Twelvemile Beach Campground offers stunning views of Lake Superior and spacious, well-maintained campsites, providing a peaceful atmosphere for visitors. Campground hosts are friendly and helpful, contributing to a clean and welcoming environment. However, challenges with the reservation system and occasional mosquito swarms have been noted by guests, highlighting the need for preparation regarding bug protection and awareness of site availability.

The biting flies were so overbearing I could barely spend any time outside. Do not bring anything colorful as that seemed to attract them most. The cabin did have fly paper up so they tried.

I love cabins! This one is very basic and we definitely had issues with flies and mosquitoes getting inside, but that's late June for you.
The location is absolutely amazing. You're set apart from the main campground and steps away from Lake Superior. There's a landing at the top of the stairs where you can sit and take in the view.
The hike is 0.5 mi from the parking spot and about 0.3 mi from the edge of the campground. You can temporarily park at the trail entrance to drop off gear, which cuts your walk in half.

Beautiful, peaceful, and secluded campground!
Bring bug spray and download offline Google maps before you go!. There is no cell reception at the campground and it is patchy in the Upper Penninsula in general. Beware of the black flies, which were unbearable for one day only during our trip during the 4th of July weekend. We have camped at many lakeside campgrounds in the Lower Penninsula many times over the years and have had some experiences with black flies, but this was on another level! Mosquitos were also bad, but at least they responded to bug spray (the flies did not!).
Site 15's driveway is very sandy, but we were able to back our front wheel drive car in just enough to not be handing in the campground's road.
Site 15 is also right across the road from the bathroom. We booked this site last minute and I'm not sure I would stay in it again since the door slamming noise any time someone went in or out and periodic smell was not pleasant.
Lastly, site 15's highlight is definitely its beach access! There is a steep but short sand climb right to the beach, and the water is visible from the campsite.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Twelvemile Beach campground and I'm sure we will be back some day!

We were on site 7. It was very large site direct view on the beach and access very close. The only downside was the bugs. A lot of flies.
