swampy area. Watch out for blackflies. Bring the bug spray!! Tried hiking with small kids there— lots of mountain bikers on the trails.
Beautiful stargazing from the beach. We saw northern lights for the first time!! Disappointed no dogs on beach but it is necessary to preserve nesting habitat for endangered birds. Well maintained. Nice location near Mackinac City. Our kids have rated this in their top 3 best so far in Michigan. (Low key beach won them over).
Beware of poison ivy- it is everywhere. Extremely disappointed to find it all over the campground and site— but our site was fantastic. Couldn’t have had a better time at this park. Disgusted by rude people washing dishes/leaving food debris and washing sand off their feet in public water spigots at the campground. Book early— it fills up fast!!
The beach was so much fun. Crystal clear water, sugar sand, and tons of Petoskey stones if you know where to look.
