We have been camping here for three years and will keep coming back. I have to say my favorite thing about Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping is the openness and friendliness of the people who work there. It's great to see people who still care in the world. I like the updated bathrooms near the store this year. I'd like to see them do the same thing with the outhouse bathrooms, but the bathrooms by the store look great!
