Driving from Accord, NY to Mackinac Island area this July. I heard Mackinac Island is cool. My rv is 24 ft long and pulling a small car. Any rv parks near the ferry station? I know cars are not allowed on the island. Should I go up the coast and avoid I 75? What about the other lakes? How often does the ferry go back and forth? Any rv parks I should stay in along the water? have 2 dogs that travel with us. Anything helps. Thanks!
The ferry leaves every half hour.
Avoiding I-75 isn't necessary unless it's southbound on the last weekend day of a holiday weekend.
It would be helpful to know what you're looking for when we make suggestions. How old are you, do you have kids, do you like towns, solitude, hiking, swimming, etc.
Going over the bridge to the UP is a neat experience. Stay in the UP only if you like solitude and driving for 1-2 hours between anything of interest.
If you're in Michigan for a limited amount of time, I would recommend focusing on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Traverse city is a nice town to visit. Sleeping Bear dunes is pretty, but the best sand is found farther south in Ludington, Silver Lake areas.
