Tiki RV Park & Campground

Very convenient location to downtown St Ignace. Most Camp sites are tight but you at least have water and electricity. They appear to be remodeling the office/shower area which is needed. The showers are hot (thankfully) but no venting. Bathrooms are clean. Wood is 5.00 per bundle, ice is 3.00 but dollar general is 2.20 and castle Rock is 2.00. Washing is 2.00 while dryers are 1.00. You can only get WiFi at office. No grates at site to cook over fire. There is one charcoal grill at office.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting the local attractions.  The campground is about a mile north of the tourist area of St. Ignace on the east coastline of town.  You'll exit North State Street at the big sign for the campground and head uphill for half a block before making the first left, and after about 100 feet the office and check-in area (a large gravel parking lot) will be on your left.

The RV sites are all located in the front (north) end of the campground; the tent and yurt sites are located in the back.  Most of the sites are back-ins and are either somewhat or mostly shady.  The few pull-though sites have open skies above them.  All sites have gravel pads, picnic tables and in-ground fire pits.  They have a number of sites suitable for larger RVs, but you will want to check out the campground map online and pick a site with a size and orientation that works for you, and you have the option to lock in your site choice.  We chose site 11, the end site on the left side of a "tree branch" row of pull-through sites, where everyone enters from one end and then turns right or left into their site.  All of the sites on our side exited out onto an "exit only" campground road that had no access to the rest of the campground, so we would park our truck in front of the RV and simply back into the road whenever we came back from an excursion.  Our site was level and the hookups were in a standard location.

All of the campground amenities are located in and around the office.  The dump station is just across the parking lot from the office, which unfortunately means you have to pull your RV into the parking lot to use it and then make a U-turn to get out, but fortunately the parking lot is just large enough to allow for such turns.  The dumpster is located near the east end of the office building, which is the end with the laundry room and a pair of vending machines (one with snacks and one with soda).  There is a small lounge area in the office, which is the only place where you can use the WiFi service.  On the west side of the office building are a couple of individual shower rooms, and then the bathrooms.  The men's bathroom was serviceable but not particularly clean, and it seemed small given the number of RV and tent campsites it needed to support.

There is no enclosed dog park.  We primarily walked our dog in the open grass area just outside of the campground in front of our site, and next to the taller grasses on the edge of the parking lot.

In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 20 Mbps down and 9 up, but while the bandwidth was solid during the first day or two of our stay, it became fairly weak during the daytime and evening hours as we approached the weekend.  The best speed test I ran on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 222 Mbps down and 17 up, and we were able to fall back to using that when the Verizon was poor.

Our site did not have a view of Lake Huron, but a few site on the other side of our row and in the northeast corner could probably see a bit of the lake.  The campground location makes for a very short drive to the downtown tourist area and the major ferry operators running ferries to Mackinac Island.

Terrible management by Sandra the Rude. We were charged an overstay fee of $100 when we had not overstayed. We booked 2 nights (spoke with Sydney- very nice) with our understanding we ‘might’ have to move to an unknown different site the 2nd night which was not a big deal for us. We checked in at the office window & said we were there for 2 nights. The girl never looked up but pointed at a plastic box outside and told us to find a sheet with our name with instructions & site. Only one site # was on the sheet so we assumed we were in that site for both nights. The next day we were gone during the day & returned after 5:00 to find a nasty note stating we needed to move as that site was reserved for someone else. No mention of where we needed to move to. We finally reached Sandra the manager, who rudely informed us we were supposed to move and didn't so she was charging us a $100 overstay fee. I explained the sheet had one site listed & we had not been told we would have to move the 2nd night. I asked where we were to move to however she sold the 2nd site to someone else & we should stay where we were & she would discuss it in the morning. The camper that was to stay in our site was able to camp next to us with plenty of room and shared hook up. They had no idea we were in their site. We attempted to ‘talk’ with Sandra the next morning about the overstay fee & asked again how we were to know where to move the 2nd night. Sandra said their system displays only 1 day at a time so there is no way to know until EACH day where you would need to move to. No one gave us this information. We asked why the girl at the window did not mention to check each day or why there wasn’t a note on the check-in sheet. We pointed out she was not out any money & it didn’t affect anyone’s stay. In fact, she collected 2 site fees for the same site. Sandra said it’s NOT her fault & she was not being dishonest. Her word not ours. In the end she ‘only’ charged us $50. To say she was difficult would be an understatement. Their website lists a $15 fee if you wish to guarantee your site but how they would know that is beyond me. Campground wasn’t all that great.

Dusty. Had lots of rain last night and three sites under water.

Green whatever's review is *way* overblown, and includes lots that has nothing to do with St Ignace, but anyway...

