Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping

Award Winning Campground

As one of northern Michigan's most popular campgrounds, Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping has received many awards. We were voted "Michigan's Favorite Campground" by TV 9 & 10 viewers. The Detroit News named Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping as one of Michigan's "Top Family Friendly Campground."

All Types of Camp Sites

The campground offers sites for every type of camper. Everything from popular cabin rentals to lakefront RV sites with full hookups. We even have sites for those just wanting to pitch a tent. Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping has something for everyone seeking to enjoy northern Michigan's great outdoors!

Natural Setting & Beautiful Views

Inspired by the great national parks, Richard and Rose Rogala designed Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping in their spirit. The camp is surrounded by thousands of acres of wilderness. Don't expect asphalt or concrete on a groomed site. We let the indigenous plants and wildflowers grow everywhere possible. Little wild areas through out the park host ground nesting birds. The wildflowers feed the bees. It is all part of our continuing philosophy of sharing this amazing location with mother nature.

Campground guests enjoy a spectacular natural setting on the shores of Lake Huron. Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping is situated on a mile of lakefront, viewing the Straits of Mackinac. From our natural beaches you'll be able to view the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. You'll also be able to see Mackinaw City, St. Ignace, Round Island and Bois Blanc Island.

Conveniently Located

We are located only 5 minutes from the Mackinac Island Ferry Docks and downtown Mackinaw City. Mackinaw City is the location of Fort Michilimackinac, a National Historic Landmark and State Park. The Fort brings the 18th century back to life with real cannon and musket firings! We are only a half mile from Mill Creek Discovery Park and it's zip line, climbing wall and Revolutionary War period water powered saw mill. Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping is an hour and a half from Tahquamenon Falls, the Soo Locks and many attractions in the Upper Peninsula.

Summer Season

During the height of the season, our camp strives to create a warm and communal atmosphere. Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping is a place where you can make new friends and enjoy the diverse community of other campers.

Spring and Fall

For those seeking a more solitary experience in nature, we recommend scheduling your visit in the Spring or Fall. Good times to avoid the crowds are usually in May and early June or Mid-September through October (weather permitting).

We drove 5 hours to Mackinaw City for the Richard Crane Memorial truck show, upon arrival to our motel we discovered our room was sold out from under us for more money than what we booked for. After several phone calls and trips to other hotels, my husband called Mackinaw Mill Creek to try to get a cabin for the night. Adam answered the phone and was very helpful. He told us our options for rentals at the campground but since we were planning on staying at a motel we didn't have any bedding or other necessities needed for camping. He told us that the campground just got a motel and he could get us a room for $99 (our original motel was $79 and since our room was sold out from under us, the other motels/hotel in town wanted $199+ for the night) Our room that Adam booked for us was WONDERFUL! The motel was clean and quiet and only a few miles from town. Check in and out was quick and easy and all the staff we encountered were polite. Thank you Adam and Mackinaw Mill Creek for saving our vacation.
