What was bad were the midges. They are horrible this time of year and made it unbearable to be outside. If you had a site more inland then it wasn’t too bad. The other reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars is the site maintenance. Would have been nice to mow the grass and not walk around in 6” high grass.

This is a huge campground and a unique thing was that the directions to our site was printed on the tag for our car. The free internet service was very good. Our sites was very unlevel. It sloped 6 to 8 inches between our rear and front tires so leveling was a challenge. For $60 / night, I expect a more level site.This campground is only 3 miles from Mackinaw City where a ferry can take visitors to Mackinaw Island. We had done that on a previous trip so we visited the Mackinaw Bridge Museum and the Headlands International Dark Sky Park.

This place is huge and hard to find your way around, especially at night. At 10pm I needed to use the rest room so I walked to the the nearest one. I located it during daylight so I had no trouble getting there. However, on the way back, I ran across a group of 6 boys (early teens) on their bmx bikes. They decided to make a game of who can get the closest to me at the fastest speed. They were coming inches from hitting me. I turned on my cell phone light so I could see the road and they accused me of video taping them and one stopped to take my phone from me. I ran into the trees and hid. When I came out, I must have turned around because I was more than an hour trying to find my way back to my site. Finally some campers came out to help me.I am 66 years old and have never felt more unsafe. There is too little lighting over the street letters and it’s very easy to get lost. Quiet hours are after 10 but these boys were very loud way closer to midnight and no security officers were to be found. I was quite shaken but security didn’t seem to care since I “was now back to my site”. I was booked for 2 nights but left after the first one.

This campground just didn't fit our own personal comforts. It was by far the biggest campground we'd every stayed in - like a camping city. We had to use the map to get in and out of our camp site. We booked a large site, which was smaller than expected, just a typical site fairly close to neighboring campers. I didn't feel comfortable at all letting my kids ride their bikes or explore here just because of the sheer size and number of people/cars. We actually booked 3 nights and ended up leaving a day early just because we were ready to move on.

If you want isolated large sites, parties, and excellent cell or cable- go elsewhere. This is remote with limited reception, even their premium WiFi sucks. The sites are cramped, even our pull thru was snug side to side but that’s fine, we brought our own solo stove fire pit and managed to move ourselves around and use the entire length. The views and the proximity to scenery is amazing. Five minutes and you’re on the bridge. We hardly stayed at the campground during the day, woke up and went off adventuring. There’s plenty to see over and in town, avoid the crowds and you’ll be happy. I will say the people here neee to learn more manners, I can’t count how many kids I yelled at for dumping their bikes on our site; I would’ve just backed over them but the parents moved them.

And Mill Creek was a wonderful start.The campground, which is huge and has over 600 sites, is privately owned. It stretches along the south shore of ths Straits of Mackinac, providing great views of Mackinac Island and the Mackinac Bridge. Much of the shoreline is open parkland, rather than campsites, which gives everyone equal access.There is a camp store for for some food/beverage items as well as some camping items. They also offer discount Mackinac Island ferry tickets. Free wifi is available for calls and texting. If you want streaming, you have to upgrade for $3.99 per day (at the time we were there).The sites are adequate in size and mostly surrounded by trees and shrubs, providing some privacy. But they are still a little close to other campers.Overall, this is a nice place to set up your camped as a base while you visit Mackinac Island and the area?

No one to direct you to site. Staff: met some who were nice but one staff gave us wrong information regarding shuttle & supervisor rude & yelled at us for standing in wrong spot to board shuttle. We left Campground one day early because of unhelpful & rude response to our needs. Few to no bars with Verizon

Yes, the super saver sites are further from the best amenities like showers/flush toilets, but you still have access to them—it’s just a walk or short drive away and there’s ample parking in front of the amenities area. All staff were very friendly. This was my first experience with a private campground, and I would absolutely return again.

Fully supplied camping store with food and drinks/alcohol. Only drawback for me is I stayed on the beach and with heavy rains this year the bugs were a bit overwhelming. Did not appear to be as bad the farther from the beach you went. Just something to consider that a screen tent may be needed if you want to sit outside, but that will be the case anywhere in the UP area. Perfect launch point to anything in the UP

This campground is huge! Make sure you use the map to navigate around, it is necessary. The campground is off Hwy 23. Very easy to find and roads in are paved. There is a secondary entrance when you are driving north, but you will want to use the main entrance further down the road towards Cheboygan for check-in. The secondary entrance was closed when we were there, but it would be nice to use as it can be a haul to get to the exit depending on where your campsite is located. We opted for the small, 30-amp hookup sites. They are recommended for units under 32 feet and I would agree with that assessment. We fit fine with our 30 ft travel trailer and had enough room for the truck. The sites in that area are a bit closer together than some of the bigger sites, but we did not have any trouble. The site was fairly level as well. We were only about 50 yards from the water. They have benches and swings available near the water’s edge. On that side of the campground there is only one small area of “beach”. However, there is an amazing view of the Mackinac Bridge from that side. If you want a beach, you want the other side of the campground. Either way it’s beautiful. The campground offers many different site options and different price points, so you can tailor what you need versus cost easily. The options were almost too many because it was hard to decide and the map on the website doesn’t do a great job of telling you were the sites are located. But that is because it is so big, the map cannot really show each individual site. We were very happy with our site and its location. If we ever stayed here again we would possibly shell out more money for one right on the water as those had a bit more privacy. Not all sites have full hook-ups, but they have water spigots at various locations and they have a dump station. Mackinaw City has a few small stores for essentials, but if you need more than that there is a Walmart in nearby Cheboygan. We had decent cell phone reception while there. We had about 2-3 bars of 4G LTE for the Verizon hotspot and about 3-4 bars of 4G LTE on the AT&T. If you stay here, you must visit Mackinac Island. The campground has two spots where the ferry company picks you up to take to the ferry dock. You can also buy your tickets from the campground which is convenient. We took our bikes on the ferry as well and was able to get those tickets as well from the campground. The shuttle has room for the bikes and it is a good way to see the island. The campground is big enough too that biking around it is nice and scenic. We also spent some time by the water with our hammocks! They have great trees for that near the water. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a very reasonable price. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.
