We are on Facebook. Please come "LIKE" our page.
The town of Red Hook is just about 1/2 mile from the condo and boasts many restaurants, shops, bars, marinas and of course the Ferry dock.
We also have gorgeous multi-level cascading freshwater pool which is surrounded by the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Grab a book and relax while watching the tranquil blue waters lap up on the shore surrounding the sparkling clear pool. Or sit back and relax while watching the boats coming in and out of the marina.
Currently at Sapphire Beach in addition to the new beach bar we also have the "Banana Cabana" -located between B and C buildings-offers food, soda and frozen drinks, and the Sapphire Grill offers lunch and dinner -a short walk up the hill past the marina and 'F' building. Both places also provide beach service, so you don't even need to get out of your chair.
Menus for other local restaurants are also located inside an information booklet inside the condo.
If you're in the mood to explore~ The Virgin Islands National Park on St John is easily accessible by ferry from Red Hook. Catch a cab at Cruz Bay dock and go explore the park, soak in the beauty of Trunk Bay, Caneel Bay, Cinnamon Bay or hike any one of the 22 trails. You may want to check out the ruins of Annaberg Plantation where they produced sugar, molasses and rum. Participate in a demonstration on basket weaving or bread baking. The ruins are fairly extensive and well preserved.
So bring your bikinis and flip flops and be ready to relax and unwind in the beautiful Caribbean sun!
Sapphire Beach, St Thomas, USVI - Beautiful.
We own 2 additional properties here at Sapphire Beach.
Please view them at
We have been coming to Sapphire Beach for over 10 years. The clear blue water, powder white sand, the gorgeous pool all make up our idea of Paradise. Its not over-crowded, the people are the friendliest we've ever met and every time we come, we say.....we wish we could stay here forever!
When the opportunity arose that we were able to actually buy one of these beautiful condos we jumped! Now we come a few times a year and thoroughly enjoy every moment we are here. We are happy that we can share our place with you and I know you will love it as much as we do.
Kathie Jankowski purchased this condo in 2013
Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina has the best oceanfront condominiums on the island. We are the only community that is located directly on the beach. All others are at best a 'short walk'.
Granted, we aren't here simply for the accommodations, we are here for the beach, the sun, the sand, the island. Here you will experience this beautiful paradise up close and with your toes in the sand. You can't get any closer to the water than here at Sapphire Beach Resort.
Offered on the beach:
Arrange for a professional massage
Snorkeling right off the beach.
Yoga classes offered a few times a week.
Fresh water pool for registered guests and owners only!
On site, beachfront Dive In store. Renting water equipment and toys.
No fighting or reserving beach chairs. Each guest will have their own lounge chair.
Wait staff on the beach. Get those drinks and food delivered right to you.
The condo was great! Had everything you could need,location was perfect.Nicely decorated and updated everything was clean and operating properly.the only suggestion I would make is we could use a couple more beach towells there were only 2 and they would still be wet the next day. we absolutely loved our trip and would recommend this condo to anyone ! We look forward to renting from you again. Thank You, you have a great condo in a little piece of heaven.
My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary and we had the most magnificent time. The condo was lovely, very convenient and cozy. It was stocked with everything we needed! We truly enjoyed being steps away from the beach and overlooking the beautiful water. If you like being away from the crowd than this condo is perfect for you; It is nestled in a private beach area making the stay much more intimate.
We will definitely stay in this specific condo unit again!
The condo unit was fabulous! It looked just like the pictures. The kitchen was great. It was stocked with all the plates, glasses, and cookware you would need. The condiments Kathie provides were a nice bonus so you don't have to buy everything at Food Center (especially given the prices of food in St. Thomas). The bed was super comfortable! The air conditioning and ceiling fan worked great. The wine and fresh flowers that greeted us upon our arrival were appreciated. The WiFi worked well. We used the snorkel equipment and pool noodles provided at the beach in front of the complex as well as the other beaches we visited (Magen's Bay Beach was the nicest with the calmest waters). The proximity to Red Hook Marina is a major plus as we ate at a few of the restaurants there and took a day trip to the BVI out of Red Hook. We felt very safe at the Sapphire Beach complex. Thank you Kathie for making our stay a wonderful experience! We miss it already!
The condo is in a perfect location. 2 minutes away from famous Red Hook. We woke up every day listening to the sound of the water.
Improvements: the pool was super clean but it seems to be abandoned. Same thing for the tennis courts and parking lot. That did not affect our stay because we spent most of our time exploring the island.
Overall... A GREAT PLACE IN A GREAT LOCATION.
My wife and I recently stayed at Kathie's condo and really enjoyed the spacious and well-appointed condo along with the beautiful beach front location. Kathie was a joy to work with before and during our stay. It would be impossible for me to think of a way for Kathie to be any more responsive than she already is. She truly cares about her guest's experience. For that reason alone, my wife and I plan on returning and staying at one of Kathie's condos. Yes, it's true that Sapphire Beach Resort needs renovations to their facilities (tennis courts, restaurant), but that didn't dampen our enjoyment of the great beach with some of the best snorkeling we've experienced. Add a well maintained condo and an awesome host, equals an awesome, restful vacation. We'll be back!
Loved the location. Close to restaurants that we loved eating at, and the ferry to St. John. The beach is fabulous. Met some Island friends there who showed us a great snorkeling route. The condo was terrific. Comfy, great amenities (more than I have seen most places), and well laid out. We will be back. Thank you!
Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina is located on the east end of the island next to Red Hook. It is the perfect place for any type of vacation – from adventurous, to fun in the sun, to relaxing by the pool. You don't have to leave Sapphire Beach Resort, everything you need for a memorable vacation is right on-site.
Join a game of beach volleyball then cool off by diving into the ocean or into the sparkling multi-level freshwater pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea.
Sapphire Beach Resort is located in a lovely landscaped tropical garden atmosphere among palms, sea grape and banana trees. You can snorkel right off the shores of Sapphire Beach, sail, windsurf, parasail or jet ski. The marina is only steps away from your porch and offers boats for rent, or arrange for a planned excursion to adjacent islands including St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Deep sea fishing and the best scuba diving is also available on St. Thomas. For golfers, you can't beat the nearby prestigious 18 hole Mahogany Run Golf Course.
You may choose to rent a vehicle thru one of the airport car rental locations. If you would rather leave the driving to someone else, taxi cabs are readily available anywhere on the island as well as the open air safari cabs that only charge $1 per person no matter where you're island adventures take you!
The picturesque, small yachting and boating village of Red Hook is located one-half mile away. You can reach it with a leisurely walk or use one of the air-conditioned cabs always available to take you to any of the nearby attractions. Red Hook has great restaurants, nightlife (Duffy's Love Shack is an island favorite) , gift stores, and a ferry that will take you to the nearby island of Saint John.
For those that like to explore, St. Thomas offers a wide variety of spectacular sights to see and activities to enjoy, including Coral World, air conditioned theaters and gaming casinos, historic buildings, boat tours, a sky ride, zip-line, and ecotours to name just a few. Of course, there is plenty of shopping and amazing restaurants for you to try too. Or, you can just sit, relax and enjoy the gorgeous beauty of the many public beaches tucked away in the bays of St Thomas.

