McLain State Park Campground offers year-round cabin rentals with electricity and heating systems, making them suitable for winter activities like snowmobiling.

Trails End Campground in Copper Harbor features "adorable yurts and bunkhouse cabins for rent, which can sleep 6 comfortably and heated by woodstove fires," with thoughtful details like bike hanging hooks on cabin exteriors.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Sunset Bay RV Resort and Campground provides cabin accommodations with log cabin-style bathroom facilities.

End of the road campground
US Highway 41 starts in Miami, FL and ends in a cul-de-sac about a half mile past this campground. This Michigan state park campground is part of the historic Ft Wilkins park.
I camped in the West campground extension (sites 140-160). The access road is paved, as are all the mostly level parking pads in this portion of the campground. In the extension the campsites closer to Fanny Hooe lake are pull throughs, the sites further back from the lake are back in sites. All sites are nicely treed. Some sites are more private than others, depending on vegetation.
The west campground has a new bath house with flush toilets, showers, and an outside sink for dishwashing. Electric pedestals have 30 and 20 amp outlets. There is a double sided dump station on the access road into the campground with tank flush outlets and potable water outlets. The water sources in the campground itself are bucket fill only with no threaded hose outlet. Firewood is normally available at the park contact station and at the general store in Copper Harbor about a mile away, though both were sold out when I was there.
The campground was over 80% full at midweek in October with license plates from all corners on the US.

Large primitive campground near copper harbor
The a large primitive campground located very near copper Harbor in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Although it is very close to Lake superior, you cannot see it from anywhere in the campground. There is a large man-made pond at the center of the campground. The best part of this campground is its location. With easy access to High Rock Bay and Brockway Mountain overlook, and lots of places to go trail riding with your 4x4.
We were there for KOAR 2026 sponsored by Northology. It was a blast and the campground worked very well for that purpose.
The grounds are kept in good condition and the pit toilets were clean. It looks like they are installing another pit toilet now.
I have included some pictures from the general area around Copper Harbor that we visited.

Perkins Park & Campground
Gorgeous, peaceful, friendly and clean
This Campground offers peaceful beauty. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The office ladies will help with your needs like firewood, waterfall locations, hiking trails, recommending great sites (especially if you want to watch the sunrise in the mornings), there is a Campground host and emergency number for anything after hours that may happen (noisey neighbors for example) but those are rare!
Bathrooms are CLEAN, showers (do NOT have the coin machine anymore, so no need for quarters), grounds and campsites & fire rings are clean and kept up on.
Beach is clean and the staff keep dogs off the beach so there's no poop or dog pee in areas where families can swim. BUT there is a designated area for dogs to go swimming! The staff gives treats to dogs in the park (with the owners permission of course)! A pier to go fishing off of, boat launch, kayaking launch areas!
They have several rustic sites, electric &water sites, electric only, and full hook up sites. There are handicap accessibility to the beach and 2 of their shower/ bathroom buildings.
General Store, laundry mat and café right across from the Campground.
Remember as any Campground they do get their busy times but they also have slower times, just ask the ladies in the office and they will tell you the time of seasons that would give you a more quiet relaxing experience if that's what your looking for & don't forget to catch those sunrises!
Trust me tho, this is a unforgettable beautiful place to camp AND with some history!
Make sure to watch Anatomy Of A Murder and don't be afraid to ask the staff and locals about it!

Beautiful Park
Well maintained park with level, spacious sites, clean facilities. Very quiet considering park was 3/4 occupied. Nice walking paths to Lake Superior, Copper Harbor and Fort Wilkins. Cute little shop at Fort sold ice, ice cream, souvenirs and basic camping equipment. Great play/picnic area.

Nice but crowded and noisy.
I liked that we made it to the top of the peninsula. It was beautiful weather and the Lake Superior was beautiful, with beautiful scenery and sunsets.

Trails End Campground near Copper Harbor
Our base camp became Trails End Campground near Copper Harbor. The Jumping Jack performed exactly as advertised. Fast setup. Comfortable sleeping. Simple living. No unnecessary complications. For a retreat built around disconnecting, it was perfect. Lake Fanny Hooe and Lake Manganese We explored the area's lakes. Lake Fanny Hooe sat practically side-by-side with Lake Superior. Lake Manganese was calm, quiet, and beautiful. Chuck spent time wading and fishing while I found myself simply enjoying the scenery. One thing that struck me throughout the Keweenaw was the absence of crowds. There were people around, certainly. But there was always room. Space. Silence.

