Ooh. Thanks for all the tips. Never even occurred to us to stay at a KOA because we usually stay at the state parks. Have emailed both Mackinaw City and St. Ignace for shuttle info.
I've been to the island several times for work (heading there in two weeks, actually), but never with the family. Kids want to check it out. I think DH will stay behind with the dogs and enjoy peace and quiet while we explore.
Thinking of going up early on a Friday, checking in and heading to the Island. I know the ferries run late in the summer, so we could explore, catch dinner and then head back. Love the idea of a horse-drawn tour so the kids can get a good feel for the place. Want to make sure they also see the fort.
This is sounding better and better.
Thanks again!