Photos: Saul Alvarez Looking Strong in Camp For Hatton
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is looking very strong in camp as he prepares for his upcoming fight with Matthew Hatton, which is set for March 5 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The vacant WBC 154-pound title will be at stake. Pride of Jalisco begin the day by running on a track. He is sparring every other day with boxers of the the same weight to achieve his best physical shape.
"Canelo " aims to become the third Mexican to win the WBC crown at 154-pounds. Guadalupe Aquino won it in 1987, and Oscar De La Hoya, who became a naturalized Mexican, won it in 2002. "Canelo" and his team, led by Edison Reynoso, plan to travel to California this weekend, after training in the gym located at El Progreso in Guadalajara, where the 20 year old boxer grew up.

Paris - David Beckham on Thursday said that he would donate his entire salary from a five-month contract at French club Paris Saint Germain to a children's charity, in an unprecedented move from a top footballer.
The 37-year-old, who signed a deal until June 30 with the Ligue 1 leaders, did not divulge how much he would donate nor the name of the organisation but it would be a significant amount.
"That's one of the things that we're very excited about, to be able to give a huge sum to a children's charity in Paris. It's special," the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder told a news conference.
Beckham, who according to the Sunday Times Rich List has a net worth of £190m, is a proud family man and has four children with his wife, former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria.
The player said that his wife and children - sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper Seven - would remain in London during his time in the French capital.

As I've spent the last year driving around the United States, I've slowly grown and refined what items I travel with to keep me safe, prepared, and having fun. This is a comprehensive list of what I pack for adventure trips, along with what I carry day to day.
"What camera do you use?" "What lens is that?" "What does your setup look like?"
Here's the latest photography setup in what I'm traveling around with. Gear and bag list with purchase links at the bottom, below the sample image.
Do you perform better or learn easier when having a reason to do so? I sure do.
Typography has long taunted me as a beautiful and expression form of communication, and being that I'm a designer, artist, illustrator, and photographer, it seems only fitting that I should make an effort to learn it. So I created a project for myself to do exactly that.

