Mackinaw City Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Stargazing and a short drive into town draw campers to this open-field campground in Mackinaw City. The layout runs roughly 17 hookup sites with water and electric, plus an overflow field for rustic camping when those fill. Cell service and WiFi are both available on-site. The family-run operation keeps things low-key. Campers wanting more facilities nearby can look at Mackinaw City / Mackinac Island KOA or browse camping near Mackinaw City for additional options in the area.

to the point

well kept and quiet campground. the owner, Clem was super friendly and accommodating. campground seems a little desolate from the outside but if you want a good nights sleep, this is the place. :) right on the main rip to the city and excellent for stargazing because it’s so open.

Love this place

You won't find much here but its all you need to relax. I have stayed here twice now and love it. 17 sites (I think) with water and electric hookup. But a full field for rustic camping if the others are full. 

The family that runs the site is super nice and friendly. This is for sure my goto in this area.
