“Beautiful, relaxing lakeview”

This is a city-owned and operated facility. It is truly amazing here. The facility is very clean and quiet. A nice variety of people from all over the country staying. All sites are full hookup and we...

“Great location to visit Charlevoix, Petosky and surrounding area.”

Sites are level gravel or grass. Sewer connections are a little wonky. Ours was directly under our camper. Sites are very very close. The playground and beach are very nice. We camped at East Jordan Tourist Park in a Travel Trailer.

You must visit Charlevoix, Boyne City and Petosky. All three are charming towns with shops and restaurants.

EAST JORDAN TOURIST PARK - Campground Reviews, Photos (MI)

Camping East Jordan Tourist Park in Michigan

By Nick from 50 Campfires

Camp Michigan: I’m talking with Tom today. He’s the Parks Director at East Jordan Tourist Park in Michigan. Tom, why don’t you get us started by giving us a little bit of background on East Jordan Tourist Park?

Tom: Well, the East Jordan Tourist Park is city owned. It is located right on Lake Charlevoix, and we are only about 14 to 15 miles away from Lake Michigan. Very popular tourist area is the lake. The campground itself has a public swimming beach. We have 85 total campsites, 70 of it which are full hook-up. Includes Cable TV. We do have 50amp service available for large rigs. We have tent sites. We have pop-up sites. Kind of a good range for all sorts of camping. We do have restrooms and showers. We have two cabins that are heated. Even in the winter, we rent those out, and those are available for weekly and monthly rentals. We offer also seasonal camping and monthly reservations as well as weekends. We have a large playground that was added just a few years ago. We have ball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts – all that are adjacent to the Park. And we’re located right on M-66, which is a State Highway. A very popular road that goes up to Charlevoix, Michigan.

Camp Michigan: Great. So, no shortage of options for the type of camping that somebody might want to do. What are the most popular activities for people who stay there?

Tom: The most popular is probably, if you’re staying right at the campground, is the swimming beach and all the recreational opportunities that we have with the facilities. Nearby we have – I mean there’s an unlimited amount of outdoor activities for a short drive. If you wanted to drive in many directions, we have a lot of outdoor, like I said, four-wheel off road. There’s horseback riding. There’s boating. Fishing is excellent in Lake Charlevoix. And again, we don’t have docks, but we do offer free trailer parking and there is anchoring for their boats that are right near the swimming area.

Camp Michigan: Sure, fantastic. Two more questions for you, Tom. If you were going to spend just one hour at East Jordan Tourist Park yourself, how would you spend your time there?

Tom: Well, if I was a new customer, I would try to take advantage of all the things right here and even in walking distance. It isn’t a large city. It’s very walkable. Easy to get around. The downtown isn’t very far away, but I’d probably try to take advantage of a lot of the swimming and boating activities just because that’s probably the most popular. But any shopping is also walking distance, and we have a great Visitors Bureau nearby that can be assistance for any of the day trips if you would like to travel around the Northern Michigan area.

Camp Michigan: All right, perfect. And last question for you, Tom. If you were going to spend just one night at East Jordan Tourist Park in Michigan, which specific site would you stay at and why?

Tom: Well, our most popular sites are corner sites. Sites 55 and 56, because you get a great lake view. They’re a little bit wider sites, but the nice thing is, is all of our full hook-up sites come with all the same amenities. Very close in size. So, even if you were to book a reservation at the last minute, you would still be very happy with your site. They’re all partially wooded and, again, with full hook-up you have unlimited amount of utilities with no other surcharges.

Camp Michigan: Perfect. Well, hey, thank you so much, Tom, for giving us all that great information there about the surrounding area and to tell us a little bit more about East Jordan Tourist Park in Michigan.

Tom: Okay, you’re very welcome.

Our secluded riverfront cabin has been completely remodeled and is available for you to enjoy the peace and tranquility of “The Promised Land”. Enjoy the solitude of no visible neighbors yet only minutes from downtown East Jordan where you can enjoy fresh local coffee, a delicious breakfast or some of the best soft serve ice cream Northern Michigan has to offer. Enjoy fantastic fishing out your front door, have a fire inside or out, or just relax to the sounds of the magnificent Jordan River. Built from a kit in 1955 and remodeled in 2021, The Promised Land in EJ is an experience unlike no other. Located on the banks of the Jordan River, you will find solitude among the trees and wildlife. River otters, muskrats, deer, ducks, and various birds wander along the banks of the river as you sip your Michigan-made coffee on the three-season porch. Our pet-friendly cabin allows you and your family the opportunity to leave your stress behind. Many of the original parts of The Promised Land remain. Once inside, you will see the original front door that has been transformed into the bathroom door, hand-hewn beams, and a three-sided fireplace that allows the cabin to glow. A loft with twin logs beds will give your children or guests a cozy place to relax, read, color, or watch TV. Many items in our cabin are a mix of our families’ histories as well as updates. For example, the overhead light is created from a grandfather’s oars, the front porch was screened by a grandfather and great-grandfather, and the original log banister spells out PL on the porch. What sets us apart from other local places? We offer:

*Free firewood for indoor and outdoor use *The peace of mind of knowing there are no visible neighbors from the cabin or yard *Free charcoal and supplies for all your grilling needs *Various outdoor games for all ages. *Indoor activities for those rainy days *Several streaming services including HBO Max, Disney Plus, Sling, Netflix, Paramount +, and Hulu *A Guestview Guide which offers our best recommendations for local restaurants and activities *A wireless speaker so you can enjoy music while relaxing along the shore *Local Michigan coffee with choices between K-cups and ground coffee *Homemade biscuits for your pets *Fresh banana bread *Handmade soap with a Petoskey stone encased inside from our own local Jordan Valley Glassworks Company *Vinyl stickers of our logo for you to remember your stay

We have also teamed up with several local businesses to help you explore East Jordan and the surrounding areas. One of these businesses includes Wild Bill’s Guide Service. Wild Bill will pick you up on our shore and take you fishing for steelhead and trout. Stigg’s Brewery in Boyne City will provide you and your guests with one free local Stigg’s beer each as you enjoy their fantastic dinner choices. Ever wonder what the cabin looks like from the river? Jordan Valley Outfitters will take $20 off your rafting and canoeing trips which will take you right by the Promised Land in EJ.

Your worries will float down the river when you stay at The Promised Land in EJ, where every day begins with a sunrise and ends with a smile.