on January 6, 2014 - 12:01 AM
WASHINGTON – When he campaigned for president in 2008 in the industrial Rust Belt, no one could have been firmer in opposition to NAFTA-style free trade agreements than Sen. Barack Obama.
"While NAFTA gave broad rights to investors," he said then, "it paid only lip service to the rights of labor and the importance of environmental protection." As NAFTA passed its 20th anniversary with this new year, its scars are obvious on the former industrial neighborhoods of Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit, cities setting new watermarks of pockets of deep poverty and joblessness. The heaviest burden, as always, has fallen on black and other minority populations.
Suddenly unconscious of the noxious effects of industrial flight, President Obama has undergone a dramatic transformation of his views of free trade. He quietly marked another anniversary on Dec. 31. A self-imposed deadline passed. It was Obama's benchmark for the U.S. signing of the godmother of all free trade agreements: the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Now the president is repeating the siren song of the swelling ranks of Beltway players: millionaire lobbyists, lawyers and consultants, many drawn from the ranks of former members of Congress, their aides and administration staffers. A reconfigured Obama now speaks of "leveling the playing field," and "supporting American jobs and exports."
It's the same baloney President Bill Clinton offered America when he signed NAFTA in 1993, and the China trade bill in 2000. Since NAFTA and the China trade bill, America has off-shored between 4 million and 5 million industrial jobs.
In addition to Obama's barefaced hypocrisy, another hallmark of his Trans-Pacific pact is its abject secrecy. No aspects of this treaty among its 12 partners, including Japan, South Korea, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Canada, Singapore and Australia, may be made public before it is signed. In Australia, the government has refused to disclose its terms to Parliament. In the United States, it's only a touch better. Rep. Pete DeFazio, D-Ore., told eugeneweekly.com that the White House said he could look, but only if he came alone, took no notes and didn't talk about what he remembered. He said forget it. This is open arrogance, the new statism, Obama-style.
The secrecy is required by national security concerns, the administration claims. With the Absolute Sultanate of Brunei? With Vietnam?
Obama wants Congress to give him a quick up-or-down vote. It's called fast-track authority. Rep. Brian Higgins of Buffalo opposes this, according to a letter he signed along with other House Democrats. He also opposes concessions made to state textile firms in communist Vietnam, and reported deals with Japan's automakers. Higgins and other Democrats also demanded Obama deal with currency manipulations by our Asian partners. These requests, along with another asking Obama to "consult" with Congress, are met with silence from the palace.
Industrial job flight erodes the middle class, widens the gap between rich and poor, makes pensions riskier, increases federal and state deficits and puts downward wage pressure on those hamburger-flipping and service jobs that our Asian friends have left to the 99 percent.
"Free trade" has been good for those prowling the halls for cushy post-government jobs here, and other elites. Its weight falls most heavily on the already desperate, the forgotten in Buffalo and other Rust Belt towns where there are few if any entry-level jobs. Where a ladder is hard to find.
By the way, here's a statistic for blacks who think Obama has been good for them. In New York, according to the Fiscal Policy Institute, the unemployment rate for blacks at the end of the recession was nearly double what it was before it started.

First University in UAE to offer accredited Industrial Engineering degree
Alhosn University is set to become the first University, in the UAE, to offer a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering.
Supported by Abu Dhabi Holding, the Industrial Engineering degree was accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education.
The undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering was developed by Alhosn University to provide students with the knowledge and expertise to determine the most effective ways for an organisation to use the basic factors of production including; people, machines, materials, information, and energy to make or process a product.
Alhosn University's Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Dr Hamdi Sheibani believes that this course provides students with broad knowledge in engineering as well as management.
"This is a very strong course as it is not pure engineering; it also includes studies in management, marketing, economics therefore organizations will employ graduates with engineering as well as management knowledge," says Dr Sheibani.
The mission of the Industrial Engineering program at Alhosn University is to attain excellence in industrial engineering education by providing an accredited undergraduate program of study in the discipline thus preparing students for successful careers in the field.
Industrial engineering is a specialization being constantly implemented throughout the UAE. Alhosn University's Vice President Professor Ziad Saghir believes that students should be educated about engineering from the best possible source available.
"Industrial Engineering is a growing industry throughout this region and we endeavour to provide students with the best engineering education available," says Professor Saghir.
Graduates can enter into the following careers; Industrial Engineer, Systems Analyst, Production Control Manager, Quality Control Manager, Operations Research Analyst, Industrial Cost Control Manager and Manufacturing Engineer.
Courses are offered in the faculties of Engineering and Applied Science, Arts and Social Science and Business.
Alhosn University would like to sincerely thank Sheikh Nahayan Mubarak Al-Nahayan, Minister of Education for assisting to continuously improve the higher education in the UAE.
First enrolments will be accepted in September 2005. The university will only offer positions for 300 students initially to ensure that students experience a high level of education.

