IGNACE ($4 bridge toll) 35 MILES TO BOIS BLANC ISLAND IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE BOOKING! Hey Friends So… we inherited this property and when we did, it was kind of a mess. We’ve been working really hard to restore it so that we can turn it into a nice private campground but we haven’t made it to that point just yet. If you don’t mind the mini-construction site in the background you can have a nice private campsite for the night and be really close to Mackinaw City while you’re there. The site does not currently have water or electric hookups. We are working on building a fire pit, in the meantime you may have a fire if you have your own pit/solo stove. Please do not park on the concrete. You are welcome to put a small tent there but not a vehicle. IMPORTANT: THERE IS A CAMERA ON THE PROPERTY AT THE VERY FRONT ENTRANCE. ## Property amenities ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Safety features -
