Keweenaw Homestead Camping

Beautiful property out in nature, by a pond with lovely vocal frogs & insects. Host was super friendly and helpful, came and met us & showed us in. Loved his outhouse loo (it is a walk a way but no more than a store car lot to the store for example). Basic amenities but lovely and clean, ground is off road but firm and my minivan was fine. Beautiful open sky, view of the lake and sunrise / sunset was beautiful if you walk to the open field where lake view is.

Peaceful Campsite

We loved staying on this property. Evan was an excellent host. He came to check on us after we got settled in and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The site was very peaceful, private and provided relaxing views. The campsite was well maintained as well. The location of this property is excellent as there are many areas to explore nearby. We will definitely go back here if we are in the area in the future. Absolutely recommend this spot!

Mixed feelings

12 ft pop-up camper ·

There were many things we loved about our stay at Keweenaw Homestead, the beautiful, pastoral setting being the primary one. We accidentally camped in the “communal area.:” The vista from there was of lovely low woods and shrubs on the the left (with a pond just beyond our view), an expansive pasture with two unusual cows grazing peacefully in the middle adding to the homestead feel, and glimpses of Lake Superior off in the distance to the right. Another plus was the willingness of the host to accommodate to our preferences and let us stay in that spot rather than Site 1 as booked. We enjoyed walking the trails, birding, a lovely campfire on a perfect evening. There were a few areas that need improvement. I don’t know how we could possibly have gotten my camper up to Site 1, and it wasn't close to level. Sites 2 and 3 were Tents Only, but would have required multiple trips up a hill a fair distance over grass with a hand cart. As others have mentioned, the outhouse was unreasonably far from the campsites, especially from Site 4, though it was lovely.. The signage to the campsites needs improvement, the grass lane needs to be widened, and parking/turnaround areas added to 1-3. Also, the water source was a hose by the outhouse, and drinking from hoses has been deemed unsafe. There is a huge amount of potential for incredible camping at Keweenaw Homestead, but it’s not quite there yet. I hope they keep with it. I would recommend it with the above caveats.

Easy Breezy camping near Houghton

Tent · Group trip ·

First time Hipcamp user and the whole process was very easy. Worked just like VRBO or AirBnB, but for private camping sites. Site was well-maintained and everything was as advertised. It was a private and quiet site on a pretty spot. Evan greeted us upon arrival and emailed us prior to arrival. He was great. Thumbs up!

Great location! Super close to Lake Superior, the land is well kept and easy to access. Plus super cute cows to welcome you!! So cute. For rustic tent sites you have to unload your car and walk a few meters to designated campsite. Will return to this Hipcamp if ever in the Houghton area! Thank you Evan.

Great Camping Spot

Tent · Group trip ·

Evan is one of the nicest people I have ever met. His land is beautiful and provided great amenities for the price. The outhouse is a bit of a walk (not too bad) but it gives you a chance to say Good Morning to the cows and is very well maintained. Night skies on a clear night are unbelievable. Will definitely be staying here again.

This was such an incredible private spot! The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and had such a beautiful property. The outhouse was well maintained and very clean. We had a wonderful time stargazing and enjoying the quiet nights! It was also in a great location in between cities so it was very convenient to get to calumet and houghton.

Site 2 - Keweenaw Homestead Camping

What a great, private, clean and quiet location. We stayed at site 1 and used our rooftop tent. Owners were very kind and were available if needed. They offered great advice on the area attractions too. 45 min travel to Copper Harbor which was a nice scenic drive. If we are in the area again, I will definitely be back to stay here.

A Great Host!

We very much enjoyed staying at Evan's property. The site was lovey, well kept, and a nice quiet place to come back to after exploring Keweenaw Peninsula. The cows were adorable and the roses along the driveway were spectacular. Evan was a wonderful host with many great tips about the area.

Site 2 - Keweenaw Homestead Camping

We hd an excellent time at Evans Homestead. We were in site 4 with a 34’ Motorhome and trailer. It’s a tight ride back with such a big vehicle but the site is absolutely stunning. The property is amazing. We will absolutely go back.

Very Secluded

Tent ·

Evan was super chill and accommodating. He even recommended some things for us to explore in the area and told us where we could refuel for a good price. His homestead is completely off grid and rustic, and our spot was very private. We saw a few different water birds, and we accidentally startled a deer that was wandering by. If you are looking for seclusion, this is your spot. If you normally spend most of your time in a city, be sure to ask which building is the toilet and how to use the water pump.

Evan was very accommodating to situate our smallish pop up camper in site 1. Sites are large, include picnic tables and fire ring - most are walk-in. Sites 1-3 are set within a lovely serviceberry forest teeming with birds and adjacent to a large pond. Very clean outhouse and water are about a 5 minute walk away. Great location to access Isle Royale via Sea Plane.

Such a beautiful piece of land, we really enjoyed our short time here. We were immediately greeted and provided with a cart to transport our stuff to our site. Our campsite was very private with wonderful views. Evan was very accessible through phone and provided us with dry fire wood and a blow torch when we were struggling to light our fire due to wet conditions, which was a great help. The outhouse was also one of the cleanest I have ever used. You can really tell he cares about your experience on his land, we were very pleased. Would recommend this to anybody camping in the Houghton area!

We loved the nights we spent on Evan's property. Site #4 was secluded and quiet, just how we like it. Close to beaches, parks, and all the rocks you could want. If we ever make it back to the area we will be staying here again.

Camping with Sandhill cranes

Great location being central to many day trip Kenweenaw Peninsula destinations. Pleasant surprise to restoration to 1800’s historic town of Calumet, the saloon’s are welcoming the town theater provide fabulous live performances. Having the plethora of retail shops in close by Houghton was very handy to purchase items needed. Icing on cake was very helpful & accommodating host Evan to assure the campsite was great experience.

We stayed here for 3 nights (#4). It’s a very nice, private campsite. The host was great. It’s a long walk to the privy, but the scenery along the way is quite pleasant. We saw a pair of Sandhill Cranes everyday. It’s a good spot from which to explore some of the many wonderful sights of the Keweenaw

We had a lovely time camping at Keweenaw Homestead! Evan was very kind and helpful, we felt welcome and enjoyed ourselves very much. Would love to stay again and absolutely recommend staying here if you have the chance! The property was beautiful, outhouse clean and comfortable, water from the pump was cool and refreshing. The campsites and trails to them are beautiful and nicely maintained, and the provided cart was such a help.
