et2...tell us more about Traverse City and Petoskey. Destination for this summer's trip
These two places are some of the best to visit in Michigan. Extremely popular and beautiful. Many things to do and are on the water. Casino available in both areas. Suttons bay and Fish Town are a half day visit in the Traverse area and must see's. Wineries and tours if you're into that. There's over 50 wineries in Traverse area. Lots of water front area , shops, cool restaurants. We stay a whole month and still haven't seen it all. Traverse Bay RV resort is the nicest in the area and most expensive. It's the best RV park "we've " stayed at. Cherry festival over the 4th of July ( extremely busy) and movie festival later in the summer in Traverse city.
Up the road on the way to Petoskey ( Petoskey is. 1 hr away) following the shoreline is Charlevoix and is a cool little harbor town, worth stopping for a couple hours on your way to Petoskey. Petoskey has a lot to offer too, shopping, restaurants and Casino. There's a few campgrounds in the area. I usually avoid the KOA as its crazy. Visit Harbor Springs just around the bay from Petoskey. Great place. Eat lunch at the marina in Harbor Springs. Also there is a polish restaurant out in the middle of nowhere and made with stone and logs right on the water. It's just outside of harbor springs, called legs inn I think.
You won't regret it at all.
