The city of Petoskey in Northern Michigan lies on Lake Michigan near both Walloon Lake and lake Charlevoix. The city is also surrounded by five state parks that offer a variety of hiking and biking trails. Visit Lake Michigan during your stay and look for a Petoskey stone, the town's namesake. These speckled stones are actually fossilized coral and may be more than 350 million years old.

Magnus Municipal Park

The Magnus Municipal Park consists of 78 campsites with 36 sites including full hookups, 30 sites with only water and electrical hookups and 12 primitive sites. While the park itself has only the basics expected at any RV park such as a dump station and fire rings, it's location just off Little Traverse Bay makes a visit worthwhile. Just outside of the park visitors will discover 1,000 feet of sandy beaches, bike paths, hiking trails and picnic areas.
