Our Campground Stay:
Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping is a large, family and dog-friendly campground on over 200 acres with a mile of shoreline on Lake Huron. With a natural setting, walking trails and beautiful shoreline picnic/sitting areas, this northern Michigan RV stay is a hidden gem in northern Michigan. We chose an oversized lot with plenty of room for the dogs. There are many sites with lake views, and we expect they book up quickly. The campground is about 3 miles from Mackinaw City. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the campground with views of the Mackinac Bridge. Mackinac Island is a short ferry ride from Mackinaw City.
What to do:
Take a ferry to Mackinac Island for a fun-filled day on this historic island. Explore the island by bicycle or horse carriage. Bring the dogs along on the dog friendly Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry. Catch for first ferry out to avoid the crowds, especially on weekends. Stop at the dog-friendly Watercolor Café for coffee and breakfast. Visit historic Fort Mackinac. Walk to the Grand Hotel and then back to town along the shoreline. Stop for lunch at the dog-friendly Great Turtle Brewery and Distillery.
In Mackinaw City, explore the shops and restaurants. Check out what’s on tap at the Rusted Spoke Brewing Company. Try your luck at the Odawa Casina.
Chili & Cedar’s Review: 4.8 Paws (out of 5 paws)
Mackinaw Mill Camping was one of our favorite campgrounds. Plenty of space to play, walking trails, beaches for watching the sunset or swimming. We also liked our ferry ride to Mackinac Island and our stroll around the dog-friendly island. We stopped for breakfast at the Watercolor Cafe and for lunch at the Great Turtle Brewing & Distillery.
