I’ve been to all kinds of RV parks over the years and know what I like and don’t like when it comes to atmosphere and amenities. I enjoyed my stay at Tee Pee Campground because of it’s location on the water. Here Joe Cooley and Doras Weinley (wearing red) greet and assist customers like they are family. Like most Michigan RV parks Tee Pee Campground is open for business from May through October. Joe and Gene Cooley purchased Tee Pee Campground in partnership with Jo’s parents in 1969. Since then they have been helping campers enjoy the Mackinac City area providing a campground with a spectacular view of the Mackinac Bridge, clean facilities and loads of fun. A free shuttle service will pick you up at the campground office and take you to and from the Mackinac Island ferry. A visit to the island where motorized vehicles are replaced with horse drawn carriages and bicycles is a must-see attraction. The campground has 30 amps and water (no sewer - a dump station is provided). I enjoyed the group campfire on the beach where you can view passing boats and the bridge lights. This is the place to stay at the gateway to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

Are you going to the UP? Please post any campgrounds in the area that are nice. Tried to plan a trip there this summer but had trouble finding adequate facilities.
Yes, I've already been to the UP. There are several casinos with hook-ups. In Sault Ste. Marie the city has a nice campground and the Elks lodge also has sites both campgrounds right on the water. Be sure to take the boat tour. I'll be doing stories with videos on these areas soon.
In Munising, MI where you can take the vary nice "Pictured Rocks Cruise" there is a nice wooded Good Sam campground called Wandering Wheels. There is also a state campground nearby. Lots of availability in the campgrounds in the UP this summer. They all report down attendance (around 40% down) - which means you won't need a reservation.
I wouldn't take you RV (unless it's small)up to Copper Harbor because the tree branches will work havoc with larger rigs. We stayed at a Casino in Baraga, MI ($15 a night full hook-ups) and drove our toad to Copper Harbor. We don't gamble so we look at casinos as a cheap campground. However, they can be noisy sometimes (bring ear plugs). Jim
Due to technical reasons, the webcast scheduled for Wednesday, March 17 with Jim Twamley has been postponed to a later time.
