Our campsite is nestled in mixed northern hardwoods and conifers with over a dozen species of trees around the camp area. The site is graced by a large old Oak tree and many larger Maple and Birch making it a well shaded site and protected from wind. A wildlife pond is near the tent sites which hosts frogs and turtles and an occasional passing beaver, otter or muskrat. Deer and Turkey are frequently seen and the area is on migration pathways for Raptures and many songbirds. The site is a few hundred feet from the Northwest corner of Farmers Block Road and is an ideal base camp for biking, hiking, paddling and fishing adventures in Keweenaw County. Only one mile from Lake Superior and the Gratiot River - many outdoor activities are easily accessible. Additional flat tent site undeveloped are close to the site if you have a larger group and need more tent pads let us know and we will try to accomodate you.2 generous tent pads are located within the site with cedar bark mulch bases capable of holding one large and one medium sized tent. The fire ring, picnic table and cooking shelf are within 50 feet of the tent pads and parking is available for 2-3 vehicles within 30 feet of the tent pads. The tent sites are well shaded and not visible from the main road.

Sylvan Pond Camp

Raymond and Viki have set up a wonderful site for anyone looking to camp in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There is easily room for 3 tents if needed and they are very kind hosts who provide free water and occasionally firewood for campers which is great if you're traveling long distance. The site itself is very private and tucked into a copse of oak and birch trees.

Sylvan Pond Camp

Beautiful forest and a quiet peaceful spot to camp. The picnic tables and outhouse were top notch. The provided water and firewood was an added big bonus. As was the thimbleberry patch. Would definitely stay there again

Frogs and dogs. lol

Great tent site. Convenient picnic tables, bench, privy and access. The first night, the frogs and dogs barking kept me awake. Second night was better! Would stay there again!

Sylvan Pond Camp

Pet Friendly Paradise!

My fiancee and I came to stay at this campsite and LOVED it. Ray was incredibly friendly and courteous. The camp was spacious, and could easily hold multiple tents for larger groups. The lavatory was clean, new, and well-maintained. Our 15-month-old blue heeler had lots of room to run around on her long lead, and the firepit was perfect for cooking our food. The location was nearby the Gratiot County Park, and fairly central for exploring the Keweenaw from Houghton to Copper Harbor. Would definitely like to come back!
