"Close to food and fuel. Easy pull through sites. Check in is currently across the street at the hotel. Masks are required in the hotel/casino. Good sites. Decent park."
"Close to the water and even closer to the casino. We used this as a base for seeing sites, mainly the locks. A bit wet while we were there but not to bad. The staff at the casino is nice and helpful."

"I wouldn't try driving anything much bigger to this end of the trail. I did see a vehicle pull one of those boxy 20' camping trailers into a campsite up the road."
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.
TravelerAfter a long drive, we chose the spot to stay in overnight after arriving we realize that the spot was very full with a group of weekend writers who were enjoying their weekend and were a little curious as to why we pulled in. Needless to say we did not stay long so we did not interrupt their evening and make them feel any more comfortable than they already seem to be. We were approached twice to see what we were doing and if we were ok. Everything was ok until we left and they followed us. I really don’t think they meant any ill will but I feel everyone was a little uncomfortable. With that said, it seems as though it is a very well known area and definitely used in holiday weekends! It is very dark with plenty of light from the military base right there.
LegendNice campground, friendly staff. The campground I stayed in had grass sites with picnic tables and fire ring. Central hydrants. “Kitchen Sink” for use at the latrine. The individual shower stalls are very clean and can get a little steamy. There is an easy trail through the park that takes you to two overlooks. St Ignace is a few minutes away.
It’s a toss up, nice weather = midges, cold weather = wind and cold. My first day was cold, rainy and windy. Second day was nice and sunny.
Scoutif you go there it’s mostly cedar and the swarms of skeeters are pretty bad, we did not stay we moved on just be aware
GuideMany sites are right on water. Empty in late May, even on Saturday night. Road noise is not an issue.
