St. Ignace / Mackinac Island KOA

Taking an RV rental vacation in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is the dream of many Midwesterners. Far from the crowds in the southern part of the state, the U.P., as it’s called, offers solitude and a chance to connect with nature, and all it takes to get there is a short drive over the Mackinac Bridge that connects Michigan’s two sections.

At the northern end of the bridge is the St. Ignace/Mackinac Island KOA, one of the area's best places for camping with an RV. It’s conveniently located near the intersection of Interstate 75 and Highway 2, which makes getting around the U.P. a whole lot easier and provides easier access to the state’s Lower Peninsula should you have the need to return to civilization. When you’re camping at St. Ignace/Mackinac Island KOA you’ll have some great amenities too, like a swimming pool, mini-golf course, a dog park, bicycle rentals, and laundry facilities. Brought along a larger rental RV? St. Ignace/Mackinac Island KOA has 120-foot-long sites, more than enough to accommodate just about any rig.

The campground also offers a free shuttle to the Mackinac Island ferry, which is quite useful since no vehicles are permitted on the island and you’d need to leave your campervan rental in the ferry terminal parking lot. There’s also a shuttle to the casino north of St. Ignace.
