Mackinac Island / Mackinaw City Part 1 : RV Living

[@jaimelopez3991]

Spectacular!! In my destination list....

[@oureverydaygetaway]

You should! Everyone we know have had great experiences visiting the island and city.

[@VernonWallace]

Thank you.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks for watching!😊

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Thanks for stirring up the old memories, we sure enjoyed our visit to that area a few years back and enjoyed yours as well. .

[@oureverydaygetaway]

It was a great experience for us and so happy we were able to make so many great memories. Thanks for watching and enjoy your adventures together.

[@Ad3Collins]

Save me that bench out front of the RV that is a fantastic view, The Lighthouse tour looked cool. Thank you :)

[@oureverydaygetaway]

You can't beat that view for sure! We really enjoyed the lighthouse tour. Thanks Ade!

[@medeatatum6468]

Thanks! We have been wanting to go to upper peninsula.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway. 😊

[@johnbuschman8815]

Great video, Its so funny how you guys interact. You are blessed, see you on the next one. Stay safe. John

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Yes we are. Thank you! 🧡

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

That campground is so nice. Large spots and so green. Mackinaw is the place we want to go. So lovely! Arch Rock is cool. Good to know- We will definitely take our bikes. We were very lucky with Scout on the road; especially after he had kidney disease. The vets in whatever area we were in were really good about communicating with Scout's vet. Great old village, museum and lighthouse. Love lighthouses.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

One of our favorite campgrounds for sure. So much to do in the city and island. On our list of places to go back to one day. Don't think they allow e bikes but don't take our word for it. You can rent bikes on the island for the hour or day. That's what we did and loved it! We couldn't get a vet to see him due to not being from the area so thankfully we were able to get his medicine shipped. Hate to see any animal in pain. Had no idea we would like lighthouses so much! Thanks for watching! Take care!

[@RVAmerica]

Now we really can't wait! You really did have an amazing view in the campground. Love the arch shot. Lynn and Danny

[@oureverydaygetaway]

If you get a chance to go back try to book there. It was absolutely spectacular! Thank you!

[@jaimelopez3991]

By the way.... I love when Katrina is filming the entrance of the RV in the campground and slot allocated.... please keep doing it!! Nothing nicer than a big rig moving slowly and maneuvering at 1 MPH...

[@oureverydaygetaway]

As long as there's no snow I'll keep doing it! LOL Thanks for watching and subscribing. Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

You guys are in my neighborhood!

[@robertdoyen5434]

Great place to visit with go about every 3 years and scuba 🤿 dive the shipwrecks and the little towns in the area. Yes light house’s are great and we have a lot of them around here. Thanks From Wisconsin PS keep up the great videos

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Scuba diving around the shipwrecks sounds like an amazing adventure! All in all we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. We are currently in Wisconsin and loving it! Thank you Wisconsin!

[@robertdoyen5434]

@@oureverydaygetaway Hope you in joy your stay if you have time you should get up to door county.

[@jimblair2692]

I’m originally from MI and went to the island many times. You went at the right time, Summer after kids get out of school is too busy. Our Labrador has the same ear issue, our vet told us it’s because they have flappy ears and retain moisture which of course causes infections. Hope enjoy tour MI it’s a lot like Maryland.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thankfully we were able to get his ear medication in 2 days. Hate to see any animal in pain. Michigan was just beautiful! We also stayed with friends in Whitehall. The beaches and small towns in that are were spectacular! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

[@bristolautomotiveparts]

I'll have to check out Mack Island MI

[@oureverydaygetaway]

They have so many camping options. I think you would really enjoy it.

[@sherrypurdy9105]

I'm so jealous that you all went to Mackinaw Island...I grew up about 50 miles south of Mackinaw City along Lake Michigan and every summer I would take a trip to the Island....I even would stay a few times at the Chippewa Hotel and have a drink or two down stairs at the Pink Pony. Looks so beautiful and that water looks so nice. I now live in Florida and don't get back home that much especially of late and I do miss it a lot.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I can only imagine the wonderful memories you must have growing up in the area visiting the island every summer. We wanted to stay overnight at one of the hotels on the island but couldn't because Tucker is traveling with us. So instead we went back a second day and road bikes around the island. Riding bikes around the island was very enjoyable in our opinion. Thanks for watching! We very much appreciate it. Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

That campground looked great and what a view! It's refreshing to hear honest opinions about places too! We will rent bikes if we go and skip the horse tour. Can't wait to see part two! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks guys! Trip to the island is a must if your in the area. Can't go wrong taking a tour around the island on bikes.

