"We reserved site 83A for our family of 5. we were in close proximity to the newly constructed bathhouse complete with dish washing stations. it was a full campground on the Friday night that we were there"
"The Straits State Park in Michigan's Upper Penninsula sits on the North end of the Mackinaw Bridge in St. Ignace."
"Pretty secluded campsites with trees surrounding each site. Private little sandy trail from the site down to Lake Michigan allows for good distancing from others. Can’t beat the sunsets."
"You are within walking distance of Lake Michigan and the beach is nice and sandy. The sites are well maintained but there is not much distance between them so be prepared for that."
$26 - $48 / night
"Very nice lakeside campsites. Little on the pricey side for me. Edging a little bit towards the style of the Michigan state parks, which isn't my scene."
"We choose this campground for its close-ish proximity to St. Ignace and the Labor Day Bridge Walk."
"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"
"Spent four nights here while we explored the surrounding area. Took two trips out to Mackinac Island - the ferry sompanies have free pick up at the KOA."
"Got here the weekend it was closing for the season and aside from the beginning of duck season and the firing of lots of shotguns on my next to last morning here, it was a really peaceful place."
"Barbara is amazing as is her 50 some spots on private camping land on the lake! Electric hookups, water well, and honestly my favorite camping site so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
"The pool was great for swimming, and mackinaw city is a great place to walk around and explore!"

"This campground is exactly as it’s named; right on Lake Michigan."
"It was a last minute choice after a long day of driving and it was absolutely perfect. Sites are not super private but the sites on the lake side had a small walk to the gorgeous beach."
$28 - $42 / night
"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."
"This campground is a good location to activities within St. Ignace. The person in the site next to us was in Site 5. But, good luck trying to find it on the map. "
$24 / night
"Good distance between site and clean!!! Love this place!!! Easy access to carp river. Some site back up to river edge. I stayed at 14 which is quiet and is an amazing site."
"It was very spacious and right near the bathrooms. Our only complaints are that there were some potholes in the road that could be filled in, and the mosquitoes were horrendous."
$34 - $52 / night
"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."
GuideThe staff member at check-in was very pleasant even though it was past her shift time. Stayed at walk-in site 113. It was clean and had sufficient privacy especially with site 114 being vacant. Vault toilet was clean and not far.
ScoutWARNING! DO NOT reserve here! We should have been suspicious when they wanted 100% full payment cash app to reserve 4.5 months ahead for a 5 day RV stay.
We were forced to cancel when our tow vehicle needed a long block replacement. We notified Lori Schmidt 11 days advance. Lori Schmidt said no refunds or credits. We thought at least some pro-rated refund. but nothing. and this was the kicker-> She said they did NOT disclose the cancellation policy, by design.
After reporting this to the Michigan attorney general, Lori replied with the explanation that..."that our cancellation refund policy is not required to be posted as we were informed by our legal counsel and by our web designer" so it is their business policy to hide their cancellation policy from their customers.
Cash upfront. hidden cancellation policy. Buyer beware. There are other campgrounds in Michigan that value customers.
TravelerWe came in Mid September, the weather was still warm but 60/70. No bathrooms or hook ups, but perfect for tent or car campers. There was one other camper with a pop up camper and looked to be doing great. The road was long but worth the drive back!
TravelerNice to find some free dispersed camping near mackinaw city. Came in early September and it was pretty packed - gotta imagine it’s even busier in the peak of summer.
ScoutNice Camp sites, pretty beach. I was there in October, so I don’t know what it would be like in warmer weather. I had the place to myself on a Saturday.
ScoutHaven’t been here but 9 hours but appears to be well run. Great front office employees. Staying tonight and one more.
ScoutWe drove a 24 ft RV at night to the site and the road is decent but has MANY deep potholes. So you need to watch for that ! No one else at the site! Just parked off to the side of the road near the boat launch and had a view of the water ! Very secluded feeling and peaceful !
ScoutI have camped at St James on Beaver Island numerous times, typically for 5-8 days. Beaver Island is a designated dark sky area and I’ve seen the aurora multiple times. My favorite thing to do is paddle my kayak out into the bay, anchor up, and sit for hours in the gentle waves reading a book.
RangerThere’s LOTS of sites at this state park. There’s 3 different sections, the first 2 being older with mostly “no camping pad” electric sites, and the 3rd is newer with gravel full hookup sites. The lake is easily accessible and wonderful. There are no bathrooms or showers in the new section. AT&T and T-Mobile service was fairly good. Easy access to lots of things to do during the day.
