Review & FAQ:

Traverse City State Park is an urban park of forty-eight acres located only two miles from downtown Traverse City. Its quarter-mile of sandy beaches on Grand Traverse Bay draw campers and day-trippers from all over the state and beyond. The park is a convenient location for sunbathing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and metal detecting, and boats are available for rent. The beach has a snack concession and a playground.

The campground is a short walk across a bridge from the beach, and has sites with electrical and water hookup, picnic tables, and fire pits. In the campground there are clean modern bathrooms with hot showers, and wood and ice are available for purchase. Bike and hiking trails run through the park; they are part of the Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) network.
