US HWY 41 actually begins at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula (go take a pic at the sign!). Follow US HWY 41 N to the Portage Lift Bridge (huge icon for this area). From there, we are 30 minutes north. Approximately 15 minutes into your drive up, you will reach historic Calumet. It is also the home of a private club in which we are members, the closest large grocery store, and the only place in the Keweenaw that you will find fast food. Pass straight through and in another 10 minutes you will enter Keweenaw County/Allouez Michigan. Once you reach Ahmeek, there will be a sign directing you to turn Left to reach Five Mile Point Road (called Wright Street if using a map). The third street in is called Bollman Street, turn Right here. Bollman turns into Five Mile Point Road. Stay on Five Mile for approximately 10 minutes and you will be at the top of Red Rock Hill (in the daylight you will have a panoramic view of Lake Superior from here). Down the hill and around two corners, the road will straighten (~2 more miles) and Sunset Bay Beach Road (which turns into 7 Mile Point Road) will be on your left. This is a dirt road with mailboxes on the left and signs for a campground in the summer. We are one mile in on the right. We are part of a private rural community (7 Mile Point Community) so signage is minimal.