Tigers scalp Indians 66-61 in non-district basketball action
By Mike Rizzuto
Sun Times Editor
It started as a competitive game, progressed to a blowout, and wound up being a little too close for comfort, thanks to some shoddy play by the second unit down the stretch.
But the Lake Arthur High School Fighting Tiger basketball team managed to get what it wanted--a win--with a 66-61 non-district decision over the Elton High School Indians on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 in the Wilbert C. "Nooky" Moore Gymnasium in Lake Arthur.
Lake Arthur jumped out of the gates early, grabbing a 10-4 lead midway through the first period, thanks to a pressing, full court defense and good team shooting and ball movement on the offensive end.
But Elton scrambled back in the final two minutes of the stanza, cutting the lead to 16-14 with a couple of offensive putbacks and good free throw shooting.
The Tigers would turn up the pressure in the second quarter, as forward Durrell Prudhomme, forward Nick Klein, and guard Darius Mitchell began to find the range and lead their team on a 19-11 run to grab a commanding 35-25 lead at the half.
The third quarter was much the same as the second, as the Tigers continually used their defense to get several transition buckets and pull further away.
When the eight minutes were completed, the home team finished a 17-13 run to grab a 52-38 lead entering the fourth and final period.
That lead would stretch to 17 points early in the final stanza, allowing Tiger head coach Roderick Williams to substitute liberally at the six minute mark.
But Elton stormed back, cutting the lead to just five points with under a minute to play, as the Tiger starters stormed back onto the court to restore order and preserve a 66-61 win.
Prudhomme led the Tigers with 24 points, while teammates Mitchell and Klein notched 15 and 11 respectively.
DeAngelo Thompson added eight points, as well, for Lake Arthur, while Aulden Robinson tallied four and Josh Turner, two.
With the win, the Tigers improved to 6-2 on the season, while Elton fell to 4-3 with the defeat.

Removed Lee's arm.
Works in the show, but I felt that the infection probably spread to the rest of my body by the time they thought about cutting it off. But, decided to do it anyways just for the slim chance it'd work.
Calmly argued with Kenny.
Kenny and I are bros. Love that dude like a brother.
Surrendered my weapons.
I just felt like lying to your captor isn't the smartest thing to do when he has a gun on you.
Didn't kill the stranger.
I tried! But Clem ended up finishing him off, which probably saved my life (well, prolonged it) in the process. Glad I taught her!
Made sure Lee didn't turn.
I didn't want to risk somehow getting away once I turned and biting Clem. That would just blow. Plus, I don't wanna turn into one of the walkers. And, Clem needs to learn that shit like this has to happen, no matter how much you don't want it to.
Great episode, albeit definitely one of the shortest. Bring on season 2!

A forgotten classic
on 5/17/2012
This movie is a classic for people who can say they watched it when they were kids or at least during a time when computer generated effects were non-existent. This movie was one of the first to attempt it. It's definitely a movie. It has a very interesting plot. It plays sort of like a typical sci-fi movie, expect the sci-fi plot is in the background for most of the movie, and the highlighted plot is about this kid having to deal with the fact that he is really awesome at video games and they need him to be really awesome at saving a planet

It is here. Finally.
The most eagerly anticipated ride in the history of Philadelphia sports starts now, as the 2011 Phillies start reporting to work (officially) in Clearwater, Fla. Never has a Philly team begun its season with as much positive energy and pure enthusiasm as this one.
If there's a trace of our historic sense of impending doom, good luck finding it. The city Murphy surely had in mind when formulating his infamous Law is all in with this club to an unprecedented degree. This unfamiliar sense of goodwill and well-being is the result of a remarkable series of events and circumstances - from the building of Citizens Bank Park to the 2008 World Series title; from the acquisitions of Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, and Roy Oswalt to the acquisition of Lee again.

This review is from: SUPERMICRO X8DTL-6F ATX Server Motherboard Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 DDR3 1333/1066/800
Pros: SAS on-board.
Cons: I had an overheat issue with the board and a video issue since day one. I couldn't hook up any monitor into it and the chipset overheated causing all kinds of problems. I went through 4 boards until I finally got one that worked. SuperMicro customer service, was awful when I had to RMA as well. Got a supervisor involved in the situation, he wasn't any better. Ended paying over $75 in shipping charges RMA boards to them making this board cost me way more than I wanted.
Other Thoughts: Not happy with them at all. The customer service is awful and when I tried to escalate the issue, they just didn't care. Buy Intel, they have TRUE customer service.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: If it works, it works. 50/50 chance though...
Cons: I bought 4 of these boards with exactly the same peripherals and the same components. Nothing different and yet while I was firing them up and configuring the systems, 2 out of the four will not accept the memory settings. After scouring the internet for information, doing bios updates, and testing all the parts one by one, I decided to get help from Asrock. THEY HAVE NONE!!! No phone numbers, not technical support nothing!!! All they have is links to other sites for someone not related to them to help you out! I have never been in this position ever and now I have 2 boards that are no good and can't even get help from the manufacturer!
Other Thoughts: I will never again buy another Asrock motherboard. I have never been in a position like this before where a manufacturer will not have any type of support. I figured with all the good ratings and ravings about it, it was a good buy, but I was wrong. Next time, I'll stick to the big names and forget these guys.READ FULL REVIEW

