Perfectly situated few minutes from the small downtown of Gwinn, 35 minutes from Marquette, and a 1 hour drive to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Gwinn is home to a few bars and restaurants, many lakes for fishing, a grocery, Ace Hardware, USPS and Library. It’s an easy drive down a maintained road, followed by two miles of seasonal road that is well maintained in the summer by the road commission. I drive a Toyota Corolla and have no trouble getting in and out. Cell phone service works regardless of carrier.
Parking is not directly at the campsites. It is a short walk through the woods or the clearing to setup camp.
I will often, but not always be on site. Currently camping most of the time as well as I rebuild the cabin.
Amenties and guidelines:
-Large campfire available in the clearing when there isn't a fire ban (no fires at the sites in the woods, and no burning of anything besides untreated wood and paper/cardboard without plastic or tape). Currently unsplit log rounds are available for splitting and use (splitting maul available)
-Rain Barrel Shower
-Lawn chairs available (soon tables as well)
-Shared Outdoor Kitchen (two burner propane cooktop, sink)
-Potable Water
-Two compost outhouses
-Returnables deposit (cans and bottles)
-Carryout all trash
Bugs are typically bad for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. I treat the swamps and marshes with a product that kills mosquito larvae and is not harmful to the rest of the wildlife, as well as hanging mosquito traps.
There are not established trails, but you are welcome to wander in my forty acres enjoying the old grown White Pines, granite ridges, teenage sugar maples and wildlife.
The address in google maps does not bring you directly to the driveway, but there will be signs for White Pine Woods.
