Did you know Mackinac Island State Park makes up 80% of the island? It used to be Mackinac Island National Park, making it the second U.S. National Park at the time. Many people just think of the Main Street area and the Grand Hotel when it comes to Mackinac. But with over 70 miles of roads and trails in the state park, thereโs a ton of natural beauty to be explored on the island! Whether you grab your hiking shoes, rent a bike or get on a carriage ride, thereโs plenty to see in Michiganโs first state park.โ

There is a path that goes around the whole island and if you keep riding your bikes, youโll reach at a point called โSunset Rockโ. This is the place where youโll be able to see a great sunset but unfortunately the day we were there, it started drizzling a little bit so we couldnโt get the most beautiful sunset but I did manage to get Jarvis up in the air right before the drizzling started.

Checkout this coastline and the amazing blue water! This island is a paradise in summer time.

Hey everyone! I thought it was time to do another introduction for all of you that are new around here!
We are the Lemps: Jay, Sarah (that's me), Natalie, Carissa, Taylor, Olivia and Asher.
Together, we hunt down the ugliest RVs and renovate them on a budget so that YOUR FAMILY might have an affordable way to travel! We are passionate about family travel and the concept of "getting away from it all" to rest and regroup.
I truly believe that ANYONE CAN LOVE CAMPING... WITH THE RIGHT RV! Common obstacles to travel include; cost, time, finding the right hotel that fits your family, and now...Covid. With the right RV, we can eliminate almost all those issues, or at least open some doors of possibility.
We have been fixing ugly RVs since 2014. I offer full RV renovations, as well as virtual design services. Click on the link in my profile to learn more!
