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).

Right on Lake Superior. Steps to the beach. Fresh water available. Pit toilet but clean as can be. Accommodating camp host. And, literally on the North Country trail. Terrific.
