Castle Rock Lakefront Mackinac Trail Campground

We visited Castle Rock and made the climb - totally worth the effort and the $1 entry. The view from up top was wonderful, with forest and lake Huron sprawling out in front of you, and the Mackinac Bridge visible in the distance. As a bonus, you get to visit Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, they sit at the base of the stairs.

When you come back, they will give you an "I climbed Castle Rock" sticker :) We thought it was pretty cute, and we felt we earned the sticker after all those stairs.

Staff/Owners were exceptional. Campground needs some work. We arrived in a torrential rain. Huge puddles everywhere. Over the next couple of days, our site never dried out. Sites need additional gravel. Many mature trees and narrow roads make maneuvering a big rig difficult. I would not recommend this campground for big rigs. No WiFi. No cable.

I took with me a 3yr. Old, 6, and 8 to this attraction by myself. Cost $4 ($1/ea.). It was neat...kiddos had to climb up a steep climb of steps to reach the top which was beautiful! A little nerve racking for momma due to high winds...but very cool and the kids loved it. We didn't get souvenirs as the one lady on staff was a touch rude...but maybe she she was having a bad day. Overall, worth the trip and cost effective for large family.

Awesome view!!! it was well worth the $1 to go to the top. They even let the dog go with me. It is a bit on the rundown side but an awesome experience.

loved this place. it is absolutely breathtaking views and a truly significant part of the history of Ojibwa and the history of the beautiful state of Michigan. A Must See!

Fun quick little stop. $1.00 charge to climb to the top, but it is worth it. The view is gorgeous.
