Hancock Recreation Area Beach & Campground

If you’re looking for a great base camp to hike, ride or explore the Copper Harbor area this is a great place to stay. Also a very safe place to stay if you want to set up a place after Isle Royale NP. The upper campground has both electric & water. Site #5 has 50 amp. Sites 1-6 has both electric & water. The lower portion by the river only has electric. Bathrooms and Showers were clean. Camphost very accommodating. You can buy ice & firewood there. Hancock and Houghton very close. Walmart within minutes. Sea Plane & Ranger III within minutes if you are going to IRNP. They’re WIFI is awesome!!!

The Hancock Campground is in a good location if you want to visit the Keweenaw Peninsula yet still have city services available. It's about an hour from Copper Harbor so you can still visit the tip of the peninsula easily. The RV sites in this park vary widely in quality. There are a handful that have some level of privacy from your neighbor. But many of the sites are haphazardly designed and you may end up backing up to your neighbors firepit or picnic table. So picking a good site is very important at this campground. The tent sites however are quite nicely designed with lots of space and privacy tucked back in to the woods.

Great city rv park. Strong electric, very good wifi, & beautiful view from sites along the river, especially during the fall color season. Site 53 is the best water site, especially during the fall color season, with a beautiful view of the hills across the river . Nice variety of electric & or water sites & shade or sunny sites. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days here, while we toured the Keweenaw peninsula for the fall color.

Friendly staff and a nice place, sites are packed a little tight so I imagine backing a rig in during the weekend is not fun, but I was able to drive all over the site across from us to get situated during the week. Sites appear to be oriented in small groups, so not a lot of privacy, but you can only see 2-3 neighbors and it's quiet, would be great if you were gathering with friends.