Sites are ok. Fire pits below ground level, which is not optimal and the fill with water during hard rain. Wifi works... IF you're basically standing in front of the office. Forget about it Restrooms are not fancy, but clean. Showers same. Laundry is nothing special, standard commercial units, not large capacity. It's ok.

No one in office by late afternoon. Number to call, but whatever. LARGE parking area (dusty gravel) to stow trailers, etc.

Mostly quiet here. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad place, but it's absolutely NOT fancy. You get a place to park your unit, get whatever hookups you paid for, and that's basically it. Office allows you to get Amazon delivery here should you need it.

I'm getting full T-Mobile 5G here, which is good because their Wifi is a complete zero.

Got kids? Absolutely zero kid stuff here, but there's a park in St. Ignace to let them run.

Looked in 5 different fire pits, ALL had cigarette butts, so they must not clean them, or don't clean them well.

We've stayed here three times, and will again. I just want to let you know what you're getting.

We booked here after spending one evening at Mill Creek in Mackinaw City along the water. We unfortunately arrived during the midge fly swarm season. When I say swarm, I mean the literal context of swarms. Midge flies only last a few weeks, don’t bite, and stay close to the water. Luckily, Tiki RV was just a few miles away and midge fly free.
The employees are extremely friendly and very flexible. I like that the campground is so close to dining and grocery shopping.
Our site was right along a road lined with homes. It was mostly quiet with the occasional car driving by.
Laundry was cheap at $3/load. I would stay here again. Also, excellent mobile service via AT&T. We were able to have Zoom and Teams meetings effortlessly here, plus all of our streaming services without using the campground’s Wifi.

Located within the city limits of St Ignace, TIKI has a great location from which to launch any adventure you wish to accomplish. Downtown is walking distance but you'll want to drive if you plan on shopping a lot or doing laundry. St Ignace has a great laundromat with newer huge commercial washers/dryers. We typically do not use camp laundry's because there is usually only one-two units and they're commercial versions of home units and not large enough or too slow. Located within the office building are restrooms & individual room showers. All are nice but as with most established camps, could use some upgrades. There's a fantastic pizza restaurant (B.C. Pizza) that also delivers and other eateries & Ice Cream shops. The camp is semi-secluded with only a residential street which is somewhat annoying from some of the sites. Good firm sites with grass lots of trees that gives the illusion of being away from it all yet so close to town. There's no hiking trails but this is an R&R stop where you want to go out and explore and come back to a campfire. Lots of tourist shopping everywhere downtown - if you like fudge you'll OD! Mackinaw Island ferry's are launched from town, Mackinaw City has more shops & historical places and is just across the bridge. Cheboygan has a Super Walmart, Tractor Supply and is only 20 miles East. Petoskey is another great little town with many shops & Walmarts and is 40 miles Southeast. The Soo Locks & Sault Ste Marie is 50 miles North and offers much the same. All areas offer several State Parks day use with hiking trails. Couple of dings - there is only one dumpster located down at the office and perhaps because this was late season (October) the office is only staffed twice a day for one hour each, of course you can call their cell anytime.

This is a great campground and RV park. Well maintained and really nice staff. Easy to make online reservations. We loved the town of Saint Ignace, much more low key and WAY less touristy than Mackinaw City. Our only complaint about our stay is the site we stayed in. It’s very private and away from others. However, the site needs help. It is a dirty mess. It looks like a mudslide went through and was bulldozed away. The ground is bare loose dirt and rocks with wood chips haphazardly scattered about. It’s an awkward layout and the hookups are at the front of the site, requiring extension hoses and electric cables. Which all lay in the loose dirt and rocks. On a dry day, the dirt and wood chips get tracked everywhere, prepare to remove shoes and do a lot of sweeping up. On a wet day it’s a muddy mess. We had both. We spent quite awhile wiping mud off of everything before we stowed it. Definitely recommend the park, but there are much better sites.

We enjoyed this spot a lot for basic touristy stuff. We were able to explore the area, go to Mackinac and also explore the Northern Lower Peninsula as well during our stay.

Small but functional laundry room. Middle washing machine has hot and cold water switched, so check temps before you walk away when you run laundry. Campsites were big enough for our use. We had space to have a nice meal outside and were close to the entrance in our pull through spot. Our spot was not at all shaded, but others deeper into the park were.

We had good AT&T service and Tmobile hotspot was on 5G the whole time with good speeds. Overall connectivity was great, but the campground wifi didn't reach us and we were one of the closest sites to the office. Don't count on the campground wifi for connectivity but if you have AT&T hotspot or a Tmobile hotspot, you will be fine. I didn't run a lot of speedtests at this spot, as we were on vacation but it was never poor there. We even had coverage using our hotspots over on Mackinac island.

We did not interact with staff while there. Curbside self check-in made everything easy and smooth.