Within a month power supply went out on one. I took it back. A month later the other one. Took it back, and then the third one days after the second one. In total I returned them 5 times all with the same issue. I have UPS too on all machines. If they go bad again, I'm just tossing them. They are not worth the aggravation.READ FULL REVIEW

This is basically a large field that has been made into an RV park with roads and utilities on sites. Water and electric and a dump station. Pit toilets! But in another city that is a big tourist destination with $40-$50 parks this is a great park! We were here to see lighthouses not for park amenities! - Rick & Karen
Jul 2015 - $20.00
Hookups are 30 amp electric and water only. Pit toilet and no showers. At $20 a night, the value is off quite a bit. However, if you are self contained the location is very good. Sites are mostly level and grass. Big rigs might want to avoid the first gravel road as the trees have grown in quite a bit since our last stay. - Bob and Inga
Jun 2015 - $20.00
This is a relatively small campground. Sites are grass and level and is close to the Interstate and downtown Mackinaw City. Good stopover for one or more nights, especially considering the $20 price. We would stay here again.
(Contrary to the previous review this campground is not on Lake Huron, but is about 1.75 miles away as the crow flies. And, the camp rate is $20, not $33). - gatordan

Spaces are of fair size, roads are gravel and the park is overall clean. They have two nice dog runs one for large dogs and a separate one for the small dogs which is very nice for people with pets. They are also close to a bike trail which can be accessed through the campgrounds. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. - Traveling Fool

We arrived just as the office was closing. The staff warmly welcomed us, led us to our site and even delivered our wood. The site was large and level, the entire campground well maintained. Bathrooms were clean and monitored by the staff. We camped here in a travel trailer for 4 nights and will happily stay here again. - alkurta

Overall, had a good experience. The personnel were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful, the sites were a little snug with trees but nothing critical. We were on a pull-through site and didn't have any problems but visited with another camper who also had a pull-through that was on the short side. We would definitely stay there again if/when in the area. - kluza2786

We echo the good comments on this park. It was the most expensive park we have encountered this season, with 12 weeks and 9000 miles traveling, however, in this case, we feel that we got what we paid for. Bear in mind, this is a massive RV park about 3 miles south of Mackinaw City. Our site was nearly a mile drive to the entrance. Many waterfront sites, but they are much smaller than other sites. We had a site 2 rows back from waterfront that was spacious, treed and very private, as are many there. This park is a destination resort in many ways. They have everything needed there on site. The general store is a bit pricey, but has whatever you may need. I rode my bike 3-5 miles per day and never left the park! They employ many students for the summer, all of which are trained to provide exceptional service from the time you arrive until you leave, as are all other regular employees. They have ongoing programs daily. The park creates its own atmosphere and was a great place to stay. We would stay here again without question. - AlaskaJack

Booked a "large" RV site 6months in advance, and checked in to a site that was about 25' wide. Our receipt said that our site was 40' wide. We brought this to the office's attention, and they courteously moved us to a lakeview site, which was the same width, but the view was FANTASTIC. If you can fit into a 25'w site and don't mind getting to know your neighbors, get the lakeview site, it's worth it.
Portions of the park have dirt roads which are not particularly well-maintained, but most of it has paved roads which are sufficient for navigation with RVs. Many FHU sites, OTA tv is fair (no cable). Wi-Fi is spotty (first site we were on it was great, on the lakeview site, not so good), and costs money to use, per day.
Camp store is large and well-stocked, registration office has numerous agents for check-in. As mentioned in other reviews, this park is huge and has lots of check-in/check-out activity every day.
The proximity to Mackinaw City, island ferry, the bridge, etc., is excellent, and the views of the lake, bridge and island from our site were worth the narrow site and the hassle of setting up twice, after the move.
We'd go back here, and would select another lakeview site. Would have given it a '9', if the roads were a little better on that northwest section and if there were fewer weeds in the 'privacy' growth between sites. Other people have complained about the lone shower house, but we use our own shower, so that wasn't a big deal, but it is a bit of a hike from parts of the campground. - fastalker64