[@jsalansing]

Just found your channel, Mackinaw Mill Creek is one of our favorite campgrounds up near the Mackinac Bridge. Nice place with great views and very fair with their prices. We stay in the same area of the park as you did even though in May the breeze coming off the lake can be a bit cold the views make it worth it.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

It has become one of ours as well. We highly recommend staying at this park to anyone who wants to visit the city/island. Thanks for watching!

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Great info and good timing since we are heading there soon. Idk if we really want to visit Mackinac Island now. I guess we will just to say we’ve been there.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thought you said great into. LOL Probably a good idea I put my glasses on. Thanks guys!

[@roryandsage]

Cool vlog guys!! Loved the carriage tour, even if you could have enjoyed it just as much on a bike lol. We like doing carriage tours as a family. Very beautiful island though. Definitely a neat place to explore!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! I can see how families or people with disabilities would have a easier time riding the carriage. I was amazed with how many horses and carriage there are on the island. We even saw people riding individual horses on guided tours of the island. Overall a beautiful island for sure! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 😊

[@stevedenoyer5956]

How’d you like the fire pans at mill creek? Lol. Great campground. A little strange on the fire pan side.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I can honestly say we've never seen the fire pans before. Overall it was a great experience and fantastic campground! Thanks for your comments and watching our channel. Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@rickcarroll4366]

We will be thee in July. Thanks for all the info. We have a lighthouse passport and they stamp it just about every lighthouse we visit just like the National park one.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Your so very welcome. Didn't know about the lighthouse passport. Will have to look into getting one. Thanks for watching and enjoy any day you can getaway. 😊

[@kathyjoslin1361]

We are in Petosky now going to the island tomorrow. Couldn’t decide to take the bike or not. Think we will now. Thanks!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Have wonderful time biking around the island. Your going to love it! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 😊

[@bobchooper114]

Mcgulpin point is where it's at.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Wish we would have know about Mcgulpin point. Will have to go there on our next trip to the area. Thanks for commenting. Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@JoeM-TS2-OCSO-Ret]

This will be our 19th consecutive year going to and staying on the island in August. For anyone going there try to allow time to get out and away from the tourist trap stuff by taking the time and effort to discover the islands interior foot trails. The countless trails will take you to places and sights that 90% of tourists don’t experience. PS Great Turtle Brewing Co. is the place to go for food & drink!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I bet the island is beautiful in August. In Saturdays video we take a bike ride around the island. It was a special day for sure. Next time we'll ride through the islands interior foot trails. Hopefully find time to stop at the Great Turtle Brewing Co. Thanks for the suggestion! Take care and enjoy any day you can getaway.

[@dandej5317]

Mackinac Island is worse than Disney. I couldn't get off that island quick enough. The upper peninsula is fantastic, hopefully your travels take you there! Great video!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Mackinac Island isn't for everyone. Though we did enjoy the island there were a few things we would have done differently. Looking forward to visiting the upper peninsula someday. Thanks for watching!

[@Thisishoweroll]

I love watching you guys. I enjoy your reviews and that you handle things so well. Ignore the haters. You’re not negative, you just give us your opinion which is helpful for those of us planning to do full-time RVing. Keep living the dream.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! Will do! We may not be for everyone but hopefully most will understand we're just being honest. Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@dougd9944]

Hi to you both, make sure you ignore the negative vibes from others, I appreciate you guys and your getting better at your videos. Keep on Truckin :) Have fun!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you so much! Hopefully most people will understand we're just keeping it honest and it's just our opinion. Thanks for your kind words and watching! Take care and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@adventureswithtrey1658]

If we could have you park in our driveway I would, not sure if your rig would fit, but yo MUsT. One visit Door County since you are SO close. It’s like no other place on earth… come visit.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks for offering! Very kind of you.💕 We actually just left Door county. The weather was wonderful and we had an amazing time!

[@HetteshWorld]

Katrina, I love your food reviews and your face. You are awesome. I take it that Chris didnt let you buy what you want lol because there was no footage and you were on the ride next. The budget, the budget, the budget and you weren't carrying anything lol. When we were there we just rented bikes all around the island for the day. Great shots with the water in the rock. Aw poor little Tucker I'm so sorry. That is a little ears were messed up. That's awful that he has to go through that. He is such a great doggy. I love the foghorn Tour and I agree 100% with Katrina. I hate touristy stuff. I love things like this. Did you have your eyes checked again because you shouldn't be having that many floaters you get some and then down the road you may get some more but usually have time to get used to them. How are you doing now and have you seen an eye doctor again? We've been in dozens of lighthouses. I remember going in. It being 8 months pregnant with Rachel and 8 months pregnant with Rebecca. White House's are the best thing because you get a really good view of the entire area. It's fun to always hear the history of them. And they're very majestic. Another great video guys!!!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I still have floaters but not as many. Wearing sun glasses seems to help. The lighthouse was an unexpected fun place to tour. We are definitely putting "touring lighthouses" on our list of things to do. Thanks you! Hope you guys are doing well!

