Hey, I've been there!

If you're up in the Keweenaw anyway, it's worth the side-trip to visit the rocket range. You'll spend a few miles past the end of the paved road, and there's a small stream to ford, so take a vehicle with good ground clearance, and self-recovery gear in case you find more mud than you bargained for.

And some industrial-strength mosquito repellent.

Once you're there, it's a quiet little site, and the rocket pad makes a perfect place to set a campfire without having to clear a bunch of brush first. The water is just a few feet away, and there's lots of cool geology within a short walk along the shore.
