Really cool spot! Host said we could take any site since we were the only ones there! It was too dark to find the beach site but after walking over to it, it was beautiful. Highly recommend if you need to stay in the area!

Peterman Farm is a beautiful spot! It's a very peaceful location on a dead-end road with no neighbors near the farmhouse. The views are lovely: rolling hills, beautiful sunsets and visiting deer. This was the perfect place to camp. Don't miss out on this spot!

4 nights at Hidden Meadow

Jeannie & I loved Phil & Stormy's Place. It was quiet this time of year, and we were lucky to be the only folks at their Camp. They definitely had made it their own, and have great amenities. Firewood & Firepit, 30 amp service, a water hose , picnic table & dry kindling.. 2 Porta Potties on site, and a RV cleanout. Great Wooden games around the site for folks enjoyment. Phil is a world renown Game maker who makes Games and interesting items, which he makes in his shop on site. Sends it all around the world. Besides meeting Phil and Chit chatting, because we are both Hip Camp Hosts, Phil gave us a tour of his Shop and woodworking area. Pretty impressive. He was a great host, and is Passionate about Kubb, a Yard game that was originally played overseas, but because of Phi, brought the game to the US. He actually has his own playing field. We plan on visiting again, as we loved the vibe

Weekend Trip to Tiki Hut Yurts

The yurts were SO cute! The lights were gorgeous and the bathrooms were way more than I expected (a full private bathroom!). The space heater kept us VERY cozy. We were far away enough from our neighbors that we didn’t see or hear anyone else at night. Everything here was great and we highly recommend staying here!!

Ted is an incredibly wonderful person. Everything about his place is wonderful and his hospitality goes above and beyond expectation. I will definitely be back and will encourage others to visit as well. You don't meet very many people like this guy, and when you do, not only do you find a great place to camp but you also find a friend as well.

Weekend Trip to Just Show Up Camping

I loved the view! Granted it was very windy the day I stayed there so that’s something to consider since your by lake. Very easy to get to the site and overall pretty clean. Had some clutter here and there but not a big deal. My only major critique is one, maybe put stone down on the path to the beach because it had really deep ruts and it was very muddy. I got my car stuck quite a few times. The other is the shower water did not really get warm. Again, not the end of the world but addressing those few things would make the site even better than it already is. Overall I’d give it an 8/10

My family loved camping at Sandra's campsite! Her Yurt tents were wonderful! It was very peaceful being tucked in the woods with gorgeous lights in and around the tent. Sites are far enough apart so you are able to relax on your own. Yurt tents had comfortable beds, lights, coffee makers, heater/fan, and wood delivered daily. Everything was perfect

We (39') are parallel to the road facing the electrical connections, grill, and campfire.

Perfect spot to explore the area, just 5 minutes to Mackinaw City and the bridge, Todd was very accommodating, allowing 2 RV’s to stay. 45’ truck/trailer(need to back in-no issues) and. 25’ Class C. Site has power (50/30/20) and very nicely fixed up just like your backyard deck. Couldn’t ask for a nicer place to return to after a day of exploring.

The best camping in Straits State Park, MI guide

Overview

About

The image of The Mackinac Bridge stretching its spine over Lake Huron is postcard worthy. The rad part? This epic postcard image will follow you from the hiking trails, to the campgrounds or the viewing platform. Enjoy the relaxing views of boats slowly traveling under the bridge from the shoreline picnic area. Mackinac Island is a sweet four mile ferry ride where you can hit up the gift shop and exit to the restaurant. A common destination among campers is the Tahquamenon Falls (because not chasing waterfalls is so outdated). There are two huge group use areas for day use and a modern campsite with full-hookups and stacked with over two hundred and fifty spots. There are only fifteen waterfront sites so be sure to call ahead to get the site you want!

Very nice private campsite

26 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

Straits Campground

We really don’t have anything to add to the other excellent reviews. Responsive, friendly, helpful host. Impeccable directions to get there and find our site. Awesome little private campground, full of nice touches (free firewood and a sealed tote of dry kindling, garbage can, picnic table with umbrella, raised fire ring with grate, potties and shower, and fun looking yard games which we sadly did not have time for). Very clean and tidy, even though the area recently had horrible ice storms. Oh, and electric and water hookups! Sewer dump on site as well. We only used it as a sleepover spot while traveling, but we would definitely go back there to stay if we make it back to visit the area. It’s also only a few minutes from hwy 75 for convenience.

Straits Campground

Great lakeside location just over the Mackinac bridge and less than 5 minutes from St Ignace. Camped here for a night on our way to Taquemenon Falls on a summer Thursday and enjoyed our stay. Sites were nicely spaced even with 2 cars on one site. 2 picnic tables and a fire pit per site. They were set up in a loop with the bathrooms in the middle. There are a few 1 bedroom cabins available as well.
