Car camp sites are small and not very private at all. Friendly staff and Bathrooms extremely clean with lots of mirror space. Showers were hot but the shower head was just a tube spraying water, those could definitely be updated. Lots of great destinations nearby. Delivery firewood, electric hookup and water spigot were very convenient

My first KOA in many years. Great crew running the place. Very clean. They have firewood delivered amongst other things to your campsite. Trash service on the morning. Also the local ferry service to the island will stop by on request, very convenient! Only issue was we were under the only oak tree in the entire complex in late September and the squirrels were chomping on the acorns and dropping them and the debris on the trailer roof, especially at night! Sounded like hail! So avoid Spot 49 during this time!

We came here for our first family trip and absolutely loved it! We will definitely be planning our trip here again for next summer. The campground is right next to Mackinaw City. The cabins are not too pricey either. We had the 4 person cabin with no bathrooms. The cabin was clean when we arrived and cozy for the stay. The bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily and kept up with well. We didn't use the pool but it looked very clean. They have a nice park with a cozy area to just hang out. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. 10/10 recommend.

We’re new to KOA campgrounds, but this location truly set the bar high. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive—everything from check-in to moving sites was handled smoothly and professionally. We really appreciated the text updates about campground happenings, and the shuttle to the ferry was super convenient and hassle-free. The laundry facilities were clean and easy to use, and the pool was a hit with our kids—perfect for swimming and burning off energy. Highly recommend this KOA for anyone visiting the area. A great experience from start to finish!

Had a great experience here. We arrived after the office had closed, but spoke with Jasmine ahead of time who explained the process for finding our lot. She was super nice. Check in the next morning was easy. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Most lots are shady, though, there are a few at the end of the campground that are unshaded. Didn't use the pool, but seemed to be well-kept. A few yard games like corn hole are available as well. All of the other guests were polite and evenings were quiet. Free shuttle to the ferry us available, which makes it super convenient. About 2 miles from downtown Mackinaw City restaurants, gift stores, groceries, and hardware. Overall, great experience and we will definitely stay again if we are in the area!

This is the nicest KOA we’ve camped at. The sites are spaced apart with maple trees between each site. Beautiful for Fall camping. The facilities get A+ on cleanliness, on enough showers, and on hot water in the showers! The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They have outdoor games for kids, bikes for rent, the bike trail runs close to the park, and they have a free shuttle to the ferry. We will definitely camp here again if we are in the area.

Super friendly staff. They make everything as convenient as they possibly can, from being able to text for a fire wood or ice delivery (that 5pm reminder text they send out is great when you’re not at camp and know you need firewood) to stepping out of the bathrooms while cleaning them if you absolutely cannot wait for them to be done - without attitude or hesitation. They are willing to keep your card on file so you can easily purchase anything you might need without having to run to grab your wallet. Nice clean sites. This is hands down the best campground we’ve ever stayed at, and we’re up in the multiple hundreds in campground counts. All the little things they do make it above average. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Nice place but hard to get ahold of someone by phone and office closes at 6.
