Positives:
Great staff, an excellent job at maintenance, fun location, well laid out and few or no branches/trees for big rigs to navigate. Dump station is east to use and there are multiple trash dumpsters and multiple dog bag garbages. Boat launch area has a large area for parking, prices are good. Nice kids play are.

We got there early. The lady in the entrance building was very efficient. She had the groundskeeper go check our site before we pulled over there. There's local information inside the building. We rode the mountain bike trails in Houghton. We liked the ones in Hancock better-drive to the north end parking lot to start.
The campground was full and I think it's hard to keep the showers clean, what with all the kids running in and out with dirty feet, so wear flipflops. The sites are dirt or grass. Ours was very flat. Table and fire ring.
I think you get traffic noise anywhere in this campground-the quarry across the road, or the highway across the river. The sites along the river had a great view. We were in the trees, which could be good if it were hot. It was a bit dark for us, but we weren't there much.
Cell service was pretty good, I think. It's been a few days since we were there.

We averaged $26 / night for E50/I. Our dirt site in this heavily forested city campground overlooked a scenic lake. Sites were nicely spread out and with the heavy wooded area we could not easily see sites beside us. Internet service was good. The biggest drawback is that we could not get level and therefore could not open our slides. Our site sloped 8 to 10 inches between rear and front tires. Because of the inability to level, I gave this 3 stars. It would've been lower if the price had not bee so low.
All of the Keewanaw Peninsula is within an hour drive. Not to be missed is Brockway Mountain. We watched the sunset over Lake Superior 700 feet below us then drove 10 minutes to the other side and watched the full moon rise over Copper Harbor 30 minutes later. It was fantastic!!! The self guided Delaware Copper Mine tour taking us 1400 feet underground was also very interesting.

Great site. We had power but no water. The bathrooms were clean with hot water. We had free WiFi which was nice. You can walk to the city beach. We road bikes they have several bike paths close by. We drive around to check out the area.

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.
