S i x t e e n  Y e a r s!

It was in 1993 that we welcomed our first guests to the Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort. 16 years later, the welcome continues with an enhanced excitement of our first class facilities and wonderful staff committed to exemplary service. We want to express our complete appreciation of the wonderful times known by our guests as they share their experience with us. We are proud that our resort provides a source of so many fun filled events. 

 Petoskey KOA Kafe
Leave the Cooking to us !!
We Scream for Ice Cream

This will be our second year for you to enjoy our Kafe. We hope you will visit our new patio outside the KOA KAFE with all it’s ambiance and comfort. The Kafe will be serving up some delicious treats this season. We will be offering items like freshly baked Jespersen’s Pies (a family tradition in Petoskey for 105 years), premium ice cream and freshly brewed coffee. The food offerings will feature our now famous hand made Pizza (witch can even be delivered to your site) with many toppings to choose from, along with salads, hamburgers, sides and other treats. Just call ahead after a long day of area fun and we will have it ready for you when you get back to the KOA. We also offer packages for large families, rallies and groups.

Back by popular demand will be the daily delivery of the USA Today Newspaper to your doorstep each mor- ning in peak season. Our mission is to provide you with world class service so your precious few vacation days will be the best they can be.
