The campground at McLain State Park is full, and it will be a similar scene at Fort Wilkins for the holiday weekend. Supervisor Bob Wild says this is always in the running for the busiest time of the year. The fort tries to replicate life as it would have existed at the compound when it was first built.
Fort Wilkins remained active from 1844 through the Civil War, but was closed soon after.
Louise Hunt from McLain expects the beach to be busy with sunshine and hot weather in the forecast. Keweenaw Report followed up with Hunt about her projection that the campground would be sold out all summer, even on weeknights. She said that cancellations are routinely opening up a select number of spots Sunday through Thursday night.
Reservations can only be made online.
