The Lower Falls Modern Campground features two campground loops, Hemlock and Portage. All sites have 30-amp service, and some 50-amp sites are available. A sanitation station is available seasonally, and recycling is available.
The Hemlock campground loop is located about a mile from the Lower Falls and is open year-round. The campground is generally more shaded than the Portage campground loop, with access to the park’s hiking trail system. The campground is the best place in the Lower Falls for cellphone service. In winter, portions are reservable for semi-modern camping.
The Portage campground loop is located near the river, about a quarter-mile from the Lower Falls. This campground loop features an ADA-accessible modern toilet and shower building and some accessible campsites. A few sites have river views, and the campground loop is generally sunnier and more open than the Hemlock campground Loop. There is North Country Trail access from the campground. In winter, the campground loop is open for hike-in camping.

Small mostly grass campground. Spaces are small and electric only at sights. Water and dump station is available in the Casino parking lot. The bath house is clean and well maitained. There are a couple of handicapp spaces on the edge of the Casino parking lot, normally filled with cars. If you are looking for a RV Resort experience, keep driving. If you need a overnight / place to stay while exploring the area this is a nice inexpensive place to stay. If you run out of things to do the Casino is steps away.
Rustic campground on a steep hill overlooking Lake Huron. Website makes promises campground doesn't deliver. We reserved 50 amp full hook up. We were charged an additional $15 to guarantee our site. We arrived today to find a tight sloping site with only 30 amp service for our 34 ft motorhome. Upon calling the office, the very young woman who answered, first of all, could not locate our reservation even though a packet and map were waiting outside for us. Second, she asks which site, fumbles around, and finally declares "well some sites are 50 amp and some are only 30 amp. Can you spell your name again for me?" This location is close to everything in this nice town, so if you come here to stay you will be paying premium site pricing and spinning the wheel of chance as to whether it will be electric only, electric and water, 30 amp full hookups or 50 amp full hookups, because the website says one thing and reality on site is altogether different.
Dirt sites that need some attention but level for the most part. Full hook up at site 11 was far enough from the lake that no one else was around for most of the day. Shower house was just a few steps away as was laundry.
An awesome campground tucked away in the U.P. Big rig access(46’ 5th wheel). Nice concrete pads, full hook up and cable. The staff is great and helpful. Secluded and quiet.
It doesn't get prettier than Wilderness SP. New sites are full hook-up; others are electric only. Cold water on these beaches - bring a warm blanket to wrap up in if you plan to go swimming. Beaches are not dog-friendly (as is the case throughout Michigan, although dog beaches are starting to make headway). There is a dark sky park nearby - don't bother. It gets plenty dark here, and star-gazing is phenomenal. Close to Mackinac City and ferry to the island; close to Big Mack Bridge.
Our family camped at this KOA in June 2018. They had a small playground for the kids. There was also a nice heated pool for them to swim in. Camping spots are shady. Most are pull through. This campground was easy to drive our camper through and easy to find. It’s in a great location and there is a shuttle that will pick you up if you want to go to Mackinac Island. The shuttle will take you directly to the ferry. The campground has laundry facilities that are clean. The employees are very friendly and helpful. We did not use bathhouses here as we had full hook ups.
We were a little confused here, as we thought the camping spots were the concrete pads leading up to the old airfield. But there are big rocks blocking the way from Rd 3536 to the airfield, so I don’t know if that’s a recent addition or what. There’s a large concrete pad on the west side of the rocks, and when we got there there was a nice looking (not sketchy) travel trailer set up for long term camping. Lots of trucks parked everywhere with trailers; they had hauled their ATVs in and were out riding for the day. They came back on their ATVs in the late afternoon, hung out for a few hours, then left (except for the trailer). All surprisingly quiet and respectful.
Zero cell service with Verizon but ATT had good service, mostly. It would randomly drop now and then but it would come back. We found a good spot to tuck into for the night, while staying out of the way of all the trucks parked everywhere. Very quiet and serene.
This is dispersed camping so of course no amenities whatsoever. Please handle your waste appropriately and let's keep this area clean.
