Ahmeek Coppermine Camp

We had a great weekend camping here. I’ll start by saying that you can’t expect a resort for a rustic campground. This is an old mining site and is rough and rustic, but it is very clearly advertised that way on the website before you book. This campground has a lot of potential and they’re clearly working to get it off the ground. We had plenty of space because it wasn’t too busy, but if it were a busy weekend, it would have been less enjoyable. We arrived after dark for a tent site, but a lot of the tent sites are small, some are unlevel and we couldn’t fit on a site. However, we have a rooftop tent on a full-size truck and probably should have booked an RV site anyway. We drove around and picked an empty site that would work for us and the office staff had no issue with us moving sites. The campground is quiet (only a little road noise) with an unbeatable view of the stars. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit. Some sites had debris from the industrial days, but nothing that would harm our kids or dogs. An employee came by to drop off some wood and gave us directions to a private beach to hunt for Yooperlites. He even lent us his light and extra batteries. It didn’t disappoint, we found at least ten Yooperlites and the views were incredible. Checkout isn’t until 1pm, and for anyone tent camping that is awesome because it gives time for the sun to hit your gear and dry before you pack up. Overall, it was a great stay. We were skeptical pulling in because it is truly industrial and rustic, but it was peaceful, safe and a great place to stay with our family for the weekend. Can’t wait to see the progress…We’ll be back!

This campsite has the best location and convenience to trails and hiking because of its quick access to the main roads around there. We came up for a weekend of trailing and we were super glad to find this place because it allowed us more time to spend trailing and hiking. Has firepits, running water, picnic tables and plenty of shaded areas. The best part was our campground manager, Justin. Justin was at our service from the second we pulled in to make sure our time up here was spent to the fullest. He was our tour guide, area expert, secret beach and trail coordinator, trail rescuer, and incredibly friendly. He took the time to make sure we took the trails safely and even got us unstuck at one point with his own equipment. If it wasn’t for him we would have missed a lot. We’re definitely coming back up to revisit next year!

This campsite was amazing! The worker there was so kind and very helpful when you needed it. On top of that everything was organized well, very peaceful, quiet, beautiful forest, and really cool buildings for you to sleep in. But to mention they provide you with free firewood. Looking forward to going there next time! Best campsite ever!

We spent 2 nights 3 days here and it was so peaceful and quiet. Nice giant camp fire rings that kept us toasty in the evenings and to star gaze the dark sky. Great location to see the many sites of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Surprisingly we had perfect cell phone service as well. Stacey was amazing, she and Blue met us at the check in and brought us to our camp sites, and made sure we had everything we needed. She even allowed us to tag along on a Yooper lite adventure. We had a blast here and loved every second if it. Highly recommend!!!

Really cramped. There's a decent number of sites but that's only because we're all packed tightly. No privacy. No picnic tables on site like a lot of other sites either. It's right next to a decrepit looking industrial building that's apparently still in use. The trail in the campsite is narrow and rugged, you don't need an suv, but it would be preferable. There's lots of mosquitoes. Fortunately the campsites are all on woodchips and not rocky dirt one Porta potty and an out of place playset for little kids

We love this campground! This was our second year in a row going for Memorial Day weekend and we’ve decided to make it our yearly tradition. There’s tons of beautiful woods to explore and cool rocks to find. The old mine buildings are so cool to check out! There’s not a bunch of people when we go and even though we had camp neighbors (kind of) this time it was still super quiet. The first year we went we went tent camping and this year we stayed in one of their cabins, both experiences were great! The cabins super handy for keeping you out of the chilly wind and man the bed in there was so much better than sleeping on the ground lol. The people that run it are so nice! I highly recommend if you’re looking for a rustic adventure! I can’t wait until next year so we can go back! Thanks for the good times Ahmeek Coppermine Camp :)

The site was as rustic as advertised. It was very quiet. I think we were the only campers there the night we stayed…. Which made the experience eery and maybe a little bit scary. Solitude can be nice but my wife (usually an intrepid traveler) at first wanted to find alternate accommodations. Despite her doubts, we went with it. The campsite itself was more than adequate and clean. The biggest drawback of primitive camping is normally the disgusting pit toilets / outhouses. However, the toilets near our campsite were immaculate! To me, this shows pride in management of the ownership and is something you either have or don’t. You can’t fake that. There are mosquitos in the area so dress accordingly and bring repellent. I would suggest that ownership try to address the issue if possible. The campground has a lot of potential. Not sure if guided tours in the upper mine shafts are possible but we would’ve been interested. I could easily imagine ghost stories around the campfire or even a haunted Halloween mining camp for the locals. Seriously, coming in at dusk, on a rainy evening to an empty old mining facility was surreal… could be the opening scene to a vintage 1970’s horror film. Altogether, the experience was positive and I hope ownership continues to develop the property into its full potential.

This camp ground is definitely rustic! I can sadly say seeing the pictures online while booking are misleading when you arrive and see the condition of the cabins. The process of booking and having to pay extra to lock in your cabin in fear of getting switched to a different cabin, then when you show up you are the only people at the entire campground was unreal. Checking in was sketchy as I called the number provided and never heard from anyone. 30 mins after seeing my cabin I texted and asked to switch cabins due to flys, bees and mold. All the cabins are in really rough shape and dirty because we had to go in each one to find one that we could sleep in for the night, again all where in very rough dirty condition, one had a broken window as we watched a red squirrel go in and out of the cabin. 4 hours later I received a non concerned response hoping I was "Good". I had the cabin booked from Friday to Sunday but woke up Saturday morning and packed up left. Also a Person who sleeping in their truck outside our cabin when we woke up was disturbing...... definitely wish it was what we thought it would be seeing the pictures and reading from the website. I agree, it's a good concept and has potential but seems rundown and neglected. Very disappointed to say the least.
