SAULT STE. MARIE, MI – Kewadin Casinos will soon begin work on the next phase of its multimillion dollar upgrade project with each casino seeing a substantial investment into their property over the next three years. Previous phases of Kewadin Casinos’ multimillion dollar upgrade project have included a complete interior and exterior renovation and remodel of the Kewadin Casino Sault Ste. Marie hotel tower, casino main entrance, and new dining concepts bringing in Black Rock Bar & Grill and The Eatery.
The next phase of renovations is scheduled to begin in summer 2026 across multiple properties. At Kewadin Casino St. Ignace, room renovations and upgrades are set to begin in fall 2026, followed by development of a new full-hookup RV park beginning spring 2027. Kewadin Casino Sault Ste. Marie will see the most extensive changes, including demolition of the original casino and hotel East Wing structure along Shunk Rd. beginning fall/winter 2026, with construction of a new sports bar featuring virtual game bays and a new waterpark with dedicated children’s and adult areas both slated to begin in summer 2027. At Kewadin Manistique, a new full-hookup RV park will open in summer 2026, while restaurant and bar renovations are planned with a schedule to be announced. Kewadin Casino Christmas will receive RV park enhancements including full-hookup options beginning summer 2026. At Kewadin Casino Hessel, bar and deli renovations are set to begin in fall 2026, with cabin and RV park improvements — including 50-amp hookup options — also planned on a schedule to be announced.
“We understand that the needs of our guests have evolved over the years, and we are excited for the opportunity to evolve with them,” said Allen Kerridge, Kewadin Casinos CEO. “These renovations are designed to enhance the guest experience in the areas guests value most, whether it is a family traveling to camp or a local resident looking for a great meal and a fun night out. This next phase will allow us to better meet those needs by enhancing our RV park offerings, improving our hotel at Kewadin Casino St. Ignace, and bringing more family-friendly experiences to Kewadin Casino Sault Ste. Marie with the only water park in Michigan’s eastern Upper Peninsula.”
