About this property

Private Campsite - 4.5 Miles From DOWNTOWN Mackinaw City

Privately hosted campsite in Carp Lake, MI

Perfect for small tent/RV. No hookups at this time. This is a bare bones campsite; you will need to bring all your own essentials.

4.5 miles to downtown Mackinaw City

13 miles to St.Ignace

35 miles to Bois Blanc Island

Important: There is a camera on this property & the only outhouse is across the street at the golf course. And yes, we are in the woods so you will need to bring bug spray!

Please do not park on the concrete. You are welcome to put a small tent there but not a vehicle.
