Dog kennels are available for the safe keeping of your dog during your stay at Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping.

Dogs left unattended in campers get frightened, bark and disturb or even injure other campers. Your pup doesn't want to be left alone all day at your campsite (besides that, our park rules prohibit leaving dogs unattended). He is on vacation, too. Let him spend a safe day in the care of one of our area kennels.

I will be staying from September 24-30.Will I need to make reservations for the kennel before I come, or can I make reservations as needed while I am there? I frequently do day trips while camping, and would hate to board my dog for the whole week. I would need just a few hours in a day like when I go to Sunday mass. Thank you.

It is probably best to make a call to a kennel in our area before you arrive to make sure they can accommodate you or refer you to someone who can. We don’t operate a kennel, although sometimes staff members will do dog sitting if it works with their schedule. Thank you for being responsible and thinking of your dog. Being alone in a strange place is stressful for them and a kennel is a great option! That time of year is generally slower so you should not have a problem finding a kennel to accommodate you.

My family and I stayed from July 17 through July 20, 2014. What an EXCELLENT experience!

This was the first camping trip we took with full hook ups with the new 26ft travel trailer. Our site was pretty nice. We did not plan well and booked in May. This still left us with many options. Your staff was very patient and helpful in working with us to select a good site. It was a bit narrow, but we knew that going in. Your staff provided dimensions of all sites available so we could pick a proper site. We were on the outside of loop 2.

Your amenities were great. We used the beach, playground, and biked the campground a lot. The camp store had good selections, too. We especially liked the option to purchase ferry tickets at the store. The ferry shuttle was incredibly convenient.

And those bathroom facilities. WOW!!!!!
One person in our group used the bathroom at 10pm at night. And you had staff cleaning it. (Who does that?) I have never been to a campground with SUCH CLEAN BATHROOM FACILITIES.
The showers were also immaculate. White shower curtains with no mildew. Again, who does that?!?!?!
The mood music was a nice touch.

Your patience in our later arrival was much appreciated. And as one of our neighboring campers put it: backing your camper in at 10pm in the dark is like a spectator sport. But they also were very helpful.

Kudos on your grounds. The area between the camp road and lake was such a great public space. We got in a little nap time while watching boats go by and knitting. It was a beautiful setting.

We didn't partake in the hay wagon or fire engine rides, but that was also activity for kids.

Thanks again for such great hospitality!
