"Situated on the very tip of Copper Country in Copper Harbor, Michigan and the beginning of U.S. HWY 41 that makes its way all the way to Florida!"

"Some sites are more tucked away in the trees which makes you feel more secluded. The CG was never anywhere close to full when we were there. Lots of rustic cabins being built."

$19 - $85 / night
GuideCampground offers variety of type sites with mixed amenities and sun or shade. More secluded sites may not be suited to larger length camping units. Decent bath/shower house. Only one for whole park. Lower level sites near the canal would be great, but can be windy. The dump station is design with one lane, so can get a backup. Some site have had fresh gravel applied. It hasn’t compacted yet, so a bit coarse to walk on. Close to Hancock. There is a sand n gravel company nearby, so you do hear noise from that area. Have stayed before, and will again.
GuideDecided to drive north to stay on Keweenaw Bay. The only thing you couldn't tell is that the State Park was right on the road. Literally. No site is quiet. Traffic goes all day and all night. Park was curiously mostly full with families and ither campers set up fir the weekend?. Clearly a popular spot. Very clean bathrooms and showers a lovely Park Ranger.
ScoutThis Campground was very crowded, with campers very close to our site. It has electricity and vault toilets, showers and sells firewood.
RangerThat's a beautiful place to park for free. The fresh water Lake Superior provides water for those who have the means to filter it. There's no grey dump and no trash. However, the fact that it's parking right on a beach makes it very difficult for larger vehicles, such as my 16,000-pound bus. I did manage to park it, though. In the dark.
ScoutThe only thing you hear out here are the waves. Extremely peaceful. September 8.
LegendGreat beach. Excellent rock hunting. Thimble berries can be found. Sites offer zero privacy. The toilet is horrific.
LegendOur site was so tiny that I had to put the picnic table on top of the fire pit just to put up our four person tent and park our compact car. There was no privacy and no shade. The area however, is fantastic. The camp store is well stocked. The showers are clean.
TravelerThe air is cool and crisp, the water is crashing against the rocky shoreline, there are tiny little mountains with tiny little trees, the sky is cloudy, and it's often a little drizzly this is a tiny little Pacific Northwest.
The road in looks intimidating, but isn't that bad.
The nearby town of Copper Harbor is very cute. Check out Jamsen's Bakery for some delicious donuts!
You can buy a state park pass at the nearby Fort Wilkins Historic State Park if you need one.
There are vault toilets but no other facilities.
Nearby attractions include...
No boat ramp, but you could get kayaks or canoes in the water easily enough.
ScoutMy fiancé and I (plus our dog) are doing a week of traveling out of our sprinter van through the UP. We stumbled upon this location through this app. This was a Monday evening and every site was being used or people just had stuff at the sites (not sure if anyone was actually staying at the spots) We were having an enjoyable time but then didn’t have a good interaction with one of the other campers. It was a problem to play fetch with our dog not being on a leash. Our dog was staying in our camp and playing fetch away from others. So we decided to pack up camp due to the interaction. Didn’t feel like any good was going to happen the rest of the night after that.
