This was a beautifully kept peaceful campground. The only negatives were sites were a bit small (we didn't want to pay the extra $2 for a pull thruough) and most were unlevel. Other than that - the workers were very friendly and helpful, there weren't many other campers so it was peaceful. We had a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of places to hike, bike and sight-see. Best meal in town is at the Harbor Haus! It ranks in the top 10 of places I've eaten. A very enjoyable stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only thing that would improve the campground is full hookups. We stayed in the west loop this time , but we have stayed in the east loop before as well. The sites in the west loop are more private. There are laundry facilities in the east loop. The local area is really cool, lots of things to see and shops to go in. Don't miss Brockway mountain drive for the sunset(and the only place in town for cell signal). Another neat place is a bakery on M26 outside of town called the Jampot that is run by Byzantine monks, excellent baked goods!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Michigan state parks get a bad rap, in general, but Fort Wilkins SP is a true gem. Just spent 6 days there. Serene, isolated, and beautiful best describe the area. The tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula just doesn't get much traffic. Used pull-through site #158, but all sites are easily accessible, depending on size of rig. Even on a weekend the CG was maybe 40% full. During the week we had the place virtually to ourselves. Pull-through sites are large, nicely separated from neighbors by trees/shrubs. All sites are separated from adjacent sites in same manner. The CG itself is immaculate. Didn't see a single piece of trash in six days. Bathing/restroom facilities also immaculate. Quiet hours are ALL hours, not just evenings. Unlike many lower peninsula state parks, where the campers are often rude, obnoxious, and inconsiderate, this CG was a real exception. The peninsula area offers many activities from hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, snorkeling/diving, kayaking, biking to name a few. Courteous, friendly staff and CG host. This park is well worth the extra drive. It renews faith in the MI state park system. We will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Campground facilities do not deserve this low a rating. This rating is given because of unflexable customer service demonstrated by owner/manager. We arrived at 11am. Check in time is posted as 12 noon. We had to wait for an hour in the parking lot to comply with the stated rules. There were only 4 sites out of the 64 sites in the Campground occupied. The ower was very busy vacuming the office floor upon our arrival. The only reason these people can stay in business is they have the only water and sewer sites in Copper Harbor. The State Park Facilities are far superior but do not have these hook ups. They will newer get another penny of my money and I would urge all to stay away. I understand why rules are necessary, but common sense needs to also be applied to all situations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the full hookup sites. They are quite large and have all the amenities including cable. However, be sure to ask for a site with hookups on the left or be prepared to bring an extra water and sewer hose and possibly an electric extension. I was able to park our trailer at an angle in such a way that we could run water and electric to the post located most inconveniently on the right side of the site. The owners really should consider modernizing their hookups to the current standard. That said, this was a very nice place to stay; the owner/manager was very nice and accommodating when we asked to stay in a our site two additional nights. The place was very quiet and peaceful. Copper Harbor is the best kept secret of the Midwest! Be sure to have dinner at Harbor Haus German restaurant in town, it was a wonderful, memorable meal. We would definitely come back to this place! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Free wi-fi internet was just added 2 weeks ago. Considering the water/ele. sites were $10/night less than full-hookups (includes wi-fi but no cable/sewer), we probably would pick those sites if we were to return. We have no kids and had plenty to do to entertain ourselves with all the mountain biking, road biking and kayaking opportunities in the area. Rumor is that there's no fish in the lake, but we only fished from the docks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
