Description

State Park

Named after the nearby historic copper mine site, White Pine Extension Outpost is a small, eight-site rustic campground located a couple of miles from Summit Peak Scenic Area. It offers solitude and a camping experience unlike a typical state park modern campground. The sites are ideal for tent, van or compact campers.

There is a vault toilet, but no running water is available at any of the outpost campgrounds. You can access water at the park headquarters or visitor center.

Park roads close Dec. 1 through late spring. Specifically, County Road M-107 closes at the Whitetail parking area and South Boundary Road closes at Headquarters Road south to the Pinkerton Trailhead. You can still access Presque Isle scenic area by traveling north on County Road 519 just east of Wakefield. Both roads transition to designated snowmobile trails during the snowmobile season and remain closed until deemed safe to travel by the Ontonagon County Road Commission.

Great Rustic Campground

Awesome little campground on the south side of the Porcupines. It’s in a convenient location to the hiking around the park. The sites are large, the campground is small (and quiet) and there’s even a creek that runs along the west side of the campground. We stayed in site 1. If you do cook using the fire pit grates, they do not have them here in the fire pits at this campground. You need to reserve sites and check in at the visitor center before you head to the site. I’d highly recommend this place to anybody in a tent especially!

Quiet, beautiful stars

We had site 6. It was large enough for our 17 foot camper. From this campsite it’s about a 15 minute drive to Lake Superior beach, camp store, water, and presque isle. Beautiful hikes all around the park. Could hike for days and have gorgeous views. Pit toilet available.
