  Hoeft State Park Campground

  Great park with subpar site.

  Visit Hoeft every year for group camping weekend. Perfect weather, nice spacing of sites, great access to the beach. Site 33 is not a favorite. Quite small, backed up to poison ivy and quite close to a neighbor site.

  Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping

  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.

  Haakwood State Forest Campground

  Easy access to north central bike path

  This campground is right on the north central bike path and I came to this here for that easy access. However, it is right next to the road and there is a lot of road noise during the day and early evening. It did quiet down overnight. Being next to the road also gives easy access to nearby attractions like Indian River. If you're looking for a camp site to sit around and relax during the day, this is probably not the place for you.The camp sites are spread out and many offer complete privacy. Most are shaded. The campground is only 2 miles from I 75 and is an excellent spot if you need a campsite just to stop over.

  Young State Park Campground

  Unique Trails

  The campground was well maintained. The sites had adequate privacy and space. I really enjoyed the trails through Cedar Forest along Lake Charlevoix. More unique experience than just hiking through the woods.

  Alpena County Fairground

  Better than expected

  Alpena Fairground camp sites are conveniently located right off Route 23 within minutes of local attractions and historic sites.  The RV / trailer sites were spacious enough with water views of the Alpena wildlife sanctuary and Thunder Bay River. The sunset views are lovely. We launched our kayaks right from our site and paddled around the sanctuary.  Be aware, you cannot access Thunder Bay and Lake Huron from here.  Access is blocked off at 9th street dam.  If you want to head into Thunder Bay it’s best to just drive down and launch in at marina.  And if you head down River you will have to paddle upstream to get back, not fun in high winds. Camping is quiet, only a few other campers there.  Be mindful the fairgrounds hosts events during the year.  The circus stopped to perform during our three days there but we didn’t hear a sound or notice anyone around.  The restrooms and showers were clean enough, located near fairground entrance.  Holly the caretaker was courteous to answer my questions over the phone before arrival and during check in. Her home office is located near entrance, it’s a small rancher house.  Water and dump available as well near entrance.  Overall a nice quiet stay.  The should invest in new fire rings.

  Haakwood State Forest Campground

  Rustic campground

  Stayed here Labor Day weekend. It was my first time staying at a State Forest campground; it has the basics like a hand pump for water, pit toilets and a dumpster. Site 12 had a spot for my hammock. Watch out for poison ivy. The only downside is that other campers don't know how to behave at night. They think karaoke and screaming at their domestic partner at 1:42 am is acceptable.

  Hoeft State Park Campground

  Great overnight on Lake Huron

  I enjoyed this campsite. Maybe it was because of it being a Sunday night, but it didn’t feel very crowded and was fairly quiet. It’s close to the water (just a short walk over the dunes so you can’t actually see the lake from your site.) I had electric and the bathrooms had showers, though they definitely could use an update. The only thing that could have made this place better was if they allowed dogs on the beach! I was traveling alone and would have loved to have walked the beach with my pup.

  Cheboygan State Park Campground

  Peaceful & plentiful

  Cheboygan State Park is a must do for all campers! This is a hidden gem. Many of the campsites walk out to Lake Huron and there’s a perfect breeze from the water to the campsite to keep all of the bugs away. Very peaceful and the campsites are very private and quiet. Happily surprised and will be back! Very dog friendly, great hiking trails, and the beach is very sandy!

  Magnus Park Campground

  Magus Park Great location

  Great location, right on the lake and awesome views. Also very convenient to North country Trail to ride or run up and down the Lakeshore on a paved path! Very close to town to walk in and see the sites. Stayed by the water treatment plant and I wouldn’t recommend the West End as you could smell the treatments. Bathrooms were clean and convenient location. Spaces were extremely close together! Many people stayed for the whole summer. It seemed like.

  Hartwick Pines State Park Campground

  Very nice and well maintained campground. Bath house facilities were very clean, and campsites were fairly spaced, giving decent privacy. There are some activities in the area related to the park. All in all a very nice State Park campground.

  Mackinaw City / Mackinac Island KOA

  Great park near Mackinac Island ferries

  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.

  Castle Rock Lakefront Mackinac Trail Campground

  Great campground on Lake Huron

  Certainly! Here’s a review for the campground:

  ---

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful campground next to Lake Huron, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful lake views and easy beach access that made our stay truly memorable. The rates were very reasonable, providing great value for the exceptional amenities offered.

  One of the highlights of our visit was the recreation and game area, which kept the whole family entertained. The facilities were well-maintained and offered a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy.

  What truly set this campground apart, though, was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I was particularly touched by their kindness and attentiveness when my youngest daughter fell ill. They went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and that we had everything we needed.

  Overall, I highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable, and family-friendly place to stay by Lake Huron. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning!

  Favorite state park

  I love this state park. It is located right on beautiful lake charlevoix. The campground doesn't have any road noise. The beach is long and sandy and there are lots of hiking and biking trails.

  Otsego Lake County Park

  Great campground on Otsego Lake

  This is a great campground South of Gaylord on Otsego Lake. I believe all sites have electric. The park is beautiful with a many sites having lake views. The playground is the classic old playground with swings and slides and some big tires to climb on. The water was mostly sand with some rocks. The campground has 4 cabins to rent right on the lake.

  Big Bear Lake State Forest Campground

  State forest campground on Bear Lake

  A rustic campground right on Bear Lake. Most sites are directly on the water. There is a 4 foot breakwall between the sites and the lake. You could anchor your boat in front of your campsite.

  Onaway State Park Campground

  Pretty Campground In Fall

  We stayed here at the end of October. The campground was pretty empty. There are camp sites along Black Lake, which is the 7th largest lake in Michigan. The lake side campsites are very close together but you are right by the water's edge. There is a playground area with swings, sand pit and jungle bars. There is also a boat launch and small beach.

  Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping

  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.

  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.

  Conveniently located for drive through UP

  The campsites weren't particularly scenic, but relatively private. We ended up sleeping in the car because the ground was so wet due to rain.

  Burt Lake State Park Campground

  Great beach area, but camp sites pretty crowded.

  There is a fabulous beach with a big swimming area. Also large mowed grassy areas between the beach and the campground. When the campground is full, you are quite close to your neighbors in typical state campground style. It was well maintained with multiple toilet-shower houses.
