McLain State Park Campground

About

McLain State Park Campground occupies a prime location on Lake Superior's shore in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula, positioned between Calumet and Hancock. The park is renowned for its 2 miles of sandy beach and spectacular sunsets over Lake Superior. The campground operates year-round, making it accessible for both summer beach camping and winter activities. The modern campground is divided into two distinct sections. Sites 1-91 are smaller and set directly along the Lake Superior shoreline, offering prime waterfront access. Sites 100-135 are larger and better accommodate bigger RVs and trailers. Every site has 30- or 50-amp electrical hookups. Facilities include modern restrooms with flush toilets and showers, potable water spigots throughout, and a sanitation dump station. Beyond camping, the park features hiking trails through the surrounding forest and shoreline, excellent swimming in the clear waters of Lake Superior, and opportunities for fishing. The park's location on the Keweenaw Peninsula provides access to historic mining towns, waterfalls, and the region's natural beauty.
