Great campsite within about 100 ft of the lake. Id note proximity to the bathroom, as I thought that could be a good thing if needing to get up at night or early, however the wind happened to be blowing from it directly in our direction. Not a great outdoor experience if youve got a tent! In general, the campsites are slightly closer together, which is generally the way things are at sites in the park there (I camped once at Hurricane River also, similar experience). Note that the sites which are directly on the lake have a view, this one does not, but its also sheltered if you happen to have a storm or windy day - and the lake can get pretty windy and turbulent.

Campground is very nice. Very clean. Water and bathrooms also top notch. Would love to stay here again if I ever travel back to Michigan.

Absolutely fantastic campground! We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and played on the beach. It was perfect for my family.

Pristine park with peace and quiet; very clean vault toilets as well.
@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #37
We camped at a site that was downwind of the pit toilets which was unpleasant. Other than that the campground was great. It was windy so we were not able to go into the water but walking along the beach and watching the sunset was glorious.

Super beautiful sites on the lake. Very quiet. The facilities have been updated since we were there several years ago. Nice, clean, restrooms. Highly recommend a visit.
@VikkiBAF4CB45B · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #24
Very remote campsite with no cell service, which is what I was looking for. Beautiful views of Lake Superior. The campsite had ample space between us and both neighbors. Roadways were maintained and the site driveway was nice and wide. If you want firewood, it needs to be purchased offsite, as none is for sale at the campground.
@AprilH3933277 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #12
The campground was well maintained and the view was amazing. The campground host was informative and friendly.
@RosemaryTA2A26 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #8
Amazingly beautiful. Lots of tent campers.
@GeorgeC007DA80 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #12
Very clean campground, right on the shores of Lake Superior. Sandy beaches, steps down to the beach to prevent slides, falls from the steep sandy cliffs made it even nicer. Convenient bathrooms, be aware of no running water or showers. . .

Great camp spot!!

Best camp ground in picture rocks
@AndrewR3887527 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #33
An excellent campground. I was wary of the vault toilets going in but they were kept clean. And being this close to the lake more than made up for any lacking amenities. The sites were large and while I couldn't see the lake from mine, falling asleep to the waves led to some of the best nights of sleep I've ever had.
@RyanA6059288E6 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #30
The sites are beautiful and the facilities include the vault toilets and portable water are well maintained.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds in the U.P.
@MichelleS85055 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #8
Beautiful location! The sunset was phenomenal with perfect weather. We went September 1st for reference. The campsite (#1) was 10 steps away from the view of the beach and there was a staircase to take you down to the beach. Stars were AMAZING at night. Werent able to see the northern lights though. Bathrooms were simple- just a toilet and a water fountain or sink maybe outside the bathroom. Its about 45 minutes to the nearest little town and 45 or an hour to pictures rocks. Overall probably one of my favorite places Ive ever camped!
@CarlyR9953A1F0 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #4
Great sites and beautiful views!
@MeganB7687345 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #9
We enjoyed this campground so much. The beach access and lake views were spectacular. There is drinking water available and the restrooms were the cleanest campground restrooms we've ever seen. The camp host was so friendly and the campground was extremely quiet and peaceful even though almost every site was full. Be prepared for lots of sand in your tent!
@stevenb5011158 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #28
Terrific setting. Vault toilets were immaculate
@AliceaH6429E56 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #26
Beautiful campground with large sites on Lake Superior
@BriannaS443305 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #14
Spacious enough for our tent and car and with a well placed fire pit and picnic table. The access to the beach was honestly perfect. We heard the waves slapping on the shore nearby by there was enough tree coverage that the wind wasnt an issue. You can walk maybe 50 feet and sit on the sandy hillside down to the beach and see all the stars and satellites in the sky. The toilets were close enough to be convenient but far enough away that they werent part of your experience. Theres also a very close water fountain nearby. No tree coverage that theres spots for shade, but enough sunlight gets through that you can charge small mobile solar panels. Loved this site.

Twelve mile is quiet and private. Sites are huge, most are well separated from adjacent sites. Amazing views of the lake from the bluff. The beach is stunning. A very special place.
@tomn1568100 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #14
great place, fantastic beach, very clean, very friendly host, met them and a few of their friends when they invited me over (camping solo) Absolutely great place
@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #Cabin
Incredible spot. Easy hike in. It's on the trail so get ready to answer some questions but most hikers are really cool. Compost toilet is fun but weird. It's truly a magical place! The parking for it could be better; guard ur spot cuz other campers snag it even tho it says "12 mile cabin only." Rent this place; it's just simply the best!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
