Twelvemile Beach Campground and Cabin

We had the great joy of camping here at the end of October. I had originally booked Site #24, but when I wanted to add another night, it was booked, so then I booked #26. I was nervous about that site because it was only 30 ft long with posts along the pad, so I didn't think we'd be able to park across the driveway to accomodate both our 20-foot travel trailer and our truck. I kept checking, and finally Site #1 opened, so I took that and canceled my old one. Number 1 was incredible. It was separate from all the other campsites, it was huge, and it was right by the stairs going down to the beach. If you are coming with a big rig, don't bother. This campground is meant for pop-ups, tents, and small travel trailers. The larger sites are the ones in the generator loop. All the sites along the water are incredible, but if you can't get one of those, the ones on the other side of the road still have water views with 3 sets of stairs for beach access. We love Pictured Rocks and have camped at Hurricane River twice before and absolutely loved it. This campground is even better! We caught the North Country Trail right out of the campground and did a hike. We also drove to the Beaver Basin Trailhead and hiked along the lakes and then to Spray Falls. Amazing! Overall, it was a magical trip!

Beautiful campground and beach! We weren’t able to leave the shelter of our van much because of the weather but the scenery was great and the fall foliage was spectacular! There was no cell service and the area is pretty remote so be sure to come prepared.

A great central location to explore both ends of the Pictured Rocks area. We have a camper but noted the nice tent pads in each site.

Very peaceful, the drive into the campground in the fall is like no other. Beach a couple feet away doesn’t get much better than that! There’s a trail that goes for a couple miles within the campground along the beach. Closest place for supplies is roughly 30 min away into town.

Perfect stay at Twelvemile campground. Clean campsite with good amount of space between sites. Visited in October, nice quiet relaxing stay.

Beautiful area to camp lots of outdoors things to do and see. But be sure you are prepared for any obstacles that may pop up...weather...trails...shelter. This is VERY serious country don't treat it with respect and caution.

You must have reservations in advance & there is no way to make them while at the park. It is disappointing that there are no sites left for spur of the moment travel.
