About Twelvemile Beach Campground and Cabin

Twelvemile Beach Campground is a beautiful campground along Lake Superior located within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, just 15 mi (14.9 mi) west of Grand Marais. There are 36 sites total, including 2 universally accessible sites. Twelvemile Beach has water, pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and an interpretive amphitheater. The campground has access to the North Country Trail and the two mile (2 mi) long self-guided White Birch Interpretive Trail. The turning radius and some of the parking at sites are limited, so the Park recommends that camper, or vehicle/trailer length should NOT exceed 42 ft (13 m).

Being so close to the water was amazing , being able to hang a hammock on the trees to watch the water was a bonus on the campsite . I will always recommend this campground to others . It gets windy so tarps help to block the wind.

Beautiful campground, so quiet and well maintained. It is miles from everything and no cell service so make sure you are prepared with firewood, etc. a perfect way to unplug.

Love this campground just wish site 15 would get a little work on it. It’s very sandy and couldn’t pull all the way in because we were getting stuck.

Never arrived due to mechanical breakdown. Was charged full rate despite having a valid lifetime senior pass. My requested refund was denied with no explanation. I was a happy camper until this experience. Customer service person was dismissive after a 45 minute wait. Very disappointed with Recreation.Gov

Outhouses were the cleanest I have seen at any campground, ever. Camp host very friendly and helpful, and the NPS staff likewise. The Beach was amazingly beautiful.

Absolutely loved Twelvemile Beach Campground. We were in site 37, on the back loop. We'd have preferred being in the front loop, but it was all reserved (although a few campers never showed up, always frustrating.) We loved the view, the quiet, the peace, the nature trail - everything except the odor that wafted from the pit toilets across from our site. Still, I loved the campground and will recommend it to friends. Also, the campground host was very friendly and the folks in the office were very helpful - they let us switch from the less peaceful upper modern campground down to the rustic site. Thank you for the work you do!
