Awesome location

We’ve stayed at Mackinac Millcreek a few times. Awesome campground, definitely need to know the campground a little bit IF you’re planning on bringing a very large RV. But if not, call the office they’ll put you in a good spot. Our first time to the campground was pretty funny, the whole camp ground was sold out. But they squeezed us in by the rally building and apologized about it being by the maintenance area. Turn out to be one of the best spots we’ve camped. There was a lot of partying, so it was perfect for us. But the rest of the campground is pretty chill.

Bogus charge

They gave us a bogus charge of 50$ several days after we left, for smoking in a cabin.  Myself, my wife and our 4 year old son do not smoke.  Never have never will.  The bogus charge is being disputed but that’s not the point.  Warning to others to find somewhere else to camp, at least if you’re renting a cabin.  What a scam operation.

Waterfront Gem

This campground is huge with many sites to choose from. We traveled with two other families and chose to stay on the Lake View (Mackinaw Bridge not visible). For our families these were the best sites because they are on the water with beach sand. If you choose to stay on the side with the bridge view the shore line is rocky. We stayed in sites 176-178 and all three were spacious. Unfortunately, not full hook up but good for water and electric. Another perk of staying in these sites is you are a short walk away from the bath houses (private and clean), the playground, pool, and camp store. The camp store is one of the nicest I have been in. It is stocked with all of your camping wants & needs. If you choose to visit Mackinaw Island there is a shuttle van (free) that comes to the campground and will transport you and your bikes to the ferry. We had a wonderful stay at this campground and would definitely recommend the sites we stayed in and any on the beach front.

Huge campground!

This place is huge with a variety of sites.  Try to score one of the lakefront ones if you can! They have beautiful views.  Our site was fine for a night as we drove through. We booked last minute and didn’t have many sites to choose from as this place is popular!  Bathroom and showers were clean. Staff friendly.  

We would definitely stay again!
