Greetings from Traverse City!

Hello all,

Just bought our first Jayco. We are upgrading from our Coleman Utah PUP. Wanted something a bit easier to set up. Checked out the the Ultralites last weekend, and came back to the dealer today. This Friday we will take home our X17Z. Very excited to get out for a shakedown trip, got to get to know our new home on wheels before Orlando this August.

Daren a.k.a. Rocketspen.

Welcome from Kalamazoo! How about a review of Traverse City State Park? We are thinking of staying there in 2015.

Mcfarmall,

We stayed at TCSP a few years back when we lived in Petoskey. I don't remember much about it, but it wasn't a bad experience. One really good thing is location. East Bay (Lake Michigan) on the north and the TART trail to the south. The TART trail is a paved path that you can walk or bike to nearby Restaurants and stores. It leads downtown and connects to other hot spots.

If you are looking for a more laid back spot, Try Interlochen State Park. Still close to Traverse City.

Nice to meet you, rocketspen. I live in TC also. Hubby and I just picked up our new 26 ft. TT on 6/10, so we got ours just a couple days ahead of you! Hope you enjoy your camping experiences.

Thanks again all. Taking our first test run at Interlochen SP. Set up went well, TARDIS tacky lights out, and off for a quick bit of work before coming back to relax for a day and a half. Loving the less work vs the PUP.
