Twelvemile Beach Campground and Cabin

Twelvemile Beach Campground is a beautiful campground along Lake Superior located within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, just 15 miles west of Grand Marais. There are 36 sites total, including two universally accessible sites. 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 feet. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore drive-in campsites are rustic and do not have electric, water or sewer hookups. Campsites provide a picnic table, fire ring with grill grate and tent pad. Twelvemile Beach has well water, pit toilets and an interpretive amphitheater. Typically there is no cell phone reception. There are three sets of stairs to the beach as well as a day-use picnic area and parking. The two mile long self-guided White Birch Interpretive Trail begins and ends at the campground, and the North Country Trail treks through it. The entrance road winds through a picturesque stand of white birch. Sandstone cliffs, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls, inland lakes, deep forest and wild shoreline beckon you to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The power of Lake Superior shapes the park's coastal features and affects every ecosystem, creating a unique landscape to explore. Kayak and other guided tours and Pictured Rocks boat cruises within the national lakeshore are offered by authorized private companies, and pontoon boat and other rentals for use on Lake Superior are available in nearby communities.
