My family and I just spent a week at your campground, and all of us had a really great time! With the rising cost of fuel, we had to cut some of our plans. However, your campground, being so close to Mackinaw City made it seem like we didn't miss a thing! Even on the days when we didn't leave the park, everyone found something to do, whether it was the pool, the lake, the arcade or just sitting around the campsite. This is our second year of camping with you, and we are looking forward to staying with you again next year.