[@HetteshWorld]

@@oureverydaygetaway You and Chris look like Tom Cruise and Tom Cruiseette with the sunglasses

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

Wow! What a view at your site!! When were you there??

[@oureverydaygetaway]

It was Gorgeous!!! We were there in the middle of May. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@WhyWait]

You guys are so negative lol. Great video guys! This area is suppose to be the next place we go to for a season visit, probably next summer. Can’t wait to get there!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I know! 😂 Thank you. If you can book a year out you won’t be disappointed. The campground views were amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@bobchooper114]

I like your wife. She likes Mackinaw city better than the island. You were 2 blocks from my house.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

The city is under rated in my opinion. Very nice area.

[@bobchooper114]

Thanks. That's why I bought a home there. The crown jewel of Michigan.

[@jaimelopez3991]

If you're having issues with your labrador/retriever ears, imagine us dealing with our lovely Cocker Spaniel Mila!! .... endless issue but anyway, that's our hairy daughter so she deserves our care....

[@oureverydaygetaway]

100% agree! We love our "Tucker" but he can be a lot some days. 😊

[@shutupstoopid4518]

Wasn't a big fan of the island, liked the town,there was a fish restaurant I think it was called scallywags was pretty good

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Don't remember seeing Scallywags but we did enjoy some pasties in town at a Hunts restaurant that were amazing! Always enjoy trying the local flavor wherever we go. 😊

[@shutupstoopid4518]

@@oureverydaygetaway scalywags is on the main street in town kind of tucked in behind another business, if you find yourselves over by Ludington mi. Ponchos pond is a very nice rv park, that's all I got....just sayin

[@ron5149]

Just curious what you guys are using for internet? My wife and I are three months into full time Rv life and are still struggling to find reliable internet. We are currently using our phones hot spots, but need something more consistent/unlimited. Really enjoying your videos keep up the great content!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Congratulations on going full time! We just recently started using Starlink. So far we are enjoying great service on the road. Will put out a video soon talking about it. Thank you! Stay safe and enjoy any day you can getaway!

[@ZeebNinja]

I am not being negative, but the intro with short clips of what is to come later in the video is a copy cat of what a few others have done. I am not a fan of that and it feels like a cheap marketing ploy.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We don't take your comment as negative and do appreciate any and all feedback. Stay safe and thanks for watching our channel.

[@HetteshWorld]

I love it. It lets me know what is coming up and tells me how good the video is gonna be. I appreciate it.

[@bobchooper114]

There's your first mistake, mill creek is lame. Mackinaw city is the Mackinaw daddy.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

You have to love the view from some of the campsites. So beautiful looking out over the lakes. 🧡

[@david_reynolds3660]

You know, I liked you when I started watching you! However, as time has gone on you all really hit me is very negative self-serving east coasters from Massachusetts or someplace like that. Even New York City! I don’t know why you hate me this way other than the way you talk about places! When you’re on the road, you should just try to find a good in everything unless it’s just horribly bad! I’m going to unsubscribe now. Y’all take care and I hope things get better for you!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Hi David! This is Chris. First of all, thank you so much for subscribing to the channel. If you feel the need to unsubscribe, that's fine. Katrina and I think it's important to always tell the truth. That's just how we both were raised. Her parents being dairy farmers and mine being blue-collar hard-working people. All of them instilled a sense of right, wrong and a good work ethic. Every place we go to will not be great or good. Every product we buy for the RV will not be worthy of praise just because we bought it and will do a review. I'm sure you would agree, if we bought a product for the RV, did a review you would want us to tell you and the other viewers the truth. I refuse to sugar coat anything about life. As a cancer survivor I wanted my cancer team to tell me the truth about my prognosis. We believe in everyone's right to voice their opinion and we respect yours. And by the way, things are great for us, we are truly blessed. Take care and best of luck to you.

[@david_reynolds3660]

Chris, I was just trying to say that it didn’t seem like you guys! I can truly understand that liking something. It was more in the tone of your voice than anything else. I don’t know, I really do like your content. Just trying to be also honest about things. I’ll tell you what, let’s start this one over. However, can we find a way to work on your recording volumes are Mic. Send it hard to hear you from time to time

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Dave, no problem I will try to improve on the mic. I apologize if I came across a little irritated but I felt like I didn't get my moneys worth. Please feel free to always voice your opinion we very much like to hear back from everyone no matter good or bad.

[@jimcolts]

David....I really don't understand being upset at someone for stating their opinion of someplace or something, that is NOT being negative, that is simply reporting what they thought of the place/thing. That is exactly what I want to hear from them, what they thought .
