Cold weather is just around the corner! ❄️

As our season winds down, you may find fewer bookings available due to frigid temperatures. That being said, we still encourage you to plan ahead for 2024 bookings.

To everyone who joined us this season, thank you! As a relatively new campground, we truly appreciate your feedback, kind conversations and mutual appreciation for our historic coppermine. We have BIG plans for the 2024 season and can’t wait to see you again soon! 🏕️

Halloween is just around the corner! 👻

If you love history and adventure, then consider exploring one of 18 ghost towns in Keweenaw. These towns tell the story of America’s first mining boom in the mid-1800s to early 1900s.

Autumn is in the air! 🍁

The brisk fall air also means that the Calumet Cool Season Market is back. Every Saturday from now through Nov. 18, enjoy this one-of-a-kind From the Ground Farmers Market Collective market located inside a historic drill shop. Best of all, it’s just 5 minutes away from Ahmeek Coppermine Camp.

Did you know that the Keweenaw Peninsula has a Dark Sky Park? ✨

This is one of the best places in the world to stargaze. On some nights, you can even spot the aurora borealis dancing over our historic coppermine. Experience the northern lights and so much more when you book a site at Ahmeek Coppermine Camp. https://www.ahmeekcopperminecamp.com/book-now

The Ahmeek Coppermine Camp has a fascinating history dating back to the early 1900s. In this image from 1903, we see a mine shaft entrance. Many of the old Ahmeek Coppermine shafts were as deep as 10,000 feet!

Many of the ruins of these mines still exist today, making Ahmeek Coppermine Camp a treasure trove for mineral collectors. Learn more and book a time to experience it for yourself at: https://www.ahmeekcopperminecamp.com/about
