Tee Pee Campground

 We stayed for one Monday night on our way to the Porkies. 

This is an established campground. The sites are tight, most have no bushes/trees. We were lucky on our right side to have some privacy. The perimeter sites back into a chain link fence that has a view of the woods. This is on both sides of the campground. 

The bathrooms/showers were clean. The showers had 2 large lips to step over. My mobility challenged husband had some trouble. 

The best sites are 26,27,28,76&77. These sites are right by the beach & have great views. 27 looked like it didn't have electricity & might be a tent site. Strangely, 26 & 27 were empty the night we were there. 

The beach is small & you can swim there. There's no pool. There's several swings & benches to sit & look at the water. There's a game room by the store.

I did like this campground. It reminded me of what camping must have been like in the 50s/60s. A retro feel to it.

After 6 hours drive we were super giddy and excited to camp in mackinaw and stargaze and it all changed as soon as we got into this place. From being all smiles to night ruined and feeling down. Here’s what happened, we pulled into the entrance and drove past the check in office. Never being at this location I decided to look at our site and that was a huge mistake. I assume the owner of the property pulled up in the gator and cut off my vehicle. Jumped out and immediately started berating me over passing the office and going passed the 5mph speed limit. I immediately apologized and said I’d come back to the office but that did not satisfy his appetite for confrontation. He continued to yell that I need to“stop at the damn office” and if I“know how to read”. After he drove off the family all shocked agreed we were no longer comfortable staying there. We proceeded to drive up to the office and tell him we were no longer interested in staying at the site. He asked why I had a chance of heart I told him the way he talked to us was not ok and then he began to yell over me and told me that MAYBE he’ll refund me one day worth of deposit. I then asked for a receipt showing that I requested the cancellation. That set him off he started going on a tirade that I don’t belong there anyway and that he didn’t want me there from the moment he seen me. I asked him to stop acting like a child and to learn to run a business at that point he got out of his seat and rushed me like he wanted to fight. He told me I’d better leave or he will call the police. At that point I walked away and he followed me out the door and said I’ll find it where you’re staying tonight and took pictures of our vehicle. I hate to say this but I have a weird feeling he doesn’t like me because I was Hispanic. His response was so unprovoked and disproportionate to the situation AND I strongly caution anyone that wants to come here to think again. Btw the camp site itself was not what I expected we ended up staying at mill creek and the people and staff there where phenomenal with a huge selection of camping much cleaner and more space in between camp spots…..DO YOUR FAMILY A SERVICE AND GO TO MILL CREEK AVOID TEE PEE. Will upload the video of the confrontation on YouTube and tik tok thanks for reading

The sites are decently sized and come equipped with a fire pit. The showers had decent shower heads and lots of pressure. There are some swings dow by the lake for adults and kids. Everything is nearby (not really walkable) and the shuttle for Mackinac Island ferries will come pick you up. They do not have full hookups, but we got by fine for a week since we have a composting toilet.

There is a small play scape feature by the lake. Plenty of folks tent camping as well as RVs. The campground has been here for quite a while and has mature trees. A small game room at the office features a pool table, air hockey, and a modern pinball machine.
