Hancock Recreation Area Beach & Campground

Hancock campground has LOTS of RV sites as well as some really nicely hidden/shaded tent spots. You can walk down to the beach as well as some hiking trails nearby down the road. Also, it’s about a 33 minute walk to some restaurants and shops in town. Clean, heated restrooms. As of October 2024 when im writing this, their dryer is out of order, so laundry unavailable. Campground attendant is very nice as well

City run operation. Close to downtown Hancock. A few sites right along the canal. Variety of site configurations - from remote tent pads to open areas that permit families to set up camp units close together. Limited sites that have sewer, water, and/or electric.

Very nice place, well set up. It was super hot so the bathroom floors were sweating and wet But over all clean.

If you don’t have water it’s a bit of a pain but onboard tanks or jugs are doable.

Very convenient to Houghton and rest of Keweenaw Peninsula. But spots are practically on top of one another. Great if you’re camping with kids and friends, but no so great if you’re looking for some quiet.

Campground was easy to access, and check in to at the front station. Water was easily accessible as not all camper spots had water hookup. We were able to find our spot and get into it relatively easy. We have a 25' rig so we still had quite a bit of space to maneuver. Loved the location of our spot, as it was on the back edge of the campground. Overall seemed very safe and secure with campground attendents riding around frequently. Surprisingly mosquitoes weren't awful which is always a plus this time of year. Water access is nice if you have a boat, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Definitely would return!

Nice campground, bathrooms aren’t the best. Tent camping sites are nice some are spacious, some are close to each other.

A beautiful woodsy setting with small paths for the kids to explore & a wonderful swimming beach right next door. A few sites are small & only a few have water hookup, but it is a wonderful campground.

We like camping in the woods, but this has some of the same feel. The tent sites have lots of trees that makes it seem like you are roughin' it. It is nice to have access to real bathrooms though.
