A very nice state park. We stayed in the Upper Falls camping area and used this for a base camp to explore Mackinac Is., Fort Michillimakinac, and Sault St. Marie, and a few other spots. Took a dinner cruise thru the locks. Food was just OK but the cruise was fun. Mackinac Is. was great. Take your bikes and do the island loop. 8 mi. but all flat and paved.
Also explored the park a bit. Saw the falls. Easy access. Trails paved except for 2 sets of stairs to view the larger upper falls from below. One set of 94 and the other was 114, I think.
Had a micro brewery restaurant in the park. Great beer batter fried Whitefish.
Campgrounds were clean but some folks were complaining about the lack of hot water in the showers. We used them but didn't have that problem. Reasonably clean. After Prophets Town and Little Bay de Noc, the campsites weren't all that private but it was still nice.
Another place I'd go back to. Make your reservations early. This place fills up fast.
