L'ANSE TOWNSHIP PARK & CAMPGROUND
(906) 524-6985; lansetownship.org
The modern, 30-site campground in this bluff-top park overlooking Keweenaw Bay is a real find. It's quiet, pretty, and shaded by pines and hemlocks. To keep it peaceful, it's supervised from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Campers get keys to the showers. Rates are $18/night for trailers, $15/night for tents. 50, 30, and 20 amp electricity. A gravelly swimming beach is down the hill and across the road. The services of a state park (showers, electricity, flush toilets, dump station, playground) are here without the crowds. See L'Anse Township Park for details about the site.
