    What an incredible place. The campground employees were very helpful. The historic Fort Wilkins is full of history and such a nice short walk from the campground. And just across the street is a public park that is a perfect overview of the lighthouse for those of us unwilling to hike out there.

    Fantastic summer get a way nestled at the tip of the Kewenaw Peninsula. During the summer months the park is ran like the mititary fort it is. Folks churning butter, soldiers at parade, blacksmith clanging away. It's a treat when the cannons go off.

    Good campground nothing really unusual here, but the fort is really cool to visit for a couple hours the scenery is beautiful and the nearby town has enough, a store a microbrewery a few restaurants and a park with a better playground than one would expect from a one room school, not to mention the dock. I met some people who lived there in the bar and they were friendly and helpful. They seemed happy to have all the tourists spending money.

    Excellently restored fort in Copper Harbor. Informative displays about life in the fort in the 1800s as well as the efforts undergone to unearth and restore the various buildings. Best of all, it’s free for state rec pass-holders!

    Neat old fort in Copper Harbor at northern tip of the Keweenaw peninsula. The state is doing a great job of restoration and there are a lot of artifacts in the old restored buildings. The fort is part of a very nice state park facility with camping and other facilities.

    History comes alive. Very good restoration, wonderful displays and artifacts. Best of all it is free with a state park pass.

    By far one of the nicest state campgrounds I have ever stayed at and I have camped at quite a few. The east side seems to have larger lots that are open and grassy, where as the west side is a bit more woody. Most the sites on the west side looked more privately tucked away in the woods with dirt sites. It's absolutely beautiful being next to lake fanny hoe and Lake Superior. And of course the fort is just a short walk from the campground. The bathrooms are very nice and are kept clean.

    Very quiet here. Neat bit of history in the old buildings. Campgrounds are spacious and well maintained. Only negative is the communal showers in the west campground.

    Such a cool place to look at the history of Michigan and a great place for a nature watch.

    Pretty interesting and historic place to visit. Really cool to see how the old timers used to live up here in the cold

    Nice chance to see a restored historic fort that most people don't even know exists. The restored buildings also have exhibits inside to explain life at the time.
