Porcupine Mountains-White Pine Rustic Outpost Camp

Named after the nearby historic copper mine site, White Pine Extension Outpost is a small, eight-site rustic campground located a couple of miles from Summit Peak Scenic Area. It offers solitude and a camping experience unlike a typical state park modern campground. The sites are ideal for tent, van or compact campers. There is a vault toilet, but no running water is available at any of the outpost campgrounds. You can access water at the park headquarters or visitor center. Park roads close Dec. 1 through late spring. Specifically, County Road M-107 closes at the Whitetail parking area and South Boundary Road closes at Headquarters Road south to the Pinkerton Trailhead. You can still access Presque Isle scenic area by traveling north on County Road 519 just east of Wakefield. Both roads transition to designated snowmobile trails during the snowmobile season and remain closed until deemed safe to travel by the Ontonagon County Road Commission.
