Twelvemile Beach Campground and Cabin

OK. Nice hosts. But they were dealing with a loss and withdrawn, perhaps less vigilant. My site, opposite the stretch of the lake side sites, was great. The Lake sites had little privacy between them,. BUT, I was supposed to be in a generator free zone and of course some idiot turned on a generator at 11:30pm for about 20 minutes. Shook me out of sleep. Then there were the two big pickup trucks having a non-stop party, with big dogs, throughout the day and into the night. They were located far from the hosts and no one calmed them down. This is why I come to the UP to get away from LOUD idiots. The stairs down to the beach are wiped out by storms, but if you have mobility, you can zig zag down the steep sand dunes. Coming back up is a challenge. It was a clean campsite overall, just louder than I expected. Beautiful Sunsets. North Country Trail runs right down the middle of the campground and out past Site 30, and again, loud talking backpackers early in the morning woke us up from a deep sleep. Site 15 on the lake is a mess with no discernible driveway or parking as stated in previous reviews. Nice Day hikes though on the NCT out and back in both directions from the campground. Gran Marais is your closest town and little traffic on the roads. They also have a stunning public rocky beach. Nice diner and a few bars. I loved this area of PRNL better than the Munising end-less tourists, even with the loud knuckle-heads at camp.

We love this campground! It's very well maintained, and the proximity to Lake Superior is great.

Beautiful location, right next to the beach. Was able to see sunset and sunrise on the beach and only be a few minutes from my campsite. There's a fair amount of trees/privacy between campsites but the sites are not set very far back from the road so you definitely feel on view as cars and people walk by. Toilets are close and not at all awful. I would love to come back and camp here again!

The campsites are well maintained and the pit toilets were cleaned often. Short walk to the beach and hiking trails were beautiful. Well maintained campground. I will be back.

Now some downsides. No shower tents allowed so when staying an extended time you either shower with a toga out in the open or drive to another facility to pay for a shower. The mosquitos are relentless so bring plenty of spray and a bug net for your head. Portable toilets are not allowed.

Beautiful campground. Quiet neighbors. Lucked out in terms of bugs in mid-June, almost none due to a cold snap. Highly recommend the non-generator loop for quietest experience. Also, check out pics of campsites before reserving because they vary a decent amount in terms of size.

The campground was very clean and beautiful. Everyone we met were very friendly. We would definitely stay again!
