The campsite offers a peaceful and private experience with clean and well-equipped accommodations. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality of the hosts, Howard and Diane, who go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is praised for its convenience, being centrally located to nearby attractions and activities. While most reviews are positive, one mentions the proximity to US-41, which can be noisy at night.

We had the best time. Great location, lots of privacy. The camper was clean and accommodating. We had fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast. We even got to see the northern lights right from our site. We can’t wait to go back. A hidden gem in the Keweenaw.

We loved our stay here. Peaceful campground that was very quiet at night, spotlessly clean and well stocked camper. We were in town for a friend's wedding, and it was the perfect place to rest in between our busy itinerary. Wonderfully centrally located spot, it seemed like anything we wanted to do was within 5-20 minutes in either direction. We would definitely stay here again.

The BearCave was perfect! Quiet, private, very clean, and inviting. We made a late arrival and Howard was kind enough to meet us by the road and lead us right to our spot. After driving 8 hrs, he couldnt have made it easier for us. This was a quick trip this time! Convenient and affordable for our needs.

The Salem camper was perfect! Everything set and I didn't have to worry about setting up anything but my fire! Howard and Diane are wonderful hosts! I will camp here again!

Camper was completely set up. Only thing we needed were camp chairs and I brought stuff for campfire cooking. Howard and his wife were wonderful. They had planned to close. But extended it another week because weather was still good. Very peaceful setting and sites not packed tight. Definitely worth staying

Bantam Pop - Out
Showing up, I wasn't sure where to go since I didn't see the office/building shown in the listing. It was a grassy spot with fire pit, port-a-potty, and camping sink, which was good. It was pretty close to US-41, so we could hear the traffic most of the night.

We loved our recent stay! The camper was clean, on a beautiful wooded property with towering pines. Star gazing was amazing! Connects to ATV trails and convenient to Houghton and the northern peninsula - right off 41 south of Calumet. Howard and family were so kind, offering ATV tips and tours, fishing and fresh eggs from the hens on property. Loved meeting the house pups, too! Highly recommend this option for RV/camping lovers! Thanks, Howard!

The Hart’s were beyond hospitable. My best friend and I were given a tour of we’re beyond hospitable. My best friend and I were given a tour of the property on the four wheelers which was a thrilling little bonus to the trip we had already planned to Isle Royale. The RV that we stayed in was very very clean and included just about everything we needed for a comfortable evening. Without hesitation, I would stay at this location again in the future.

Nice wooded camping area, very private while we stayed as there were no other campers. Definitely checking out the rustic sites next time we like complete solitude when we go since we’re city people.

We loved staying in the Coyote Den on Howard's property. He had the camper all ready for our arrival even though it was a last minute booking. Everything was clean and neat...pads of paper, playing cards, eating dishes and the Keurig was an excellent touch! Firewood was available for us onsite, Howard was available had we needed anything. Overall a very pleasant stay!

We absolutely loved this tent site. It was private, off the road a bit and nestled in the woods by the ATV trails. We got extremely lucky and had the entire camp to ourselves, but even if there would’ve been other guests it was a large area. We were nice and near to the bathroom and they supplied plenty of water. Our dog LOVED all the wide open grassy areas to roll, run and chase his ball. They were extremely welcoming and even offered us fresh eggs from their coop and told us it was thimbleberry picking season. There was plenty of firewood at the site and down their road to purchase. It was an absolutely perfect spot for all our exploring. The location is close to both Calumet and Houghton and extremely close to the super cool Quincy Mine.

We were out exploring for the majority of our time, but it was nice to come back to the camper. it was pretty chilly one night so we turned the fireplace on, and the rest of our stay was pretty warm, so then we used the AC. This is how i like to camp😁 definitely check out houghton if you stay! such a cute downtown area and beautiful scenery

We stayed in a well equipped and maintained modern camper on a beautiful parcel of land with friendly, welcoming, and informative hosts. We plan on returning. I already recommended this camp to someone and I will feel confident recommending it to others.

The entire property was beautiful, Howard was kind enough to give us a tour. Toilets were incredibly clean and the hand washing station definitely came in handy, as well as the extra water provided. Would definitely come back with more people / family. We felt very welcome on the property (our dog too!).

Found this place by accident and I never want to stay anywhere else! Beautiful set up, WONDERFUL owners! Prime location, peaceful, clean, well maintained camper. We collect eggs from the coop for breakfast, pet the bunnies and fished in the pond. The owners gave us wonderful recommendations about places to go and things to do. I cannot recommend highly enough!
