The Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP) and the Greater Ishpeming–Negaunee Chamber of Commerce (GINCC) held a ribbon cutting for the City of Ishpeming to announce its grand opening of Brasswire Campground on Thursday.
Funded in part through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) Grant, Brasswire Campground spans approximately 16 acres. The campground integrates with the environment, with about 12 acres clear-cut as a forestry remedy for the dying jack pine stands. This strategic clear-cutting transformed the area into a space best suited for campground development, embracing nature and recreation. With a total of 50 campsites, Brasswire Campground is a testament to responsible land usage and community collaboration.
Offering a rustic camping experience without hook-ups, Brasswire focuses on a more natural setting. Additionally, two water wells have been thoughtfully installed for the convenience of registered campers.
Reservations are open and campers can make immediate bookings for this camping season exclusively through the campground’s official website, brasswire.org.
This user-friendly platform has hassle-free bookings for campers eager to explore the area’s natural beauty. The reservation cost is set at an affordable $25 per night, encouraging families and individuals to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the campground. For those planning ahead, reservations for the next camping season can be secured starting each year on October 1.
Campers under the age of 21 must be accompanied by and under the immediate supervision of a parent or legal guardian to be registered for a camping permit. Check-in hours, between 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., offer flexibility for travelers arriving at different times. Check-out is required by 1:00 p.m. to ensure the efficient preparation of campsites for incoming visitors.
Brasswire Campground is located at 234 Malton Road, Ishpeming, MI 49849. For a complete list of camping policies or to make a reservation, visit brasswire.org.
