Why not stay at the Straights SP? Or at one of the KOAs in Mackinaw City or St. Ignace?
If it's for a summer weekend, everything is probably already booked, especially at the state parks.
If you take your bikes to the island, you have to pay a fee for each bike to be transported on the ferry. As a family of 5, we found it to be the same cost to rent bikes, but in the end we chose to get the horse drawn wagon tour around the island. Seeing the interior of the island on a bike can be challenging for those that are young, old, or not physically fit. We got a package that included the ferry ride to/from, horse wagon tour, admission to blacksmith shop and Fort Mackinac and it was worth every penny. My son still talks about the Fort.
Have a great time however you end up getting there! We are going to Wilderness this summer and we'll be visiting Fort Michilmackinac but skipping the island this time around.
