Kewadin Casino St. Ignace

The casino has a large parking lot designated for RV parking. Along the edges are the hookup sites and if you are just boondocking, you're welcome to grab a spot along the other edge or in the middle. We are self sufficient on solar so we took a spot in the middle. The parking lot was slightly unlevel so we had to use our Anderson levelers, but were able to get level fairly easily.

Fresh water and a dump are on site and free to use. We did not need to check in as we weren't using a hookup site. We saw the shuttle drive by, but ultimately no one bothered us.

We unhooked and visited the area including Mackinac Island.

On Starlink, we received 6 down and 10 up. We only had 1 bar on our cell phones with Verizon, but with the cell antenna, we had 4. However, it was still unusable. With AT&T we had 5 bars (24/10).

The casino was very easy to deal with. No issues whatsoever.
The dump station was free and really decent.
The wifi worked well but you will need a Booster to reach it from the camp area.
We stayed in the main parking area but the farthest out possible to be sure to stay out of anyone's path.
Police patrol was observed from the city of St Ignace.
We wanted to eat at the restaurant, but it was only open weekends in October.
Easy on / off I75.
Recommend RV stop.

We (2 RVs) located our sites and when parked, went to the casino check in desk ti pay. The site we were in, #14, had just been paid for the next 4 nights and we were told to move. Only
other spaces were dry sites in the middle of the lot. We set up near our other RVers who were going to the Island the following morning. At no time during the 2 nights we stayed did anyone occupy site #14. Another camper left the 2nd morning and told us that they were leaving and we were able to get their site, but I never figured out what happened to site #14. Wifi was good.

This is essentially a parking lot with about 20 back-in sites around the edges of the lot. The sites are first come first serve and some are fairly unlevel. They will suit any size rig or rig combo. You are welcome to camp for free anywhere else in the lot. The paid sites ($15) are 20/30/50 amp; you can go to the hotel registration desk and they will give you a ticket to put in your vehicle. I don't recall if there was a water hookup, but there was potable water at the dump station. The dump station appears to be free and is towards the south corner of the lot. There was good Verizon and ATT service.

We stayed in site 13 because we wanted to run our air conditioning while we went over to the Island for the day. Overall it was pretty quiet and the sites filled up at night. The casino was fairly small, but plenty of gambling. This is definitely a good stop while passing through St. Ignace.

We completely forgot to plan for Labor Day weekend. We typically boondock, but of course all the free/cheap campgrounds in the area were already full. All RV parks in the area were also fully booked. This casino was really a saving grace for us. We really had no where else to go.

Sites with electric and water are $15 or you can park in the parking lot next to the sites for free. A paid site also gives you access to the pool area in the hotel. It’s a decent casino, and the pizza from the cafe was pretty good. The shuttle is free whether you’re in a paid spot or not. They dropped us off and picked us up at the ferry docks for our day on Mackinac Island.

Verizon speeds were better towards the center of the parking lot. Our last night we snagged site 21 and the speeds were very slow.

It really wasn’t a bad place to be stuck to wait out the holiday weekend crowds, but we were happy to leave the parking lot for somewhere a bit quieter and more scenic.
