"This is a great location to camp if you are looking for proximity to Mackinac Island. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have electric and water but no sewer."
"Small campground but right on Lake Huron. The campsites are close to each other so I would recommend one of the outer campsites that backs up to the woods."
"We had site #16 right near the front, which meant we had some traffic noise and kids running to the adjacent playground, but the spacious lot size made up for it (and having 3 kids of our own, we didn't"

"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"
TravelerWe had a full hook up site, the pictures on the site obviously were way better than the actual site (203), there was no shower house near our camping section. The biting insects were SOOOO bad while we were there
LegendHuge campground in a wonderful location. They have everything here- huge playground, pool, beach, great store, lots to do. The view of the lake from our site was spectacular. There is a beautiful grassy and rocky shoreline that is lined with fire pits for viewing the sunset and bridge lights in the evening. Very cool and communal in a good way. You buy your ferry tickets to Mackinaw Island at the camp store and it's 10 minutes to get there with boats leaving every 30 minutes. The island is amazing and worth a day of your life to ride around it on a bike and get some good food and fudge.
GuideWe have been coming to Loons Point for 3 summer visits. We have experienced nothing but superior service and support from the people who work here! It's not the fanciest but there's very good value for the price. You can't touch them in the area for a full hook up campground.
GuideA beautiful campsite on the water. We were the only campers this time of the year, so it was very peaceful and quiet. Barbara runs this campground out of her home on site. She is a wonderful lady.
GuideGreat little campground. A few campsites on the water. Sites are spaced out decent and plenty of privacy. Vault toilets were clean and stocked. Decent fishing on the lake.
TravelerWe’ve been here several times and it’s one of our favorites. However, there are a lot of bugs, some biting, this time of year. We will definitely be back but will avoid May and June. AT&T reception is good. Good Ranger presence too.
TravelerWe were looking for a campground around Mackinac Island and found this little gem. Our camp host was lovely, and the sites were spacious and well-kept. We were one of 3 groups in the entire campground, so it was a quiet stay with little interaction with others. We took a nice stroll over the bridge and through the pine forests. Close enough to gas stations and grocery stores, but still quiet.
GuideBooked a site day of in middle of May, and got a fantastic “walk-in” site overlooking the bay. When we were there the midges were swarming so it was a bit buggy. But the views were great and site was apart from the others, the walk in was very brief and vault toilet not far away.
TravelerGreat camp ground very well run. Great camp store, if you forgot it they probably got it. Build a fire in one of the many fire pits on the lake shore and watch the spectacular sun set and the bridge light up! If we are ever back up this way we will stay again.