29.00 a day with full hook-ups. 21.00 without sewer. All come with free cable tv and wifi antennas ever couple hundred feet so you get internet from any spot in the park. The newer side of the park has large spaces with plenty of room to stretch. No crazy rules here. Laundry machines are only 1.25 a load and the dryer actually dries.
This is a beautiful campground right on the straits of Mackinaw. They’ve recently added several sites with full hook ups and some just for tents that feel like they’re rigt on the beach. The older areas are going to be updated over the next couple years so we’ll see what they come up with. There are several rustic cabins available to stay. Some for large groups, and others more isolated in the park for smaller groups. Before memorial day and after Labor day its quite easy to find a site. Durig the main season, you’ll defintely want to reserve a site as they fill up quickly.
All the sites are pull through so your front door faces another front door. Roomy sites with designated fire pits. There is a playground with lots of things for the kids to do. There is a nature trail you can take your dogs on. Great location to get to most of everything you want to do in the UP. There is a dump station, but we had full hook up.
I only wish I lived closer. We traveled all the way from NY to visit this campground and it has still been my favorite to date. We stayed in the loop with the full hook-ups and had a beach view. Every night we had a beautiful sunset to watch. When the water was still, it was crystal clear and beautiful. It reminded me of some place tropical. The kids enjoyed playing on the sandy beaches. While we were here, we also visited Mackinac Island. We rented some bikes and toured the island. Visited many attractions including a winery, ate some famous fudge and climbed up to an overlook of the lake. We had so much fun here and I hope to one day visit it again.
I stayed here for 1 month. $25/night, $700/month. Mostly level grass sites with 30A, some have 50A. Most sites have a picnic table. Trash dumpster near the entrance. Fresh water, bathrooms with showers, and laundry (free but inside the women's bathroom), located in the pavillon. First come, first serve, no reservations. Choose your site, then go to the hotel registration located inside the west entrance of the hotel at the northern end of the complex. The showers are large but could use some cleaning. The dump station is in the parking lot in the SWC. ADA RV campsites in the parking lot next to the RV park. Casino, restaurant, deli and store (snacks and souvenirs) next to the RV park.
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.
Visited in Fall. Camped in lake front site (419); the lake being right by the campsite was nice. However, very little privacy nor trees in this area. Wide open camping - more like RV park camping. Not at all what I had hoped. Fire pits do not have cooking rack so bring own. Beach for walking very nice with water level down. Drove to Piping Plover nesting area-that was beautiful. Seven very remote rustic cabins in beautiful areas. Some right on water. October 18th they close modern bathrooms and most water spigots, so have to get water at Camp office. 20 miles of hiking trails. Headlands Dark Sky Park well worth the short drive; a Beautiful area. Gave 3 stars due to “RV Park” like campground. Otherwise rest of park 4-5 stars. More trees in back campground (not near Lake MI).
Wilderness was great, not what you are looking for if you are tent camping more of an RV park. Beautiful views though
This RV park has a self-check in. I made reservations 6 days prior to check in. When checking the folder which my name would have been in, it was not there. Some one did find it though miss filled. The site was barely long enough for my 39' 5th wheel. Sites are very close to each other. I don't plan on returning.
Our site was $99.89 night.
We were in Site# 98. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level.
Our site was not shaded with limited trees (many were shaded though). This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.
This lot (a premium lot) comes with a concrete patio with a round table with four chairs, two Adirondack chairs and a fire pit and a charcoal box grill.
It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(approximately 1 mile from highway).
There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.
There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.
They sell wood for $7 a bundle.
They pickup your garbage at your site daily.
You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent regular bicycles and e-bikes. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.
They do have a Swimming pool. There is a Playground. They also offer Gaga ball,horseshoe, and corn hole. There is a Reading lending library and board games to borrow.
They have a great general store. There is an electric car charging station. They sell propane.
There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.
The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes.
There are great places to ride bikes outside of campground. From the campground, there is a nature trail that you can take your bike that leads you to the. North Western State Trail.
They have cabins for rent and tent areas.
They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers. Toilets with sinks are in a shared bathroom. These are kept very clean.
There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. There are approximately 5 washers and 5 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry a load.