Good signage. Interior roads and sites are sand/dirt but are well maintained. Sites are lined by trees/shrubs for privacy. Wifi is not free. You need to purchase a plan. Our ATT hotspot worked well so we did not check the prices for wifi plans.
Interior road layout is confusing at first. Our site was up front so there was a little road noise. No cable but got a good satellite connection. Close to all attractions.
The only negative is that you have to drive all the way up to the office area to dump trash. They really should place a couple more dumpsters around the park. We would stay here again. - dickens

Like everything in this area, it is expensive. We were given a site with 30 amp & water. No sewer but there is a dump station. They have some sites on the water & you can see the big bridge. You park on grass & it is fairly level. Site was large enough for our 41 ft 5th wheel & truck or so we thought until we came back from site seeing & discovered that a huge motor home had back up to our rig within inches of our bike rack. We had set up our DISH behind our rig & just to the side. It was now shooting right into the rear end side of the motorhome. What a bummer! It was difficult to put our bikes back on the rack due to space & having to straddle his tow bar. We didn't use the restrooms. There is a game room & tourist info. Shuttle picked us & our bikes up right at camp (for $52.00 for 2 ppl) & ferried us to Mackinac Island. - Retired & rambling

This park had a beautiful view of the Mackinac Island bridge. The beach area is rocky, I'd highly recommend water shoes if you're a swimmer. The campground is conveniently located in the Mackinac area but it's nothing glamorous. You can hear road traffic very easily. The bathrooms were HOT after a shower, and there is barely enough room to change your clothes in private. DO BRING A SCREENED IN TENT FOR BLACK FLIES. There's a nice playground on the beach area for children.
The mackinaw island ferries run a shuttle service to this campground as well as other hotels campground's in the area. - M_P_RIPLEY

The previous review by "bloomis" was right on. We stayed for one week, paid for 6 nights and received one night free. Ask for the bonus package. Great family park. Bike trail just outside of park takes you to town in about 10 minutes. Really convenient to ferries to Mackinac Island. Only down side was the water pressure was very low when the park was full. - Pastor Bob

When I explained my frustration to the lady at the desk about trying to find a suitable site, she said "This campground was built 45 years ago. Not for todays campers". The campground is from 45 years ago. The sites are horrible. We booked a backin 30 amp, but the site that we were given had trees blocking us from opening our awning. The lady at the counter politely gave us 3 other options. We drove around twice and still did not see the other options as a suitable option, either the site was oddly small for our 31 foot RV or the hookups were spread too far apart or, again, the trees were blocking us from opening slide outs or the awning. We asked about the Pull Thru or the other backin sites and were told they were $13 MORE a night because they were 50 AMP $53/night). We finally decided to upgrade to a 50 AMP backin for $13/ more a night, but after our KOA discount then it wasn't as bad. The pull thru sites looked worse. The backin site that we selected had the electrical on the right side, the water spicket in the back and the sewer hookup on the left side near the front of the RV. Thankfully all of our hoses reached but we had cords and hoses everywhere. We stayed here for the "free shuttle". The "free shuttle" is provided by the ferry, so we really could have stayed anywhere else to get the free shuttle. Rusted dangerous looking pieces of metal in the playground. I couldn't even let my toddler play on them. I wouldn't stay here again because they need to lower prices to justify what you get, they need to put money back into the campground, they need a new playground area and they need to cut down and remove some trees to make the sites work better. This should not be a KOA. - Yellow Submarine

Park large and shady.People constantly pulling through empty lots for shortcuts to their site.Numerous people changed sites because staff have no idea what sites are like.Dead trees all around should be felled.Washrooms dated and taps turn opposite to turn on and off.Car parking at washrooms prevent RVs from getting around park on check in and leaving.Playground next to dump station.Not much room to turn at dump station which was overflowing and muddy.If two or more RVs are trying to dump you cannot leave until they are finished as exit road is too skinny. - too tall

Love this park! We arrived on a Sunday, left on Wednesday and wish we could have stayed longer! We do plan on coming back.
Our site was #35, in the eastern side of the lower campground. It was a great fully shaded spot - level with a dirt pad. The trees meant we could not get a satellite signal, but did help in the heat. We did have a heavy rain while we were here and the site drained well. The site was electric only (30/50 amp), but no water or sewer, although there was a water fill site at the dump station, and there was water available throughout the park. We had a decent AT&T signal, and the Verizon mobile hotspot also worked. There were several OTA TV stations.
The individual locking shower rooms and restrooms were brand new and kept very clean. The showers are push-button, and (hint for short people) the showerhead is mounted high enough my hair got wet - bring your shower cap!
The lower campground is at the base of the Mackinac Bridge, right on the Straits of Mackinac. There is beachfront, not sandy but rather rocky like many northern beaches. We enjoyed walking down and watching for lake freighters; they pass within sight of the shore.
One note for non-Michiganders: you will need to buy a Recreation Passport for $31, good through the end of the calendar year at all Michigan state parks, recreation areas and other facilities. - Indybear

