Straits State Park is pretty, with some sites on the shore of Lake Huron.

There is a state forest campground (no hook up) right near St. Ignace that is wonderful! It's Foley Creek State Forest - very pretty, not far from town.

Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned I'm looking for full hookups. It looks like Straits State Park has full hookups....is that correct?

No. For full hookups you could try Mackinac Mill Creek in Mackinac City. They have full hookups with a great view of the bridge.

No, as with most Michigan state parks it's electric only.
If you need full hookups there is Mill Creek just south of Mackinaw City (however the "bridge view" full hookups are really cramped, ask for the new larger ones) as well as a KOA on either side of the bridge.
Frankly, if you can get by with electric only and just use the dump station Straits State Park is the best.

This person's opinion is that if you can get by with just electric, Wilderness State Park is the best. Sorry Bon ;-)

If you aren't looking to entertain the kids, we are staying at Tiki RV Park in St Ignace. Nice little cg with real friendly staff, clean restrooms. Sites aren't any closer than the state parks, and less crowded. Paid $27 for full hookups. Strait State Park has elec only for $26, they are booked currently, as is all the state parks near the water.

Actually I would agree with you but figured he wanted to stay above the bridge if at all possible.

Thanks for all the input. If I was only staying 2-3 days, I'd check out the state parks. But we're planning on at least a week, so will be checking out the commercial campgrounds. Mill Creek looks very nice as does Tiki. Thanks again for your help.
