BEST IN THE AREA CAMPGROUND

Wish we had stayed here - beautiful

Twelve Mile : (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 4.8. FABULOUS Price 2023: Usage during visit: Full for Labor Day weekend Site Privacy: Fair to Very good Site Spacing: Good Site surface: Sand. Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Quiet Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: No Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: One faucet near site 12. Another further down. Maybe more. Generators: Allowed, but there is a generator free zone. Bathroom: Very clean pit toilets. Showers: Nope Pull Throughs: I didn’t see any. Cell Service (AT&T): None Setting: Along the lake Weather: Nice first day of September. I am sure this campground can get extremely windy. Solar: Too thick of a forest.
Host: Yes Rig size: Max I saw was about 28’. Sites: there is not a bad site here. Amazing. I like the following sites because they are long the Lakeshore. Some of them aren’t as private as other sites, but looking at the lake from the campsite would be just fabulous: 1, 3 4 5 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 30, 19 .

Beautiful serene part of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Very wonderfully setup campground with a few trails for light hiking right out of the campground. The sites are very big and can fit any size recreational vehicle or groups. The campground was kept in very great condition, with pit toilets and a water fountain. We stayed on site 5 and loved the view down to the lake. The White Birch trail runs off campsite 6 and ends at the beginning of the campground. This area is also used for day use down to the beach and the North Country Trail.

Unbelievably Beautiful

I loved this campground. I wish we were on the lake side for the spectacular views, but it's not a long walk over to watch the sunset or enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

Our site had a pole for a lantern, picnic table, fire ring and tent pad. The water spigot was a few sites over as was the vault toilet. The vault toilet was clean and didn't smell. There were many garbage cans.

Our site was large and private. We had neighbors on either side of us but didn't hear them or see them from our site.

The flies were extremely bad or first day but not our other two days. Bring lots of DEET for you and permethrin or something for your dog just in case!

Overall great experience and can't wait to come back!
