"We stayed at your campground the week of July 4th 2012 on a lakefront site. The views were absolutely beautiful. The attached photograph was taken of some fellow campers watching a fantastic and unusual sunset. We had the best time during our stay and thank you for your friendly staff and warm hospitality. We are looking very forward to staying with you again in the future."

"This was my second Labor Day walk of the Mighty Mac (2008). While my Pa (Bob) and I were just coming up to the start of the cables a man walked by us and said, "now that is a nice picture." I would like to find out who the man in the canoe is, as I would like to send him a copy of the picture. He was the only canoe out there this Labor Day."

"We're pretty sure we were in Row 4, first site facing the water. It had rained pretty good. While sitting at our kitchen table I couldn't believe what I saw after it had stopped! And with the geese in front. I ran out to get this shot before it left. As soon as I got back in, it was gone. Thanks for a wonderful stay at your lovely campground. Our first time visit to the area."

This photo is of the sunrise over the bay at Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping by camper Bill Moor. It was taken in the summer of 2004. Mr. Moor said the strange "other planet" look only lasted a few seconds. That is Bois Blanc Island under the sun.

"We were at Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping Sept 15-20, 2007. We stayed in a lovely lakefront cabin. This is one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen.

I've been camping at many campgrounds in the area, but none as lovely as this one."

To you who made it what it is:

This letter is long overdue. When we first came through your entrance some ten years ago we had no idea what an influence your campground was destined to have on us. No idea of how often we would find ourselves thinking of all you have to offer here, and how fervently we'd wish to sample it all again. And then again. And we did. Often. Sometimes just for a night when enroute somewhere ... sometimes for a short weekend that business pressures allowed us to steal. Your campground became a "magic" name for us. I think it will always remain so. Even now we have moved our permanent home to Scottsdale, AZ. We've traveled and camped 36 of our states. . . as well as five the the Canadian provinces and we can say to you in all honesty that nowhere have we ever found a campground that even comes close to what you have here on the waters of the legend-haunted Straits. And we know, just from having been here so often over the years, that it didn't just "happen." It took a lot of hard work and TLC to create this unique park. Just as it takes a lot of work and TLC to preserve it. We personally thank you each time we drive in or out. I am sure there are hundreds of others who feel just as we do. Perhaps this letter can speak for all of them. Thanks again for being in the right place at the right time. Sincerely,

Jack & Beth P. Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping February 24, 2016
