Local Attractions

At Traverse Bay RV Resort, our relaxed lifestyle community provides an excellent get-a-way from all the hustle and bustle. Our climate, which is greatly influenced by the cool Lake Michigan, creates a pleasant summer retreat.

The Grand Traverse area is filled with clear and sparkling lakes and rivers, miles of sandy beaches and scenic vistas along Lake Michigan, quaint marinas and harbor towns. It is truly a water lover’s paradise.

Traverse Bay RV Resort offers the perfect location by being in the heart of everything and since tourism is a large part of our economy you certainly won’t run out of things to do. Whether it is scenic touring, beach lounging, boating, fishing, shopping, exploring, golfing, dining, hiking, biking or gaming, Traverse City has it all.
