Heritage Hills

6 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Ishpeming, MI

Heritage Hills isn't called Heritage Hills for nothing! It's situated on 21 acres of what was the original Wawonowin Country Club, a 9-hole golf course that was built in the early 1800s and then closed in the mid 1960s. And now we have a beautiful mix of hardwoods and pines, forests and fields with multiplied non-motorized trails accessible right off the property. The very popular RAMBA bike trails are literally an ‘stones throw’ away! Our biggest site, Fairway Field is big enough for group camping that horse campers love, and one site, the Homestead, with an electric hookup. We don’t have a dump station or trash cans so please pack in and pack out. Phone signal is good throughout the area and we are close to civilization for necessities and only 20 minutes from Marquette. So much stuff to do in this area!

Kiesners getaway

4 sites · RVs, Tents7 acres · Dunbar, WI

I have a place to rest for a couple nights, there is a small non motorized lake across the road. Dunbar is not to far away and there you can find Thermal Chaos, it's a great bbq place, they also have burgers. I am also right on the atv trail. Marinette country has many waterfalls to explore also. Please follow the golden rule of camping and hiking is “leave no trace.” Anything you bring in, must be carried out. Please pack your waste, trash and recyclables, and take it with you when you leave. You may use dead and downed wood as firewood, but do not cut live trees or brush. Keep fires small and make sure your campfire is out before you leave. I hope you have a great time!

Feeling lucky? Hell yeah, you are! Many of the manmade structures used in the park today were built by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and offer a cool glimpse into an earlier time. To supplement the historical angle, you can visit the Iron County Museum in nearby Caspian or an Indian burial ground in Pentoga Park. To supplement the fun, you can hit the beach and playgrounds, or take advantage of the only tennis courts available at any state park in Michigan. Game on!
