OUR STORY · ESTABLISHED AUGUST 2023
The friends
behind camp.
Four families. Eight owners.
A shared love of Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula.
HOW CAMP TWO HEARTED BEGAN
It started with
rockhounding.
In August 2023, four families established Camp Two Hearted with a shared interest in camping, rockhounding, and exploring Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Eight owners now share in looking after camp and welcoming guests. Trips to the Lake Superior shoreline after dark to look for Yooperlites became one of the group’s favorite ways to spend time at camp.
The property brought those interests together: a grandfathered fishing cabin overlooking the legendary Two Hearted River, ten wooded acres, and Lake Superior nearby. Our chapter as Camp Two Hearted began in 2023; the old fishing cabin is part of the river’s earlier camp tradition. It became a base for fishing, paddling, trail riding, and time outdoors with friends and family.
We chose to open camp to guests so more people could experience this part of Michigan for themselves. The cabins and facilities continue to improve, while camp remains a self-reliant, off-grid stay on the river.
THE OWNERS & HOSTS
A camp we use.
A place we share.
We’re a group of friends who spend time here ourselves. The river, the woods, the shoreline, and the time with our families are the reasons we keep coming back.
We host as a team and share practical knowledge of the property and the area. Before a stay, we’ll help you plan for the seasonal road, off-grid systems, and the kind of trip you have in mind.

WHAT MATTERS TO US
Pure Michigan.
Wild Michigan.
The character of this place comes from the river and the land around it.
The Two Hearted River
Private frontage on the legendary Two Hearted River. Michigan’s only state-designated Wilderness River is the heart of camp, and a place we ask every guest to help care for.
Exploring the shoreline
Agates, Yooperlites, and time on Lake Superior have been part of our story from the beginning.
Room to gather
The main cabin and bunkhouse stay together as one rental, giving each group the whole camp.
A place to look after
We keep food and trash secure, pack out what we bring, and ask each group to leave camp ready for the next.
