Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping has a great holiday gift idea for those hard to shop for campers on your Christmas list - a gift certificate for camping!

Perfect for Christmas, anniversaries, birthdays, retirement, graduation, you name it, a gift certificate for camping is a way to not only give a gift, but to also give someone memories that they can treasure forever.
You choose the amount of a gift you would like to give and the camp creates a gift certificate your camper can use for camping at Michigan's favorite family friendly campground on the Straits of Mackinac.

As you will see, it was an unseasonably cool and blustery day for July, but that didn't stop hundreds of campers and participants from having a great time!

It was a bittersweet 50th Anniversary celebration. We all wished that Richard and Rose Rogala (our parents and founders of the campground) were here to experience the excitement and to meet all the campers, family and friends who came to help us mark the occasion!
