Three Mile Campground

Three Mile Campground is a waterfront campground in Keweenaw County featuring tent sites and shelters positioned along Rock Harbor with direct Lake Superior access via a private dock. The property sits at the end of a scenic inlet, offering views across the water and easy entry points for boats and swimmers.

The site developed following 19th-century copper mining activity that brought initial settlement to the Keweenaw Peninsula. It later became an access point for people exploring the remote natural landscape of the region.

The campground serves as a meeting point for nature enthusiasts who gather to observe local wildlife, including moose and foxes in their natural habitat.

The campground offers basic facilities including pit toilets and drinking water, with seasonal access from late spring through early fall. Visitors should prepare for remote conditions and limited services typical of backcountry camping.

The location offers exceptional stargazing conditions due to minimal light pollution in the surrounding area. These dark skies make observing constellations and celestial events a memorable part of the camping experience.