Modern restrooms with individual shower rooms that Michigan is building in their State Parks. Separate Recreational Passes required for your motorhome and towed vehicle at additional fee. Two camping areas i.e. Upper & Lower. We stayed in lower near the water and views of the Mackinac Bridge. Beach area has spectacular views. St. Ignace is a nice tourist town and home to several ferries to Mackinac Island with many restaurants and summertime activities. - Appleknocker

There is an upper & a lower campground here, with a view of the lake from the lower area. You will need to purchase a park pass ($9/day or $31/year). Only the upper area was open when we were here, but brand new bathhouses should be completed before they open the lower levels. The bathhouses in the upper area are clean, with individual uni-sex shower rooms. Roads are paved, but sites are either gravel or grass. Mature trees are throughout the campground with lots of grassy areas. You can fill with fresh water at the dump station on the way in because sites do not have sewer or water. We could only get 2-3 OTA TV stations here, but our Verizon Mifi worked well. - R&S

This was a nice park, close to St. Ignace but away from the main drag. It was a convenient base from which to see Macinac Island. Using a/c costs an extra $3/day. We were warned upon check-in that the internet may or may not work; it didn't. - beckydmc

We previously stayed at this park 18 years ago. We love the view. The sites looking into the Lake Michigan is magnificient. However, even on holidays, we must communicate with family and tenants and internet is not working. The family knows and don't seem in a hurry to fix the problem. When we asked if we had internet, she answered if it is working.
In 2016, internet is a must have.
We did not tow our pickup on this trip. There are sites for pull-thru available, but they do not have the view. Sites are tight. Our neighbors traveled through our site to go back and forth: never apologised. They walked between our table and our front door. - Nicoray

This could be a nice park if it got some TLC. The spot we had was level and the place was quiet. The bathrooms are old, which is okay, but they were filthy. Showers curtain were unraveling, floors needed resurfacing and were dirty, mildew in showers and on ceilings, light fixtures full of bugs. This is a family owned park and reflects a lack of pride in ownership. Nice walk across the street to the water with a rocky beach. This is our first night of a two night stay. We had a shade tree and lots of grassy area behind the coach. - HayNan

Water & electric only site. Strong water pressure so bring a regulator. WIFI spotty at best. A few over the air TV signals available. Site not at all level. For the first time in our RVing life we had a very strange encounter with a rather rude older woman who showed up on our 2nd afternoon after a day of sightseeing in the local area asking who we were and when we came into the park and if we were going to pay her. We had not seen here before so we don't even know if she worked in the park since she did not identify herself but asked to see a receipt since she stated that she could not find any "card" on us in the office. I showed her our receipt and she left without so much as a thank you. We would not return in the future. - Bob & Stephanie

This campground is very convenient to the ferries to Mackinaw Island and restaurants. It is easy to drive by the entrance which was discussed when we checked in as we aren't the only ones that missed the road. Spaces are fairly close but not impassable. They are also shorter making parking of the tow vehicle or toad a bit of a challenge. Sites are gravel, grass and dirt. The water pressure was good as was electric. We would stay here again. - Sewmom

We stayed in the new (opened 2016) full hook-up campground section. A new campground check-in station was being constructed at the time of our visit. The campsites in this section are good size and some have trees or bushes between to give some privacy. The parking surface is gravel and the living surface is mostly sand at most sites. Because it's newly carved out of woods, the trees (mostly pine) are not filled out so shade is spotty. The site descriptions in the reservation system are not always real accurate, especially when talking about shade. Our site was on the lake side of the road but we could not walk directly to the lake due to a fence to prevent this. It was great to have (partial) lake views right from our campsite. There is no bathhouse in this camping area.
There was no TV reception and limited cell phone reception. Town (Mackinaw City) is about 10 miles away but the road there is curvy and in parts very rough so it takes a while to get there. There is a reason it is called Wilderness State Park! We looked at the other (older) campground sections. The section by the lake has sites that were very small and crowded. The other older section was more spacious.
We will stay again in the full hook-up section of this park when we again come to this area. - RXA-ADM

We stayed 2 nights (July 4th & 5th), had never camped here before. The park was understandably packed since it was a holiday, but nobody was rowdy or too noisy. We were in the Pines area, so a short walk to the beach. I'd like to come back here someday, it's a real peaceful place. I wasn't crazy about our fire pit, but nothing to get riled up about. - Bob806