They have a fenced in dog park.
Bugs (mosquitoes/flies)did not seem to be an issue.
There were trails to hike off of the campground.
Some fun things to do outside of the campground are go to the beach (1 mile away); visit Mackinac Island (both major ferries will transport you for free - this KOA provides you information for Shepler’s Ferry). Both ferries offer packages that include horse drawn carriage rides, Fort Mackinac admission, Island Hotel Admission, Butterfly House admission, Mystery Town admission, and Parking options). There is a Jack Pine Lumberjack show.
Super nice RV park with nice facilities and a nice playground for the kids. I recommend portage vs hemlock. We stayed in site one next to the playground (not super close like I expected) but I also recommend site 5 and 13 for the views. The park was super clean and we didn't have any issues with bugs (mid Sept). The colors were just starting to change (probably will peak in the first week of October). The lower falls are in walking distance with a little icecream shop.
What a beautiful campground, they have everything to offer. Rustic lakefront sites, electric/ water hook up for RVs or tents.
Our site was 79-A best bridge view, pictures can’t even do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Nice easy trial to the water from our site.
Our site did flood a bit with heavy rain but we would for sure do this site again.
No hook up, so be prepared to boondocking in the lake front sites.
2 dump stations/ water fill up
Offers 2 small playgrounds Bath houses are nice
St ignance town was very cute! We enjoyed going into town.
Near by grocery store available .
Service was good - sprint
We were passing through the area at end of season (it definitely dumped snow and sleet all over us!) Grateful to have a place to stop, and to be able to stay hooked up! Full hookup, discount if you pay with cash!
Very cheap - 30 amps, water and sewer hookup on unlevel overgrown sites. Not exaggerating that weeds are a foot high covering all the sites and grounds like a pasture - unless you bring your own weedeater or mower. The ancient class c camper next to us doesn't appear to be movable and has no sewer hooked up. 2 cars park on either side of it, although that means one car comes and goes constantly and is parking on our site right outside our door. Across the highway is a large prison, just down the road from an airport. This is a very old, sad, and poor small town with no amenities, so plan on driving 30 minutes to Sault Sainte Marie for groceries, restaurants, and anything else you could possibly want to do. The rv park also has the township's memorial dog park. Guess what? Not mowed, and full of dog waste. We watched a man bring 5 dogs every weekday around 5pm, put them in the gated dog park and sit looking at his phone for 30 minutes. Then he calls them after they have all pooped, loads them into his SUV, and drives off. Just wanting you to get the whole honest picture - you cannot beat the $20 per night full 30 amp hook ups, and the power and water are good quality. There are good reasons why here in 2021 there are probably 35 unoccupied sites. Stopping for a night? Sure. Staying for a month - only if you know what you are getting into.
Good size lots with fire pit. Some full hookup and others with electric and water. Also WiFi available however seems not to work well. Cable tv, Laundry and bath house. At friendly with nearby trails.
This is our favorite rustic campground, Surrounded by woods and on the water edge.
Tent camping - rustic waterfront, fire pit
RV camping - electric/ water, fire pit
Open your door and you are on the water!
Love the campground. Can fill quick. The bathroom facilities are pretty nice. We avoid June and July because of black wise. The beach isn't bad on the lake but directly across the street you can go down to Lake Superior which has miles of beaches. Lots of hiking trails in about a half hour from any town. There is a little store on the other side of the lake. One of our top spots to come camp. There is power hookups to most sites and spots for RVs and campers. Not a far drive to go cut your own firewood.
Located up on a hill and there are some spots that overlook the lake and Mackinaw Island.
Close to town. Very clean and friendly staff. Sites are level and you have everything from rustic to full hookup. Wifi is available also.
Laundry room is clean as well as the showers.
Shaded and full sun sites. Nice breeze coming in off the lake.
Minutes from the bridge and castle rock
This is an older Campground. Wooded Rustic with gravel drive access. We enjoyed our four day stay. Had full hookups, was quiet and enjoyable.
Stayed for a week using Tiki as home base while we visited local attractions. We had a full hookup site. Staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean. T-Mobile internet connected.
