Holiday Travel Park - Traverse City

I have made mention that my favorite private park in Michigan is located on Silver Lake just south of Traverse city, Michigan. It has about two hundred sites of which 70 or so are absolutely beautiful. It is very well kept and has on some sites really unique features like the 10 or so sites on the "isthmus" 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.

NEW POST !!!!!

I have to apologize for the lack of posts, but two problems .....we've been very much homebody's and on our trip to the Magnolia Music Fest to see Lonestar we got caught quite literally in a tornado in Ohio which damaged our DATASTORM Link to the Internet. M ostly though we have been busy. Our Datastorm should be repaired in the next few days and we are starting to travel again. We are now at our favorite Michigan Campground......Holiday Park in Traverse City on Silver Lake. It's an old "Wally Byam" Airstream exclusive campground, except not exclusively Airstream anymore. Were going to be here through the weekend visiting friends seeing the sights. We'll get camera going tomorrow and show you whats up.
