Small forested sites tucked close to Marquette make Kona Hills a workable base for exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula, though the campground was still under construction as of mid-2025. Highway noise is audible from the sites, which is worth factoring in. The access road is rough, and RVs longer than 25 feet won't fit. Amenities include drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and firewood for purchase, with cell service and trash pickup on-site. No showers are currently available. Reservations are accepted, and pets are welcome. Campers researching camping near Marquette will find this one worth watching as construction wraps up.
Description
Kona Hills is a rustic campground on 80 wooded acres just 3 miles from downtown Marquette, Michigan. Perched 200 feet above Lake Superior, the property offers a camping experience that feels far from town while keeping trails, restaurants, beaches, and outdoor recreation within easy reach.
Unlike traditional campgrounds, our 40 campsites are intentionally spread throughout the landscape with natural buffers, elevation changes, and room to breathe. Every site includes a fire ring and picnic table, with fresh artesian well water and self-serve firewood available on-site.
This is camping built for simplicity. There are no hookups, showers, Wi-Fi, or dump stations. Instead, you'll find vault toilets, forested campsites, dark skies, and a self-sufficient camping experience designed for people who value space, privacy, and a connection to the outdoors.
Kona Hills accommodates tents, cars, vans, and small RVs and trailers under 24 feet in length.
Camping for people who want to camp.
