We camp here yearly, it makes for a great base camp for doing the tourist thing in Mackinaw and St Ignace, and the eastern U.P. in general. It's about 15 min from the bridge, and less than an hour to Sault Ste. Marie, T Falls are about a 90 min drive. Sites are very large and provide a nice "buffer" space between campers, and most sites offer plenty of room for larger RV's.
Be warned, there is NO ELECTRIC here, so plan on battery power or generators, or even better use this as a nice excuse to leave all that behind and enjoy light via lanterns and coffee with an old fashion perk pot over the fire. There is fresh water available in a couple spots from well pumps, but no water at the campsite. They have vault toilets, which were kept clean when we visited.
Carp River usually has hosts, which we found makes for cleaner and quieter campground and more often than not a better experience overall. The hosts when we were there (Aug 2019) were friendly and visible while doing their job, wish I could remember their names, but they were very good at what they did. Ice and firewood were sold at the host site, and they even had games available for lending out. It was a nice camping experience and we'll be back.
