Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping

Reserve now for Labor Day and July 4th Weekend 2012

by

An early reservation is recommended for campers who want a camp site or cabin at Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping for July 4th and Labor Day 2012.  Many people travel with family and friends and getting sites for groups that are "close together" gets tough to do as the summer approaches. At this point we still have vacancies, however, folks to return annually for these weekends put their reservations in before they leave the camp each year. By the way, if you don't like seeing and being around lots of folks, don't camp here (or anywhere) on these holiday two weekends.  The communal summer experience of camping with a large group of other folks is something special that many people enjoy. If you are the type of person who desires a solitary camping experience, try us in May or early June, late August, September (not Labor Day weekend) or October and make sure to ask for a site away from other people.

Mackinaw Mill Creek Camp Announces It’s New News Blog

by

The Rogala Family, builders, owners and operators of Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping announced the founding of a new News Blog for the park. Located at https://www.campmackinaw.com/news/camp-news/, the page will post information regarding upgrades, new features, notable events, local events and anything of general interest regarding the campground.

Currently, Frank Rogala, webmaster for campmackinaw.com (the camp's web page) has just completed a revamping of the slideshow demonstrating how the campground's Icopod was assembled.

The Icopod was designed for the homeless and disaster relief, but it could be so much more. Made of "temporary" materials, we have an Icopod that has lasted through 7 Michigan Winters and is still watertight and cozy.

We have been contacted by FEMA and CNN and members of our government's special forces regarding the Icopod that our campers can rent and learn about. Engineering, design and mathematics students all love seeing this real, "in the field" application of so many basic concepts. Time Magazine names the Icopod "The Invention of the Year" in 2002, yet no major organization has implemented their use. Millions of cold, drafty, tents are still purchased each year by relief organizations when a safe, warm, healthy and, if maintained, fairly permanent solution is here. Not to mention http://www.foldedhomes.com/ also has a similar design for an equally useful but cheaper and simpler Tek - Yurt.