We were initially looking for a place to stay to break up a long drive to the UP. We extended our stay to wait out a storm. We're self contained and don't use the facilities. We stayed on a week night in July.
The campground was very full. However, we were in the East Lakeshore campground, site #35, at the end of a loop which bordered on a trail to the beach. This made the site feel quite spacious. Although we couldn't see Lake Michigan from our site, we essentially had direct access to an almost private beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and well maintained. In general, sites with a lake view were smaller, those away from the lake were larger. There was no wifi. ATT and Verizon coverage was adequate. - dsvt

We did not stay at this park. We pulled in to check it out because I could not find it under any reviews except Yahoo local.
This is a beautiful little rv park. It is electric and water. Not sure if they have 50 amp. There is a dump station on site, in a very convenient location. There are a couple of pull through sites in the center of the rv park. The rest appeared to be back in. The sites are huge with an amazing, unobstructed view of Lake Huron. The owner was so nice, and tried to accommodate us. Unfortunately, we were looking for a 2 week stay and my hubby doesn't like having to pack up to go dump. That is the only reason we did not stay here. The owner gave me brochures, some magazines and coupons for local attractions. We will definitely stay here when we return to the area for a shorter stay. - Mr&MrsFulltimers

Not all organizations Include systems planning in their SDLC. Even today, many or most development projects are initiated only in response to management and user requests. Those managers and users who "scream the loudest" (or have the most money to spend) dictate which projects are begun, regardless of the overall impact on the business. But systems planning is becoming Increasingly common as businesses learn that information systems should not randomly evolve - they should be planned.
The systems planning function of the life cycle seeks to identify and prioritize those technologies and applications that will return the most value to the business. Synonyms include strategic systems planning and Information resource management.
Systems planning Is driven by the cooperation of systems
owners. Hence, in the pyramid model, it addresses PEOPLE, DATA, ACTIVITIES,
and NETWORKS from the system owners' perspectives. Information systems participants
do, however, usually exploit the opportunity to educate system owners about
TECHNOLOGY directions and potential.
Study the Business Mission
Although many businesses haven't formally documented
their mission, they all have one. If information systems are to truly return
value to the business, they need to directly address that mission. Thus,
the first phase of systems planning is to study the business mission.
Define an Information Architecture
Given an understanding of the business mission, you can now develop a plan for information systems that truly mirrors and supports that business mission. The next phase of systems planning is to define an information architecture for information systems.
An Information architecture is a plan for selecting information technology and developing information systems needed to support the business mission. Synonyms include information systems plan and master computing plan.
This architecture phase can take six months or longer
to complete.
· A DATA architecture that identifies and prioritizes
the databases that need to be developed. These databases should be highly
flexible so that they can support several areas of the business. (Note:
A data or database manager usually helps define the data architecture.)
The Information architecture is packaged in the deliverable,
information systems plans. These plans will ultimately influence the development
and support for all future Information systems. Thus, they must be made
available to information systems management, any contracted consultants,
and all current and future information systems owners.
Business areas are groups of logically related business functions and activities, independent of organization structure. The term was Invented as part a planning methodology called information engineering.
This definition requires some clarification. Business
areas define major functions of the business, for example, PROCESS AND FILL
ORDERS. Several organization units may play a role in any given business
area. For example, the processing and filling of orders normally requires
activity in at least the following organization units: Sales, Order Processing,
Accounts Receivable, Warehousing, and Shipping. Ideally, information systems
should be built around the integration of these units' activities as they
relate to the common business function-in this case, processing and filling
Business Area Analysis
The information architecture is a good high-level IS plan. But some IS shops seek to further refine that plan to define specific systems development projects. Thus, the next phase of systems planning is to evaluate business area(s) to identify and prioritize specific development projects. A project may trigger development of any of the following:
1. A network-subsequent projects would build databases
and/or applications around that network.
Business area analysis (BAA) can be a time-consuming phase that takes six months or longer (per business area) to complete. But many companies are willing to spend that time to ultimately develop highly integrated information systems around their business areas. Because BAA takes so long, most businesses analyze only one or two areas at a time, preferably those identified as most crucial in the strategic information architecture.
Note One challenge facing those organizations that analyze business areas is simply keeping up with application demand. For any given business area, the planing analysts may identify several applications development projects. While Systems analysts and applications programmers tackle those projects, the planning analysts generally move on to another business area, defining still more projects, and so forth. The growth in planned projects can easily exceed resources for those developing the applications. Fortunately, modern systems development technology offers some hope for keeping up with this demand.
Once again, this phase is facilitated by the same
planning analysts who facilitated development of the information architecture.
Systems analysts who will ultimately develop the applications are also frequently
added to the team. Although most executive managers are excused from the
phase, all managers in the specific business area must be involved in order
to identify the applications
