed waking at dawn and wading out to catch a few fish on my fly rod. Totally quiet and calm casting as the birds start singing in the morning....pretty hard to beat. There are other amenities like the beach area which is sandy and ideal for little ones. They have rental boats and canoes, playgrounds etc.
Of course not all sites are on the water and those that aren't still are quite nice. The campground was built some years ago by the Wally Byam Airstream owners group and was limited to airstream owners. While the park limits ownership of lots to airstream product owners the lots when not in use are rented as a regular campground. Our lot this time has a separate little area for campfire and is nicely landscaped.
There are new lots that have all the amenities but are somewhat distant from the lake, but they two are nice and of course the campground is so close to everything that Traverse City offers.
