Entrance to casino and hotelThe RV hookups are located along two sides of a remote parking lot - grass/gravel sites with water, 30/50 amp electric hookups, and a picnic table for $15 per night. The dump station is nearby.
Our view of the area
The building in the distance is the casino/hotel. We're parked in a quiet location away from those who come and go to the casino. We have access to all the amenities of the hotel.
St. Ignace is a small town of about 2400 people and is the second-oldest city founded by Europeans in Michigan. It's situated at the north end of the Mackinac Bridge. The main tourist area is along the shore of Lake Huron with many restaurants, motels, and ferry service to Mackinac Island; a boardwalk to a marina, lighthouse and city park; tourist shops and a state park.
This is our 3rd summer to visit this area. Our RV-Ham Radio friends, Dave & Charlotte, live about 20 miles west of here and we'll be getting together with them several times while we're in the area.
We had planned to stay here until August 26, but today we got word that we have to leave for two days this week because of a big entertainment event at the casino which requires the RV lot to be used for parking cars. Being in a tourist area and getting a last minute spot at a local campground at a low cost could have been a problem. The Moose Lodge just down the road has a few camping sites, so we asked them if we could use one of their campsites and they welcomed us to do so for $20 per night. Problem solved! We'll move there on Thursday morning, August 17 and return to the casino on Saturday, August 19. to finish out our time in St. Ignace.
