Absolutely loved this campground. Very accommodating!! Austin took such great care of us when we arrived we found that the tent site we reserved was not big enough for our tent. He gave us 3 other options that were on the property! Along with that he brought us a fire ring because where we chose it was not actually a site. He also checked back with us twice during out stay to make sure all was well. And have great insite to where we could take our 4 dogs swimming!!! I loved everything about this campground besides of course the resident skunk that came to our site twice at night during our 4 night stay. Luckily we were able to keep the dogs quiet and no one got sprayed. Bathrooms were cleaned twice daily and were very nice! Hot water to boot!! Trash dumpsters were with in walking distance of sites and the boat ramp was so nice to have to close as we did bring our kayaks. Well done with this park. While we stayed we hiked Hungarian falls which is about 15 minutes away. Must see!! And drive to copper harbor. The area is beautiful and Red Dog Adventures...

Better Sleep at a Truck Stop than This Campground

I stayed in the tent area here, hoping for a quiet night. Instead, at 1:30 a.m. a diesel truck pulled into the site next to mine, left the engine running, and the driver went to sleep in the cab. The engine noise and exhaust fumes carried directly into my tent.

After an hour of this, I asked the campground host for help enforcing noise policy. I was told, “I will let my husband know,” but no action was taken. The truck ran all night long. Between the noise and the exhaust, sleep was impossible.

The most disappointing part wasn’t just the truck, it was the lack of any response from staff. Rules meant to protect campers’ experience were ignored, leaving guests to deal with the problem on their own.

If you’re looking for rest and a reliable camping environment, this isn’t the place. You’ll get a quieter, healthier night’s sleep at McLean State Park—or even at a...

We averaged $26 / night for E50/I. Our dirt site in this heavily forested city campground overlooked a scenic lake. Sites were nicely spread out and with the heavy wooded area we could not easily see sites beside us. Internet service was good. The biggest drawback is that we could not get level and therefore could not open our slides. Our site sloped 8 to 10 inches between rear and front tires. Because of the inability to level, I gave this 3 stars. It would've been lower if the price had not bee so low.

All of the Keewanaw Peninsula is within an hour drive. Not to be missed is Brockway Mountain. We watched the sunset over Lake Superior 700 feet below us then drove 10 minutes to the other side and watched the full moon rise over Copper Harbor 30 minutes later. It was fantastic!!! The self guided Delaware Copper Mine tour taking us 1400 feet underground was also very...

My husband and I had our FIRST camping experience with our Sylvan Sport Go at the Hancock Campground for five nights while our son attended a camp at Michigan Tech. We had a WONDERFUL experience! The campground was beautiful and the water was super accessible for our kayaks. The bathrooms were clean, it was quiet and peaceful, and being able to walk over to the beach and ice cream shop was great! Our campsite was very close to the camp hosts (site 37), Harry and Shelly. Shelly was amazing!! She was so friendly and helpful, always checking in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, but also giving us our space. We felt so good about leaving our things when we went to hike in Presque Isle, knowing Shelly and Harry would keep watch. I highly recommend this campground! I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often (we drove about eight hours).

We booked this place expecting to have a nice peaceful weekend in the UP, but wow were we wrong. The campsites are SO close to each other it feels as if you are all camping in one big common area. Especially tent sites 2, 4, and 6. We booked tent site 4 and could very clearly hear our neighbors quiet conversations the whole time we we're there. Not to mention there were two loud dogs on either side of us that kept barking at each other. We left after the first night and will not be returning. The positives of the campground were the cheap firewood available on site and the friendly staff. If you want a quiet campground in the wilderness of the UP, do not book this site.
