Hancock Recreation Area - Beach & Campground

Better Sleep at a Truck Stop than This Campground I stayed in the tent area here, hoping for a quiet night. Instead, at 1:30 a.m. a diesel truck pulled into the site next to mine, left the engine running, and the driver went to sleep in the cab. The engine noise and exhaust fumes carried directly into my tent. After an hour of this, I asked the campground host for help enforcing noise policy. I was told, “I will let my husband know,” but no action was taken. The truck ran all night long. Between the noise and the exhaust, sleep was impossible. The most disappointing part wasn’t just the truck, it was the lack of any response from staff. Rules meant to protect campers’ experience were ignored, leaving guests to deal with the problem on their own. If you’re looking for rest and a reliable camping environment, this isn’t the place. You’ll get a quieter, healthier night’s sleep at McLean State Park—or even at a roadside truck stop.

Site 34 was clean and level with nice picnic table and fire pit. 30 amp hookups with regular plugs too so we were able to charge our e-bikes, big plus! No privacy but did have a nice little trail to the bathrooms and beach. Bathrooms were clean and even had a separate section for handicap showers. Laundry room, playground, dump station, boat parking and more. This is not a quiet camp, very group and toy friendly.

Great spot right on the water, clean bathrooms, wood for sale $6.00 a bundle. Sites with 30/50 and water if needed. Tent 🏕️ are absolutely stunning. Close in proximity to either Hancock, Calumet, Houghton.

We enjoyed our stay here. The lady checking us in was very nice. We are a 35ft 5th wheel with a long bed dually truck. She recommended a different site to us since it was avaliable and would better accommodate us. The wome s restrooms were clean but the men's could have used a little more attention.

Absolutely loved this campground. Very accommodating!! Austin took such great care of us when we arrived we found that the tent site we reserved was not big enough for our tent. He gave us 3 other options that were on the property! Along with that he brought us a fire ring because where we chose it was not actually a site. He also checked back with us twice during out stay to make sure all was well. And have great insite to where we could take our 4 dogs swimming!!! I loved everything about this campground besides of course the resident skunk that came to our site twice at night during our 4 night stay. Luckily we were able to keep the dogs quiet and no one got sprayed. Bathrooms were cleaned twice daily and were very nice! Hot water to boot!! Trash dumpsters were with in walking distance of sites and the boat ramp was so nice to have to close as we did bring our kayaks. Well done with this park. While we stayed we hiked Hungarian falls which is about 15 minutes away. Must see!! And drive to copper harbor. The area is beautiful and Red Dog Adventures will be back!!