Trails End Campground
Love this campground
I stayed here over the 4th of July weekend! It was so peaceful and quiet, which was a pleasant surprise. The sites start at $25 a night and are very private. The pit toilet buildings were so clean and well maintained, and never smelled a thing. The toilets are lit inside at night which was fantastic. I was on site 26 and it is very open so I didn't have any bug issues. I was totally surrounded by trees on the outside of site. very private, even though it was open. There is a little bike park for people that had great little hills and banked turns. I will definitely be back, and bringing my bike with all the trails in the area.

Guide to Eagle Harbor
Cabin camping near Eagle Harbor, Michigan offers access to the Keweenaw Peninsula's 900+ miles of Lake Superior shoreline and old-growth forests. The region averages 240 inches of annual snowfall, making winter cabin stays popular for cold-weather enthusiasts. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-75°F with cooler evenings, even during July and August.
What to do
Snowmobiling trails access: McLain State Park Campground provides an excellent winter cabin base. "The sites have the usual fire ring and picnic table, with some overlooking the pond centerpiece of the property," shares one visitor who enjoyed the park's trail connectivity.
Rocky beach exploration: Sunset Bay RV Resort and Campground features distinctive shoreline access. "Great campground with lots of space. One of the longest running campgrounds on Lake Superior. Family owned, very clean," notes a camper who spent time on the unique red rock beach.
Lighthouse visits: Several historic lighthouses dot the coastline near Eagle Harbor. "Quite a few full hook up sites or camp with just electric. Lots of shade, a nice swimming beach, and great fishing," writes a visitor who combined lighthouse exploration with their stay at Perkins Park & Campground.
What campers like
Waterfront cabin options: Campers appreciate lake-adjacent accommodations. "This campground was really nice! I've tent camped here and camped in a hammock. Both were so fun!" shares a guest who stayed at Perkins Park, where some cabins offer Independence Lake views.
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Trails End Campground earns praise for its upkeep. "The pit-toilets are clean, well ventilated, modern (automated hand sanitizer, it's the little things!) and also beautifully constructed," notes a visitor, highlighting the care taken with facilities.
Peaceful atmosphere: Many cabins provide quiet retreats. "We discovered this campground 6 years ago when my nephew wanted to camp as far north in Michigan as we could. Since then we've spent 2 weeks each August tent camping on the shores of Lake Superior," writes a regular at Sunset Bay who appreciates the peaceful setting.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Book cabins well in advance, particularly for summer. "This is a reservation only type of place (with a $3 nominal fee), but the website allows you to book for the same day, and there is decent cell service at the campground," notes a visitor about the booking system at Perkins Park.
Supply considerations: Limited shopping options exist near some cabins. "Stock up in Marquette before heading out here as there is only a small gas station convenience store across the road from the campground, as well as a small café and laundromat," advises a camper about the Big Bay area.
Off-grid living: Three Mile Campground offers rustic cabin shelters. "Swimming off the remnants of the dock and such easy access to the lake made for a wonderful experience," reports a camper who enjoyed the more remote accommodations despite limited amenities.
Tips for camping with families
Beach activities: Water access provides entertainment for children. "The beach area for swimming in Lake Independence is nice with a pavilion, volleyball, and ping pong nearby. You can launch your boat or fish from the dock," explains a family who enjoyed their stay at Perkins Park.
Wildlife watching: Kids often enjoy animal sightings. "We saw a fox and a moose while staying here! The trail that connects on either side of the campground is made up of huge rock slabs that are just feet away from Lake Superior," notes a visitor to Three Mile Campground.
Playground access: Daisy Farm Campground offers recreation options. "This campground feels large, and has a lot going on. Ranger station, dock, access to the trail that goes up to the tower, lots of vault toilets," writes a visitor highlighting the facilities families appreciate.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites carefully based on size requirements. "This is a very quiet and remote area. The full hookup sites were nice and long and well spaced, but they were dirt so could be muddy in the rain," advises an RVer who stayed at Perkins Park.
Road conditions: Some cabin areas have challenging access roads. "This place is way off the beaten path. Long dirt road to get back here. There are tent sites all along the beach front to watch the sunset and pick rocks. Most sites are fairly level," shares a camper about Sunset Bay's approach.
Seasonal considerations: McLain State Park experiences significant seasonal changes. "Nice sites either blacktop, gravel or grass. Majority of sites have lake superior views. Has beachs. One for humans and one for canines. Great for bicycling, hiking, lazy days at the beach," notes a visitor describing the warm-weather amenities.
