Sunset Bay RV Resort and Campground and Trails End Campground provide distinctive glamping experiences on Michigan's Upper Peninsula near Mohawk. These lakeside retreats offer various glamping accommodations including yurts and refined canvas structures with comfortable bedding, picnic tables, and fire rings. Sunset Bay features waterfront glamping sites with Lake Superior views, modern bathroom facilities with cabin-like interiors, and an honor-system laundry service. "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 on the shores of Lake Superior," shared one long-time visitor. Trails End Campground provides more secluded glamping options with well-positioned sites that offer privacy among pine trees.
Lake Superior access defines the glamping experience at these destinations, with guests enjoying spectacular sunsets, beachcombing along red rock shores, and proximity to small waterfalls. Several glamping accommodations at Trails End are situated to overlook the property's centerpiece pond. A recent visitor noted, "Sweet cabins and yurts. They were still building much of this campground when we visited. All the sites felt intimate and private." The glamping locations provide convenient access to nearby attractions, with Trails End positioned just half a mile from Copper Harbor village, offering restaurants, bars, a small grocery store, and the ferry depot to Isle Royale National Park. Both locations serve as ideal basecamps for exploring Brockway Mountain Drive, multiple hiking trails, and the extensive mountain bike trail system that attracts outdoor enthusiasts to the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Trails End Campground
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.

ScoutPerkins 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!

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.

Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay
Fantastic amazing boondocking spot!
Camped here in early October. What a fantastic dispersed camping spot! Started out right next to the water, so close that the wave spray was hitting the camper, but ended up moving as the winds off the lake reached 30 mph that night! To our surprised this area was pretty busy. It felt like it would be the last nice weekend of the camping season.
If you have a rig that can handle the 7 miles of pretty gnarly dirt road, and enjoy being completely off grid, then this place is definitely for you. Please check other reviews for better descriptions of the access roads. We drove our Rivian R1S, towing an 18 ft overland camper and had no problems.

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.

Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay
Wow—but don’t come until mid August
Absolutely beautiful, great hiking paths, cool weather. Biting flies are oppressive in mid July, so I would recommend mid August as the earliest to try. The road in is not to be taken lightly—or quickly. Looking at an extra hour drive time. We were happy we had put a lift kit in our AWD van and glad we had a mud/ruts setting. Keep that in mind before you venture out.

Guide to Mohawk
Craig Lake State Park Campground provides remote glamping experiences in Mohawk, Michigan's Upper Peninsula wilderness areas. Access to this secluded location requires driving on unpaved roads that may challenge some vehicles. Winter arrives early in the region, with visitors reporting snowfall as early as mid-October, requiring campers to prepare for rapid weather changes even during shoulder seasons.
What to do
Kayaking on Lake Superior: The Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay offers paddling opportunities with pristine shoreline camping. "The drive was pretty rough. My F150 with a truck camper made for a long, slow drive. If the pot holes were filled with water, my feet would have gotten wet," notes camper Brian B., highlighting the access challenges worthwhile for waterfront camping.
Hiking forest trails: Craig Lake State Park Campground connects to the North Country Trail with multiple side paths. "The North Country Trail skirts the lake and there are additional trails that branch on and off it, including trails that go all the way around," explains Rebecca W., who visited in July and found the area relatively free from mosquitoes when using proper protection.
Fishing local lakes: The Upper Peninsula offers multiple fishing spots. "If you're looking for an off-the-grid escape this is it. The hike-in/paddle in camping spots are equipped with a picnic table and a firepit, everything else is up to you," states Mike S. about Craig Lake, though he notes fishing quality has decreased in recent years.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Big Lake State Forest Campground provides generous camping areas. "Way off the beaten path but the sites are HUGE! Quiet setting right on Big Lake. Probably my most beautiful site in the UP so far," writes Tracy W., highlighting the campground's vault toilets and boat launch facilities.
Wildlife viewing: The Upper Peninsula offers opportunities to observe native species. Jeff P. notes at Craig Lake State Park: "The wildlife include loons, eagles, bears, moose, deer and others. The lake has fantastic fishing for smallmouth, northern pike, crappie, walleye, and the occasional musky."
Natural water features: Perkins Park & Campground provides lake access and swimming opportunities. "This is a very quiet and remote area. The campground and town are both very calm and quiet. The beach is very nice and the water in Wilderness Lake is clean," states Greg S., who also mentions the nearby playground and abandoned railroad trail.
What you should know
Road conditions: Many Upper Peninsula glamping locations require traveling rough roads. At Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay, visitor Molly A. cautions: "DO NOT BRING A STANDARD CAR DOWN HERE! Road was incredibly rough and no cell service... Make sure to check the weather before you go. If it had rained overnight, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it out."
Campground development stages: Some campgrounds undergo continuous improvements. At Trails End Campground, Emilee S. observed: "This campground is massive, but not finished yet. It feels as if your camping on someone's property that they've turned into a campground. There were gardens everywhere that were totally fenced off."
Seasonal planning: Logging operations affect forest areas periodically. Art S. notes about Big Lake State Forest Campground: "This area is being logged so many trees are gone. This makes it less pleasant now but that will change over time. Once we saw this we left and looked for another spot."
Tips for camping with families
Beach activities: L'Anse Township Park & Campground offers lake-view sites with family amenities. "Beautiful & clean. Great site overlooking Lake Superior. Need to walk over highway to get to water. Very orderly and great Park Manager. Family & pet friendly with awesome playground," reports Debra R.
Water safety preparation: Lake Superior water temperatures remain cold year-round. Rebecca W. notes about Craig Lake: "Here in late July and lake was quite warm, not sure I'd trust it to be swimmers itch free. I suspect it's a shallow lake."
Pet-friendly options: Several campgrounds accommodate pets. At L'Anse Township Park, Kim E. shares: "We come up every year for the meteor shower, and every stay is a great one. New shower rooms, and huge dog park are awesome!"
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Twin Lakes State Park Campground offers various RV accommodations. Roger W. advises: "Lakeside sites are the premium here and the only sites that would seduce me to visit. Good stop over place," while noting the campground will undergo renovation in 2024 with anticipated closures.
RV size limitations: Some roads and campgrounds restrict larger vehicles. At Trails End Campground, Jeanie P. observes: "This place is self pay $15/night with lots of sites to choose from that accommodate tent or big trailers (not all sites are the same size). Some sites are more tucked away in the trees which makes you feel more secluded."
Site spacing considerations: Campground layouts vary significantly. At Twin Lakes State Park, Kevin notes: "This was a scenic spot but the RVs were packed in pretty close together. Lots of spaces left lots of bored little humans running around. We were close to staying — if for nothing more than the showers! But reconsidered."
