CAMPING & TRANSPORT IN
THE KEWEENAW
Four types of camping are
available on and near the Keweenaw Peninsula:
Michigan State Parks, municipal, private, & U.S.
Forest Service.
Please note: as inviting as it may seem, do not just pull over
and pitch your tent.
For many years now, most land in the Keweenaw is privately owned.
In Michigan, private lands DO NOT NEED TO BE POSTED to prevent
uninvited guests.
Rather, it is the responsibility of the guest to obtain formal
permission allowing access to a property.
