Welcome to our 40-acre property—a beautiful blend of woods and farmland. Whether you're looking to explore nature or just relax, there's something here for everyone. Wander through a mix of forest trails and open space, or enjoy a peaceful stroll through our working fruit and vegetable farm. While our campsite is pet friendly, we do ask that you keep your pets out of the garden areas. Wildlife is abundant—keep an eye out for deer, birds, and more. Our serene pond is a perfect spot to unwind as you listen to frogs and watch turtles and ducks in their natural habitat. Wild apple trees and thimbleberries dot the property and you're welcome to pick from them in season. A nearby trail connects directly to town and larger trail systems, making it easy to explore the area on foot or by bike. We’re just up the road from Hungarian Falls, a beautiful nature preserve with scenic hiking trails, swimming spots, and cascading waterfalls. The historic town of Calumet is only 7 minutes away, home to charming shops, dining, and part of the Keweenaw National Historical Park. Local attractions include: Swedetown Recreation Area – mountain biking and hiking trails Calumet Lions Park – disc golf, horseshoes, and nature trails Calumet Golf Course – only 2 minutes away from us Calumet Township Waterworks Park – volleyball, basketball, picnic areas, and Lake Superior access Heading south, you’ll find more adventures within 30 minutes, including Nara Nature Park, Michigan Tech Trails, Maasto Hiihto Trails, and the Portage Canal. For bigger excursions, Mt. Bohemia is just 40 minutes north, and Copper Harbor—with epic views and even more trails—is a bit further beyond. Although we’re close to several towns and outdoor destinations, our property is peaceful and private. It’s the perfect basecamp for your Keweenaw adventure.Enjoy a quiet stay tucked away in the woods, surrounded by wild apple trees and nature. Your private campsite includes a picnic table, campfire area, potable water jug, trash can and room to spread out to make your stay comfortable. With no other campsites nearby, you’ll have uninterrupted views of nature. Our portapotty is a short walk back up to the driveway and is located across from the garage. Explore our 40-acre property at your own pace. During the season, you’re welcome to pick apples and thimbleberries. We have several walking trails and 2 acres of active farmland that you’re welcome to walk through on a self-guided tour. Please note: our farm is our full-time job, and we stay busy with daily tasks. While we're happy to share the space, we won't be available for guided tours or extended visits. However, our farm stand is open every Tuesday from 3–6 PM if you’d like fresh produce. We’re located in a historic mining town, so you'll find old mine ruins, hoists, and fascinating historic sites nearby. Just a 5-minute drive away is Hungarian Falls, a local favorite for hiking, swimming, and waterfall views. Within 10 minutes, you'll reach multiple recreation and shopping areas in the historic Calumet area. Within 30 minutes of your campsite, you’ll find endless opportunities for outdoor adventure—hiking, biking, paddling, swimming, and sightseeing. Check out the Quincy Mine Hoist tour in Hancock (just 10 minutes away), or head north to Copper Harbor for world-class mountain biking, scenic Lake Superior views, and great local eats. If you're looking to relax, the hot tubs & spa at Mt. Bohemia Ski Resort are only 40 minutes away, just before you reach Copper Harbor.

It is a lovely little campsite. It was so private and the folks left me alone which was great! I like to be left alone and have help when I need it. I ran my battery dead charging my phone and Ashley was super great about helping getting it started. I will definitely be back 😁

Perfect spot!

Tent

Such a great site! Very large and private. Really nice to have a picnic table and a few chairs to use. Wonderful they have a fire pit there. The dark sky was excellent for our Aurora Borealis watching. The trees all around were beautiful at this time of year.

The site was a perfect tent site. It was quiet and neatly mowed. Very clean outhouse also. The grounds were very fun to explore. Would definitely go again.

We had a great time! Hosts Ashley and Jake were very friendly on the couple of occasions we crossed paths. They left us a cooler of water and a container with newspaper and a lighter for the fire. The site also had a picnic table, a fire pit, and a few plastic chairs. The space was very private and well-groomed and there’s plenty of their cute farm to explore! The site has a bit of a slope, but flattens out towards the back so there’s still a comfy spot to put a small - midsize tent.

WONDERFUL experience :)

The land at Ashley's was lovely! The secluded area offered a lot of privacy. The property was beautiful and easy to find. The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She even brought down water, fire-starting material, and a lighter for us. A picnic table and chairs were provided. There was a porta potty and sink as well. HIGHLY recommend staying here. I felt safe and loved my stay there :)

Magical and peaceful stay

Tent · With pets

We loved our stay at Apple Tree site! It was both ethereal and satisfying. We were greeted and felt very comfortable with the arrangements provided. The space and hosts were very accommodating. If you have a chance to experience the Keewenaw Peninsula- DO consider THIS camp site for a magical and peaceful stay. Highly recommended!!
