Our property is located between Marquette and Negaunee, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are 7 miles from downtown Marquette, 8 miles from the shores of beautiful Lake Superior and 53 miles from Pictured Rocks National Park. We are about 4 miles off of US 41 nestled in a quiet forest like setting. We built our home here in 2019 and are continually making improvements to the land. We tap our trees for maple syrup in the spring-you will drive by our "sugar shack" and raise chickens in our very nice coop -no roosters to awaken you! Come and enjoy some peace and quiet at our Northern Oasis! There is guest internet but its patchy in camping area-better closer to the house and large firepit area There is a charcoal grill near communal firepit area. We are near 2 river basins(McClure Basin and Dead River Basin) for fishing, swimming and boating ( kayaks and canoe for rent on this site-see extras! ) We are on the route of the Ore to Shore Mountain Bike epic and not far from the North Country Trail. We have options of open sites and a couple more private wooded sites. There are at least two areas for small campers and several choices for tents and/or hammocks.. There is a communal/central fire pit, picnic table area as well as a larger fire pit with picnic table closer to house. We have nice fire wood available on site -see "extras" or for purchase when you get here! There are yard games, extra chairs and a small table in the red shed. This can also be used as a storm shelter if needed! There is a "port-a-john" on site- extra TP is kept in red shed hanging on nail in a bag. Please let us know if this needs attention.

Stay on our quiet property near woods, river and trails. Our home is on the property with shared driveway but privacy, peace and quiet is to be had! Adventure awaits! We are approximately 7 miles from the beautiful Marquette, Mi. and Lake Superior, 4 miles from Iron Ore Heritage Trail, less than a mile from the Dead river and the McClure Basin both are great for kayaking, fishing, swimming (there is a small beach next to boat launch to the NORTH of us) as well as taking in sunrises and sunsets! Pictured Rocks National Park is about an hours drive. We are on the race route for the Ore to Shore Mountain bike epic and 15 min from the start of “the marji”. Please let us know if you need ideas for exploring the area!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite is a well-loved spot for its peaceful and spacious setting, surrounded by beautiful maples that offer plenty of shade. Guests appreciate the thoughtful layout, which balances privacy with communal spaces like the community fire pit. Hosts Brian and Joy receive high praise for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring a clean and well-maintained environment. While the lack of a shower is noted by some, the cleanliness of the porta-potties and the overall serene atmosphere make it a highly recommended stop for travelers exploring the Marquette area.

    What a fantastic Hipcamp! We got here as the sun was going down after spending the day in Marquette and I wish we would have come earlier to enjoy the amenities. Beautifully kept area with a nice path to walk our dog and a communal fire pit that we ultimately didn’t end up using since we got in late and were tired. If we’re ever back in the UP we’ll reserve again!
