Facing directly west, the campsite offers front-row seats to captivating sunsets over the glistening waters of the Portage Canal. And if luck is on your side, the Northern Lights might dance across the sky, accompanied by the magical glow of fireflies, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Bliss Shores is designed for those who truly appreciate the raw beauty of nature. This primitive camping site encourages a minimalistic approach, asking guests to leave no trace and to embrace the simplicity of outdoor living. You must have your own toilet. The untouched grass underfoot and the need for four-wheel drive access underscore the site's untouched beauty, offering an authentic wilderness experience.
Despite its secluded feel, Bliss Shores is just a stone's throw from urban convenience, being merely minutes from downtown Hancock and Houghton. It serves as the perfect base camp for exploring the wider Keweenaw Peninsula—from the rugged landscapes of Copper Harbor and the Porcupine Mountains to the soothing Nordic spa at Mount Bohemia and the enchanting Hungarian Falls.
Bliss Shores Campsite is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience, a journey, and a testament to the beauty of the Copper Island. We invite you to join us in this paradise, to explore, to relax, and to create unforgettable stories. Welcome to our home base and ideal location, where every day is an adventure waiting to unfold.

The shower was amazing as it was around 30° with windchill! Waking up near the lake is a bonus, you can catch a good sunrise and sunset here. This is my second time here and I am sure not the last.

This is a nice little campsite on Lake Superior with plenty of beach to walk in both directions. We really enjoyed our late season camping trip and lucked out on the fantastic weather. Host was great and accommodating. We would love to stay again.

Great spot on a Great Lake! Hard to find privacy like this in the Porkies. We appreciated the outhouse, two picnic tables, and giant fire ring. Even got lucky to see Northern Lights. Will be back.

Thank you Michael for a beautiful view of Sandy Lake!! The only thing I would change with our stay would be to update the toilet situation via install a toilet with water that’s plumbed into a drain field etc. The sauna was cool :) 🐻

My partner, dogs and I loved tent camping on Pat’s land! The lake (bay) was so close, and it was so quiet and private there. It was well worth the extra time to get there!

Beautiful little spot. Private and very quiet over night It is close to the highway but noise was during the day not at night. It's hidden from the road so it's a nice spot. Close to lots of activities and not too far from town. We will be back.

We had a wonderful time at Beach Camp! We were in a tent, so loved the flushing toilet! The road is close, but we found the convenience of it well worth any noise we may have heard. There is a full tree line between the camping area and it, so you can’t see the cars, only occasionally hear them when at the campsite - never by the beach. The beach area is to die for. So close to camp and just a haven.

This is the most beautiful and serene location along Lake Superior! There are kayaks, bikes, and corn hole available for use, but it’s also a great place to sit and relax on the beach and enjoy the lake. The bathroom was very clean and water pump convenient. Doug and April provided a lot of great information prior to my arrival to be sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would recommend this camp site in a heartbeat!

We were the only ones camping and enjoyed the privacy. In that this place is out of the way it was very, very quiet. That suited us just fine but do note the location if you have plans to be on the west side of the Keeweenaw.
We had our own kayaks and enjoyed the paddling right off the dock. Kayaks are provided if you don’t have your own. We had a lovely sunset off the dock. The porta potty may have been the cleanest I’ve been in.
