We stayed here July 23 and 24 as I was too tired to go the few extra miles to Mackinaw City and we had called the State Park office and they indicated that there was room for us for two nights. It had just stopped raining when we arrived and this campground is about 2.5 miles off the main highway. The last mile was a dirt road. This really made a mess on our Tahoe. We had many sites to choose from and we picked the last open waterfront site. I use that term loosely as the trees obscured the view of the water. It was very tight, but I managed to pack the motorhome on the site with 1 inch to spare. We had a full six inches between our Tahoe and the RV. I used pads under my tires on one side to assist in leveling the coach. We shared a 20 amp electrical panel with our neighbors. There was a nice swimming beach where you could launch a kayak in the park, but you had to drive to it as it was at least 2 miles away. It rained again while there and was a little muddy. We paid $24 per night and did not have to pay for the toed at this location. I rate this park F***.
We took a day trip one day to Mackinaw City and found some interesting shops in this cute little town. I purchased a wine holder and cross made from real elk antlers. Aggie sprung for a melamine spoon resting plate. We visited a museum dedicated mainly to construction of the 5 mile long Mackinaw Bridge. This bridge connects the northern section of Michigan with the southern section across Lake Superior. We parked and walked a park along the lake and watched vehicles travel along the bridge. We then visited Heritage Village, another free tourist attraction, which had refurbished buildings dating back to the 1800's. We did not take the boat over to Mackinaw Island, which is probably the main attraction here as we noticed people were lined up waiting for the next boat.
