Not a great park. Roads are tight and poorly maintained. The hookups are really screwy. In half of the sites the electric and cable are on the right side of the coach and they are really a stretch. Wi-Fi works occasionally and office staff is not real helpful. This could be a nice park with some work. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in sp.#28. We thought it a very nice site, next to restrooms, however, never visited them. WiFI was excellent, four bars, however, couldn't get satellite. Good cable. Owners were very nice. Lake Huron's bay front only a couple miles from park, ferries to Mackinac Island which was very enjoyable. Lots of rear space in campground for walking our dog. Would definitely stay here again if in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Roads and sites just dust and dirt which does not justify a nightly rate of $45. Wifi and cable are good. Handy to town and the ferries for Mackinac Island being about 3 miles away. Not an attractive park and we would be looking elsewhere if we returned to the area. Met friends here who were staying at Mill Creek RV in Mackinac City, on the waterfront and paying $31 for water & sewer hookup. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Signage to campground limited compared to many KOA's. Office friendly but not efficient, they recorded us on the wrong site. Access roads OK, but many sites not level and very scruffy. Electricity pods very erratically placed with one pod between two sites. Sewage hook-up point very far forward. Garbage bins full to overflowing. Rustic to the extreme and seemingly little maintenance. Very expensive. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Price was for 3-way hookup, no cable TV. This park has the second strangest hookup I’ve ever seen: water and sewer are normal but the electricity is shared between two sites, requiring a 50-ft cord. Unless your extension is rated at 30 amps, it will limit you to 20. Sites are lightly graveled mud and only some have cable TV: ask for it specifically if the 6 stations received on the antenna are insufficient. The WIFI cuts out maddeningly often. You can buy tickets at the park office for the catamaran to Mackinac Island, and the company that runs it will pick you up at the park. We took advantage of the service and had a fun day in this resort area which doesn’t allow vehicles other than bicycles and horse-drawn. Back at the park, restrooms and laundry were clean, fairly modern and very nicely heated: much appreciated in freezing temps! Friendly, helpful staff; overall a good (albeit over-priced by about $ 10) place to stay while exploring the Straits of Mackinac. I originally rated the park as a 7, but increased it to 8 when, on departure, I drove around it and found some absolutely beautiful sites further in, some with room for an RV plus a tent. Don’t know what the hookups are like or whether the WIFI works back there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very convenient to area attractions and it even had a shuttle to the island ferries. The full hookups were nice, but they were not nearly as shaded as the water/electric only sites. A few weeds and piles of leaves detracted from the overall appearance. One of the bathrooms was having toilet issues, but that can happen anywhere. We would not hesitate to camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not very fond of KOAs but this one wasn't too bad. At least the trees were trimmed for adequate height and width clearances. Good pull thrus. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped in the upper campground to avoid the road noise from I-75. We had a large pull-through site and found it to be level and wide. A number of the lower campground sites looked quite narrow and not very level. The staff was helpful and friendly. One very nice feature was each shower house has four private and lockable showers. In our shower house, one was fine, but the other three provided only scalding hot water. This lasted our visit of five days. A neighboring shower house was fine. Bathrooms were clean. Very convenient to I-75. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Quiet tree lots some with sight of Lake Michigan. Nice water access but very rocky and not a place to do a lot of swimming but a nice place to walk in sight of the Mackinaw Bridge. Bathhouse was very clean and had been recently remodeled. Firewood was available for purchase at a reasonable rate, however, had to walk a long way carrying it. Sites are large and roomy and having paved roads keeps the dust down within the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly staff. Very visible DNR rangers. Very scenic campground. Lakeshore spots primitive only. Almost walking distance from downtown St. Ignace, and ferry boats to Mackinaw Island. The reason I rated low: too close to ‘Big Mac’ road noise all day, all night. (If you’re deeper into the campground, those sites are a bit quieter). Water level in the lakes is very low, and the shoreline suffers from it. Had site 83- huge, but had a pretty good slope to it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice state park on the shore of Lake Huron. Some sites a pretty close together, while others have more space. It's the luck of the draw during crowded times. We stayed in the lower campground and had a large shaded site. Due to recent rains, the site was muddy and didn't drain well. We are not Michigan residents so we had to purchase an annual state park pass for $29, $24 for residents. If you don't purchase the pass, it is $8 additional for each day you stay. A little steep for a state park. The pass is worth it if you are staying for an extended period of time or more than 3 days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is very convenient to I-75 and the Mackinac Island ferries. Since this is a popular tourist spot, we made a reservation for the camp site. This was not necessary; possible because it was after Labor Day. There were many sites to choose from. There are two areas in the campground: the upper and the lower. Most of the larger sites for big rigs are in the upper area. We reserved an extra-long site in the upper area of the campground and were very pleased with it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park with great views of the straits and the bridge. The beach at the park is rocky but a short drive on US 2 will take you to beaches that make you think you are in Mexico. There are great walking trails in the woods and the town is walking distance away. The road get a little noisy at times but it was not a bother. I would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had a site on the East Loop (17) with a bridge view. The sites are close together and small. However, we did not mind as our neighbors were quite nice. Our site had quite a slope to it. I had to crank the tounge jack all the way down to level the camper. Very nice camp hosts. The beach is pretty rocky, but the water is shallow. We'll stay here again when we want to explore the Mackinac area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Expensive even without including the required motor vehicle permits ($58 total for MH and car; yearly passes made sense for us otherwise it's $8 per day for the MH and $6 per park for the toad) and they don't have water at the sites but once you get over that the park isn't bad. We had site #258 with 50 amp electric in the area away from the water and were basically happy with it. It had a gravel pad, some trees for afternoon shade and was level if you backed into the left side of the site. The sites near the water were jam packed with tents and people, not at all appealing to us. The roads in the campground loops are in good condition but extremely narrow but not one way, fine for our 30 ft class A but heads-up for oncoming traffic. The bathhouses were decent and had private individual showers that were fairly clean, even over the weekend. The park has a couple of nice views of the bridge and an easy day trip to the Soo Locks in Sault St. Marie. Dump is easy to access and has fresh potable water that you can reach while dumping your tanks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Outstanding campground! We stayed here on the last two nites of an 11 day trip to Toronto from Wisconsin. This park was exactly what we needed. Everything was clean and very well maintained. Nice BIG fire pits, nice big sites. Roads are paved and sites have gravel parking pads. Pads are level. Quiet at nite and lots to do during the day. Just a very nice and relaxing camping experience. We will be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Made reservation online. Did not like the site once I saw it. The girl in the office gave me a list of all available site and told me to let her know which I took. The "gravel pad" sites have been grass seeded over. Stayed in the lower campground. The lower area is not very big rig friendly, but it is possible. Bathrooms and shower were great. Right next to Mackinac Bridge ($5 for 2 axel trailer) and only a mile from the shuttles to Mackinaw Island. Well maintained. Prices are $22-$24 plus you have to have or buy Mich S.P. window decal for each vehicle(s) - $24 for annual resident, $29 annual non-res. OR purchase by the day. Very friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Best state park I have seen. Been a couple years since I have been back. They were not
taking reservations in 2003 and pretty booked in 2004. Newly renovated so I can't wait to see the improvements. Had to mark I don't knows in the ammenities
section since the updates might have changed that. Awsome view of the Mackinac Bridge at night and just a quick ferry ride to Mackinac Island.
