Many campers have enjoyed the swimming beach and the nearby boat launch, making it easy to get out on the water. Solar As one happy camper noted,“The beach area for swimming in Lake Independence is nice with a pavilion, volleyball, and ping pong nearby.”

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

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. I feel like we got one of the only ones that wasn't but I'm not real picky. @ramblinsmurf

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!
TravelerWe really liked this campground mostly for its location and beautiful beach on Lake Superior. It has a long driveway that is gravel and all of the campground loops are also gravel or sand so it can be a little dusty. The lake shore sites have beautiful, full views of the lake but just know that many sites will be a tight fit for larger rigs. We have a 26' travel trailer and stayed in the newer loop a little ways away from the beach. It didn't bother us as it was easier to park and a very short walk to enjoy the beautiful sunsets this campground is all about.

We tented on lot 7 during the second week of June. It was very quiet. I was lucky to find this gem and you will only have spotty phone service at best. My dog had more fun than I did and we did a lot of hiking.
Scout
I can hear my neighbors talking at their campsite from mine. We are packed in here like sardines.
Beautiful area, though. Caught a rainbow just as we were setting up camp. And they had wood and ice.
Guide
Really nice and level site(62) just a short walk from the beach. Really clean and well kept state park. Hiking trails are plentiful. Centrally located on the Keweenaw Peninsula allows time for exploring many sites this location has to offer. Too bad the “Gitch” washed away some of the lakeside campsites, hopefully they rebuild soon! My family will definitely come back!
ScoutCity 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.

The road to this campground wasn’t too bad, it was paved most of the way, though there were a lot of potholes and bumps and dips. The last mile or so was unpaved but not bad at all.
We came here intending to stay at this campground right on the water, and maybe find some agates, but it was just not the vibe for us. The camping areas are big grassy open areas, and everyone just finds a spot along the perimeter and sets up camp. It had just such a crazy, chaotic feel to it- ATVs going up and down the road, shirtless barefoot kids on their bikes zooming around, beach going families going to hang out at the water for the day- it seemed like these were locals and they all knew each other, like a group camp.
Cost is $20/night, self pay. We didn’t see anyone that looked like a host, but who knows, maybe there was a host parking in there amidst the chaos. There are several day use area parking spots- no camping allowed here.
Easy access to the beach from the campground & day use. There’s a playground for the kids, and toilets, and a bunch of picnic tables set up behind the building in the center by the pay station. We didn’t stay the night but I can’t imagine that it’s quiet or calm at night here. No hookups or other amenities other than trash bins.

We ended up at this campground sort of on accident- it’s way out of the way and the road there isn’t the most pleasant (it’s mostly paved but in very poor shape). There was absolutely nobody there, other than day use visitors to the creek.
Lots of bugs attacking us as we walked around.
No trash service here- pack out your trash please.
This is a state campground, but it feels like a standard USFS campground. It’s a self pay situation, no host or rangers nearby. Being that it’s a state campground, you pay the $20 camp fee, and then another $11 per day state park fee (unless you have the $39 annual pass). The state park fee feels like a money grab in situations like this. I can see if there’s an actual state park with other activities and facilities that are connected to the campground, but this is literally just a campground, with no amenities other than a vault toilet. Hmph. $31/night is way, way too much for what you get here.
Zero cell service in this entire area. The road got worse driving east across the bridge past this campground, so if you are like us and wanted to take the scenic route along the coast to Marquette, I’d recommend not doing that unless you have a beefy vehicle and don’t mind all the bumps.
GuideVery 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.
GuideVery 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.
GuideStayed on a Wednesday and there was space available but booked solid for weekends. Filled up by 4 pm. Spots are small, side-by-side and no privacy, but they have several spots to watch spectacular sunsets. That was worth the stay.
RangerThis is a small campground, with sites that are somewhat close together. However, there’s a great view of Lake Superior, and the sunset from our site was wonderful. (Site 7) Nice and quiet too. We’d return if we’re in the area again.
ScoutThe bathrooms and showers were awesome and made for an easy experience even if tent camping. The view only 200 feet in front of the site was crazy and amazing. The pics are all from right out front of the site. Excellent campground!!

Campground is well laid out. Location is on Torch Lake in the town of Lake Linden MI. Well maintained and friendly campers all around.
The college town of Houghton, home of Michigan Tech is nearby as well.
TravelerCampground 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!
ScoutThe campgrond ok the bathrooms nice the site we had was not very good did not like it by road but all site you can hear traffic it was loud and not camper friendly to set out side at all so I will not go back they give you rules and one was don't leave dogwood in site and we had it at our site we went to breakfast one morning came back and the man his wife camping in front was standing outside his slide and peeing just pretty disgusting. So no will not go back was not fun experience
ScoutNice campground, bathrooms aren’t the best. Tent camping sites are nice some are spacious, some are close to each other.
TravelerSpent the 4th of July here on site #5. Grounds are very clean and well maintained. Sites 7,8,9,10 have the best water views.

Excellent low-frills campground. Picturesque backdrop, nicely positioned spots. First come first served. Water, picnic table, fire ring. It’s all you need! Well maintained, clean bathroom, potable water. Will be back when heading to Isle Royale. Price is now $20/night.
ScoutOverall, it’s a very nice park. Sites are mostly level & of adequate size. Bathrooms & showers are top notch (relatively speaking). There’s a 3/4 mile trail at back of park that well short, is quite nice. The campground itself is quiet, the noise from hwy 41 on the other hand, is noticeable yet not a dealbreaker. Well situated to check out the area.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. I'd like to give a warm welcome to your hosts, Madeline & AJ. These hosts have put so much care and thought into their property. camping space is available for tents or rvs, and there are hiking trails throughout the property. Check them out and leave them some love!
ScoutThis campground is right next to the highway and the traffic noise goes on all night. Granted, there is a beautiful view of the bay since there is no tree line to buffer the noise, but it’s very difficult to enjoy that view due to the constant racket. I will not be back.
