Thank you for your interest in staying with St. Ignace / Mackinac Island KOA!
For the 2023 season, we've added an additional Deluxe Cabin, Glamping tents, a Jumping Pillow and a Basketball (half)court. There will be no pool, as that area has been converted into a recreation space with exciting amenities.
Located at the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron converge, St. Ignace/Mackinac Island KOA provides a terrific north-woods basecamp. This waterfront town is the gateway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a swath of pristine forests and jeweled lakes. Travel through the gorgeous Upper peninsula and visit Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Soo Locks, Shipwreck Museum and Pictured Rocks. There is so much more for you to explore in this pristine landscape.
Take advantage of the free shuttle from our KOA to the ferry docks that takes you to gorgeous Mackinac Island, where bicycles and horse and buggies are the only forms of transportation. Families love the area's beaches, lighthouse tours and state historic parks, complete with 18th-century forts and costumed interpreters. Buy your FERRY tickets at DISCOUNTED rates at our store. You pay less at our store than buying at the dock or online from the Ferry companies. Avoid long lines at the ferry - you can buy Shepler's or Mackinac Island Ferry Company's (Starline) ferry tickets at our store, AND also use the FREE shuttle to the ferry.
Once you are ready to go, you can call the shuttle service number or inform our front desk and we will be happy to schedule it for you.
