Site 4 - Keweenaw Homestead Camping
Peaceful Campsite
We loved staying on this property. Evan was an excellent host. He came to check on us after we got settled in and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The site was very peaceful, private and provided relaxing views. The campsite was well maintained as well. The location of this property is excellent as there are many areas to explore nearby. We will definitely go back here if we are in the area in the future. Absolutely recommend this spot!

Site 1 - Keweenaw Homestead Camping
There were many things we loved about our stay at Keweenaw Homestead, the beautiful, pastoral setting being the primary one. We accidentally camped in the “communal area.:” The vista from there was of lovely low woods and shrubs on the the left (with a pond just beyond our view), an expansive pasture with two unusual cows grazing peacefully in the middle adding to the homestead feel, and glimpses of Lake Superior off in the distance to the right. Another plus was the willingness of the host to accommodate to our preferences and let us stay in that spot rather than Site 1 as booked. We enjoyed walking the trails, birding, a lovely campfire on a perfect evening. There were a few areas that need improvement. I don’t know how we could possibly have gotten my camper up to Site 1, and it wasn't close to level. Sites 2 and 3 were Tents Only, but would have required multiple trips up a hill a fair distance over grass with a hand cart. As others have mentioned, the outhouse was unreasonably far from the campsites, especially from Site 4, though it was lovely.. The signage to the campsites needs improvement, the grass lane needs to be widened, and parking/turnaround areas added to 1-3. Also, the water source was a hose by the outhouse, and drinking from hoses has been deemed unsafe. There is a huge amount of potential for incredible camping at Keweenaw Homestead, but it’s not quite there yet. I hope they keep with it. I would recommend it with the above caveats.

Easy Breezy camping near Houghton
First time Hipcamp user and the whole process was very easy. Worked just like VRBO or AirBnB, but for private camping sites. Site was well-maintained and everything was as advertised. It was a private and quiet site on a pretty spot. Evan greeted us upon arrival and emailed us prior to arrival. He was great. Thumbs up!

Great location! Super close to Lake Superior, the land is well kept and easy to access. Plus super cute cows to welcome you!! So cute. For rustic tent sites you have to unload your car and walk a few meters to designated campsite. Will return to this Hipcamp if ever in the Houghton area! Thank you Evan.
