We love the Mackinaw campground. Karen has been our host for the last few years She is the best host we have every had and we look forward to seeing her when we go. She is very kind and friendly and makes check in easy for such a crowd as ours. She works hard to keep the area and bathrooms clean. We appreciate all she does for others. We have been going to Mackinaw for over 50 years for our family reunion and take up most of the campground. The ease of getting to the lake is awesome for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and just plain fun.

Best camping around! Karen is the best camp host I've met in such a long time. Very friendly, super helpful. She gave us some great tips on which lodge had the best resources and lovely and less crowded spots on the lake within walking distance. She keeps the bathrooms super clean and writes the funniest bathroom guidelines. Will absolutely stay here again.

We have stayed at Big Mackinaw Campground for several years. The past 2 years our camp host , Karen, has been friendly and helpful. She works hard to keep the area and restrooms clean. We appreciate all she does in making our stay a great experience!!

While on a road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northern Colorado in mid-August, 2021, we stayed at this campground for 1 night and had no problem finding a flat site on a Friday afternoon. The flush toilet restrooms were clean and well supplied with essentials. To our surprise, there was even a shower! For a few quarters we enjoyed an opportunity to freshen up. When you are on a road trip and staying in campgrounds it is not always easy to find a nice hot shower.

We just spent two days at Mackinaw campground at fish lake, and fish lake national Park. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful, there were no real critters to bother you and very minimal bugs. The leaves are just starting to change, in a week or two it will be incredibly beautiful, though I think the campground shut down September 15th. We stayed in the southernmost campground sites one through 14 of Mackinaw. The bathrooms are wonderful, and they even have paid showers, that are heated up and very clean, it's $0.50 a minute.

Great campground! I highly recommend. $20 a night for a regular camp with bathrooms, tables and showers. It is just a walk across the street to Fish Lake. Within 1/2 mile to the restaurant (that is actually open) and the lodge (opposite direction) that has ice cream, some groceries, fishing/camping supplies, etc. The camp hosts are really nice and help you check in, can supply you with firewood at $7 a way better deal than wood you buy in town before getting there. (1 bundle is plenty for a night, they are large bundles. ) I went and enjoyed the clear skies for the perseid meteor shower happening at the time.

Beautiful, well maintained, and serene! It gets pretty cold at night due to altitude so bring multiple layers! Such a fantastic experience! I'd give it a 6th star for the nighttime sky views. WOW!

If you like secluded and possibly haunted this place is for you. The bathrooms were clean and campground was quiet.
