Beautiful location! The sunset was phenomenal with perfect weather. We went September 1st for reference. The campsite (#1) was 10 steps away from the view of the beach and there was a staircase to take you down to the beach. Stars were AMAZING at night. Weren’t able to see the northern lights though. Bathrooms were simple- just a toilet and a water fountain or sink maybe outside the bathroom. It’s about 45 minutes to the nearest little town and 45 or an hour to pictures rocks. Overall probably one of my favorite places I’ve ever camped!

Twelve mile is quiet and private. Sites are huge, most are well separated from adjacent sites. Amazing views of the lake from the bluff. The beach is stunning. A very special place.
