We averaged $60 / night for 3 nights for W/E50/S/I. Our dirt site was spacious, somewhat shady and the roads within the campground were smooth, wide and easy to travel. 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.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful. There are beautiful views of the lake, bridge and island. They have a shuttle to the ferry and a bike rental so you do not have to deal with rental on the island. There were fireworks on the weekends and lots of things for the kids to do. There is a great trail that you can use to ride into the city!

I checked in around 6pm and set up camp. 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.

First off, let me say that the customer service here was really great. Everyone we talked to was really friendly and helpful. 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.

First of all- this is one of the better campgrounds in the lower that you will have amazing views from and a wonderful experience. 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.

Mill Creek was the 1st stop on a month-long Upper Penninsula camping trip. 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?

HUGE campground with lots of amenities. We stayed in the narrow lake view spots and would highly recommend. Gorgeous views of Huron, the bridge and Mackinanc island. Site is small but there are hedges trees shrubs between each that definitely helped. Crap tons of kids out on bikes skateboards and just running around being kids. Really cool to have a fire on lake edge but claim your spot early!

Pro: very large campground with lots of amenities; big green park area right on Lake Michigan for viewing Mackinac Bridge; close to ferry to Mackinac Island & shuttle to ferry.
Con: no laundry( sites vary in size - ours was very narrow with nothing to separate sites next to you - very difficult for large RVs to back into; weeds in back of sites & around trees. 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
