This place is gorgeous! A must see for anyone, in or out of State. A truly 1 of a kind place, & if you know, you know. If not, you'll have to FAFO so to say. 🤣 Northern Michigan has many treasures, but Petoskey has the Petoskey Stone. You have to visit to get 1, because you can only get them here.

Great experience here! Less populated, slightly quieter than West Michigan beaches.. but amazing views looking straight at the Little Traverse Bay! The water is shallower and very blue. Easy to swim due to the protection of the bay. Snack bar and restrooms very clean and the parking was easy. Will 100% be back!

Great beach! You can park in the parking lot and literally take your shoes off at your car and walk straight into the sand! Can get busy. But we have visited here last year on a day it wasn’t easy at all. Clean restrooms and showers as well as outdoor showers, volley balls court, and bike rack. Lots of beach shoreline to walk and walking trails in the dunes in the trees. Lots of parking and easy in and out access. Great place to watch the sunset. And swimming beach. Find soft touching rocks.

Even though I didn’t go swimming, I absolutely loved my time at the beach in Petoskey State Park. The scenery was peaceful and beautiful, especially during sunset — truly a breathtaking view over the water. The beach was clean and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding and taking in nature. A great spot for a calm evening by the lake!

Great place for an overnight stay..Has electric only in the sites 😔 so fill your tanks up.. Walk the beach,,look for rocks,, sorry NO sea shells here !! The Sand dunes are hard for walking,hope you are in shape!!! The black squirrels are fun... didn't see to much of the park,,I bet it's has more to offer than we seen so give it a shot you like it.... PS.. we don't like the registration fee for the out of state campers..$11.00 sucks!!

Great state park. It’s quickly become one of our favorites. Tons to do in the area. Nothing beats strolling the beach in the morning with a cup of coffee looking for petoskey stones. Perfect way to start the day.

Can't say enough about visiting this area. We took our 4 year old in April to search for petosky stones. It was definitely cold like 30-40 degrees but we had such as great time hunting for stones. There are plenty of beaches / parks where you can search for them. We stayed at an air bnb with their own private beach so that was helpful. There is a nearby town called Charlevoix which had many quaint restaurants and more beaches to explore as well as the mushroom homes to sight see. It would be a great place to visit in the summer when one can comfortably enjoy the lake. We loved the area and plan to revisit!

Nicely paved around the lake. Lots of pull offs to get out and stretch or take in some beautiful views and snap some pics. An abundance of trails to hike or bike. We stopped at their nature center. The people there were very friendly and informative.

Had a nice walkway to get close to the water, showers and foot showers by the restrooms. We went in green flag weather to be safe with the kids. Got great pics n found some pretty stones on the beach

Awesome place to stay. #134 so close to water and beach. Bathrooms are a little dated, but still, they were clean. Hated we couldn't take our dog to the beach. This was disappointing, but everything was so clean. Clear water. Beautiful rocks. Beautiful sunsets. We will still be back. There are so many places here that are good spots. If you have a bigger camper, it will be tight getting it in . It's so beautiful that we loved it here. A pleasant surprise
