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).

Very remote campsite with no cell service, which is what I was looking for. Beautiful views of Lake Superior. The campsite had ample space between us and both neighbors. Roadways were maintained and the site driveway was nice and wide. If you want firewood, it needs to be purchased offsite, as none is for sale at the campground.

Very clean campground, right on the shores of Lake Superior. Sandy beaches, steps down to the beach to prevent slides, falls from the steep sandy cliffs made it even nicer.
Convenient bathrooms, be aware of no running water or showers. . .
