Vista Green RV Resort in South Boardman, MI

Very clean campground with very clean and spacious RV lots!  Good location to Traverse City and surrounding areas.  Friendly and helpful staff.  Didn't use the pool, but it looked very clean.  Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back...thank you!

We stayed ay Vista Green RV Resort in August 2025 on site 51 which is a great site! We used the pool multiple times and it's cleaned daily. Some of the sites are owned and they hosted a Saturday evening party in the clubhouse. There was food & music! Everyone staying there was invited! The managers, Greg & Kim were very accommodating and friendly.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Vista Green RV Resort.  It was easy to locate, the spots were large and the amenities were nice.  We enjoyed the pool and hot tub.  There is much to do in the area-we had a wonderful time exploring the sites and sounds and tastes.  We would highly recommend a visit to Vista Green RV Resort.

Everyone working at the park was very friendly and accomodating. The grounds were well kept and extremely nice.  The restrooms were cleaner than any park I have ever been to.  There were daily planned activities (optional) and the rec room was open late.  There was a big fire pit and the firewood was provided. We had a group of ten visiting and there wasn't a complaint from any of us.

Two things that I wasn't prepared for- cash wasn't accepted and smokeless firepits on sites only.

Overall, I would definitely visit there again due to the friendly, helpful staff; quiet, relaxed atmosphere; cleanliness; and amenities.

We had a great stay and time.  This Resort is great, very clean and well kept.  The pool and hot tub area was great.  Bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept.  We will come back for sure and highly recommend this RV resort.

This is our first time here. We are here with a group of 10 motorhomes.  The management here can not be beat, they are wonderful as we worked with them for 9 months to pull this rally off. The park is large and very spacious and well taken care of. Their clubhouse and amenities are second to none.

Highly recommend.

The RV park was easy to get to and in a convenient location for our travels. We weren't far from Traverse City also and was able to enjoy the city without the congestion and noise in the evenings. It was nice to come home to a quiet, peaceful place. The management were very helpful and pleasant. The park was clean and sites were large and easily assessible.

We were in Site# 4A (premium site).  We had Full hook- up with a blacktop pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level.

Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our  neighbors fairly close.

The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table.   There was not a fire ring since only propane fires are allowed.

There is free WiFi.  They do not offer Cable TV but  there are many local channels.

There is an adult pub-style game room with poker tables, a large tv, a table shuffle board, air hockey game, foosball table, and board games.   There is a community catering kitchen located in their activities center.

They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.   This can be a long distance for some.

You are allowed to ride personal golf carts.  They also allow you to rent golf carts.  It is beneficial to have a golf cart to get around since it is a large campground. We have our own e-bikes which helped.

They do have a large heated Swimming pool and an adults only hot tub.   There is a fitness center.

They have quite a few ponds throughout the campground.

There is not a Playground.   They offer pickleball courts.

There is not a general store nor snack bar/restaurant on site.

The streets are paved and good for riding bikes.

This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.

The showers are located in the activity center. These are typical stalls.  There is a great area to hang clothes and store your toiletries in the shower stall. These are kept very clean.

There is a laundry facility. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers.
They allow you to use cash or an app.   It is approximately $2.25 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs though.

Bugs/gnats were a small issue and bug spray was needed.

There is supposedly a mowed  trail to hike off of the campground (about 3 miles) but I was unable to locate it.

Some fun things to do outside of the campground are the shops (Front Street) & water activities in Traverse City, the local wineries/vineyards,  and the DNR Outdoor Shooting range (5 miles away & free to the public).  We ate at Yankee Boy where all of the locals hangout.  Excellent food (no alcohol served).

We enjoyed our stay at Vista Green RV Resort.  The staff was very pleasant and very attentive to the guest.  The grounds were very well maintained and it was not extremely far from Traverse City.  It was a peaceful stay.

We had a wonderful two month stay at this beautiful resort! Here you will be surrounded by woods yet still close to all the amenities one would need, perfect for a weekend getaway or a long term rental. The resort itself has very nice amenities, our favorite and most used were the heated pool and golf cart rentals. Everyone I encountered here was very polite and the staff will go above and beyond to help as well! Added bonus were the beautiful sunsets and Northern Lights we got to see! If our travels ever take us back this way we will be certain to stay again!

What a beautiful and quiet resort.  We stayed a week in our 5th wheel and loved it!  The sites were large with concrete pads surrounded by grass, lakes,  and native flora. The grounds are almost manicured in their appearance.  All of the visitor facilities are new and well maintained.  The park features a spacious community center with large pool and spa, very well outfitted game room with all kinds of activities (games), a very nice and well-marked nature trail, and pickle  ball courts, and a gym.  All interior roads are asphalt and wide for easy maneuvering.  Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They truly believe in hospitality and importance of a positive experience for all of their guests.  Every Friday night the park hosts a meet and greet with free refreshments.  Very nice!  The owners have plans for a large expansion which will provide even greater camper capacity.  I rate this park high because it deserves it.  I just hope that we can still get a site here once it is “found out”.

This is a very nice, clean RV park with nice amenities.  There is a large,  clean pool with sections for adults and children to keep water activity calm for adults, also a hot tub.  There is a nice exercise room, clean bathrooms and laundry room, and 2 pickleball courts.  The sites are very nice and spacious as the concrete pads are double wide (quite the exception to the norm) with room between sites.  Service was exceptional -- can't say enough accolades regarding this RV park.  It's quiet and peaceful yet close enough to activities in Traverse City and touring other town.  We will return when in Michigan.  Highly recommended!!

Really nice RV resort with large full hookup sites and beautiful pool area!

Map shows how the resort looks maybe in 20 years, stayed there and only 1/16 of the sites are there. Still under construction, new sites are bare, no landscaping. 

Great Place to stay for motorhomes and 5th wheels, travel trailers are really not accepted well here.
