Ahmeek Coppermine Camp

Very unique container camping. Comfortable sleeping with plenty room to cook on my propane stove & buddy heater. Spacious sites, fire pit & picnic table. Owner/camp host's are a very friendly, fun couple. Very accommodating. Yooper lite rock hunting on Lake Superior. This is my second time staying there.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Was a great experience. The owners and staff are super helpful and friendly. It is rough camping, but there are vault toilets and there is spigot centrally located to get clean drinking water. The campsite was super clean. Such a cool place to be able to camp at a real copper mine. Such a great feel to the place. Great location, close to all sorts of different activities. Looking forward to camping here again very soon.

My review is similar to others - it is very rustic and when you first drive in it is very sketchy. The front end of the campground is not the best but I would highly recommend staying in the back camp sites C14 to P25. It is beautiful back there and well kept. You get a fire pit and a picnic table. We were the only people that stayed on the grounds for the evening so at first we were a little nervous but it really turned out to be a lot of fun. We had a sprinter van so for us it worked out perfect. I would recommend this place during the fall season to stay for a night or two.

Do not go here! This place is not as advertised and we had a terrible experience. The website is misleading. Seems like a nice couple refurbishing a historical site into a rustic place to stay…maybe that was their intention that they have since abandoned. Literally, abandoned. This “campground” is NOT maintained. There is junk everywhere. Litter, oil drums, broken down cars, a ditch full of trash. The cabins are shipping containers, which I was aware of. They are in various states of disrepair. Broken furniture, missing mattresses, full of dirt. For what they are charging ($70/night) I would expect a light cleaning. Nope. According to the map, there should have been bathrooms across from our site. It was an empty concrete pad. I went to talk to them at the office/camp store, only to find

We had a great weekend camping here. I’ll start by saying that you can’t expect a resort for a rustic campground. This is an old mining site and is rough and rustic, but it is very clearly advertised that way on the website before you book. This campground has a lot of potential and they’re clearly working to get it off the ground. We had plenty of space because it wasn’t too busy, but if it were a busy weekend, it would have been less enjoyable. We arrived after dark for a tent site, but a lot of the tent sites are small, some are unlevel and we couldn’t fit on a site. However, we have a rooftop tent on a full-size truck and probably should have booked an RV site anyway. We drove around and picked an empty site that would work for us and the office staff had no issue with us moving site
