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).

To you who made it what it is:

This letter is long overdue. When we first came through your entrance some ten years ago we had no idea what an influence your campground was destined to have on us. No idea of how often we would find ourselves thinking of all you have to offer here, and how fervently we'd wish to sample it all again. And then again. And we did. Often. Sometimes just for a night when enroute somewhere ... sometimes for a short weekend that business pressures allowed us to steal. Your campground became a "magic" name for us. I think it will always remain so. Even now we have moved our permanent home to Scottsdale, AZ. We've traveled and camped 36 of our states. . . as well as five the the Canadian provinces and we can say to you in all honesty that nowhere have we ever found a campground that even comes close to what you have here on the waters of the legend-haunted Straits. And we know, just from having been here so often over the years, that it didn't just "happen." It took a lot of hard work and TLC to create this unique park. Just as it takes a lot of work and TLC to preserve it. We personally thank you each time we drive in or out. I am sure there are hundreds of others who feel just as we do. Perhaps this letter can speak for all of them. Thanks again for being in the right place at the right time. Sincerely,
