Matt and Candice were sitting by the fire when we arrived just at sunset. Very friendly. Let us pick a spot anywhere in the large yard to set up the tent. Matt had a long extension cord for us to use. The bathroom is not part of their living space, so you don’t have to worry about waking someone up in the middle of the night.
They had a fire going the two nights we arrived around sundown and can tell you the best place to get pasties- Krupp’s market.
Less than an hour from the Porcupine Mountains and about two hour to Copper Harbor.

We loved this place the first week of June because there were very few mosquitoes along the river near Lake Superior compared to the swarms we had encountered in the woods around the Porcupine Mountains.

Judy met us at an easy to find spot so she could show us the camp site. It is off a dirt road and just a short drive or walk down a narrow two track. Great place if you want a secluded camp site in the woods. If your car sits low to the ground, she recommends parking near the road an walking to the site.

There was a good spot for a tent, fire pit, table and chairs, and an outhouse that had screens in the small window to keep bugs out. She lets you collect your own firewood, but will have some ready if you let her know before you arrive.

There is no cellphone service, so be prepared for that. The site has no mailing address, so you can’t have your phone find it on a map. That is why Judy has to show you how to get out to the site-before dark.
It is between Marquette and Munising, a little more than a mile off the main highway. That was a good base camp for my son and I, since we visited both towns.

We were prepared for rustic camping, so the only downside to this spot was the swarms of blackflies and mosquitos that hatched the first week of June. The bug nets you wear over your head allowed us to make the best of our trip this time of year. Judy did warn us to bring the bug spray.😀
