About
Twelvemile Beach Campground occupies a scenic sandy plateau above Lake Superior within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, offering campers direct access to one of the park's most pristine 12-mile stretches of sand beach. Located 15 miles west of Grand Marais off Alger County Road H-58, the campground features 36 sites including a rental cabin, with each site equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with grill grate, and tent pad. The campground provides vault toilets and seasonal well water but has no hookups, showers, or dump station. Cell phone reception is typically unavailable. The entrance road winds through a picturesque stand of white birch, and the two-mile self-guided White Birch Nature Trail begins and ends at the campground. The North Country National Scenic Trail also passes through. Due to limited turning radius and parking lengths, single vehicles should not exceed 36 feet and vehicle/trailer combinations should stay under 42 feet. Generator use is prohibited in the west loop (sites 17-37). Two wheelchair-accessible sites feature packed gravel or wooden boardwalks, accessible picnic tables, and raised fire rings. Quiet hours are 8 PM to 8 AM.
Directions
Located 15 miles west of Grand Marais off Alger County Road H-58 (34 miles east of Munising). The entrance road winds through a stand of white birch.
