Site #7 had gorgeous views of Lake Superior! Very large, wide lots but less privacy, but who cares with the stunning views! Access to the beach is next to Site #3 and at the day use picnic area. Cell service is almost non-existent, but better service is available 1.8 mi away at the Lake Superior Overlook site. I really wish the NPS campgrounds had a reservation kiosk onsite so you could access the reservation system to check for openings or changes to your reservation. So many sites were left empty/abandoned. Wish it were easier to cancel remaining days and/or make them open to others. What a waste of gorgeous lake bluff sites!

I love this campground, but this site wasn't great. We couldn't pull in because of sand. It was across from the bathroom, and the smell was so bad, we couldn't stay there and had to pay for a new site.
@TrevorGF1AE0F7 · Camped on Sep 2, 2025 at Campsite #7
Amazing campground and site!! We absolutely loved the easy access to the beach and it was beautiful. The wind was a bit heavy our last day.

Beautiful campsite in the dunes with awesome views from the dunes on Lake Superior. Turkeys came through in the morning. The car pad is sandy, but it was easy to stake a tent on the pad. The way to the outhouse is short and it was clean.

Site #30, large sized wooded lot with short trail back to the bluff and views of the lake. Stunning views of Lake Superior! Decent privacy from neighboring lots. Turkeys wandered through the campground. Gorgeous woods & North Country Trail runs east/west/through the campground too. Stairs to the beach only available near Site #3 and at day use picnic area. Sure wish they would fix the stairs at Site #25! And I really wish the NPS campgrounds had a reservation kiosk onsite so you can access the reservation system to check for openings or changes to your reservation. So many sites were left empty with no easy way to cancel remaining days and/or make them open to others. What a waste of beautiful campsites on the lake!

Bare bone but pretty close to idyllic.
@MartinC35A91CC · Camped on Aug 25, 2025 at Campsite #4
Beautiful views! Great location! Private but not isolated! Easy walk to the beach. Late August weather and wind off the lake kept things bug free but a bit chilly.
@ArthurP5590055 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #19
This campground is beautiful. Lake Superior is ever changing and i never tire of watching and hearing it . Great place .
@DebR0731E6C39B · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #9
The campground is lovely. The sites are very large and clean. The restrooms and water stations were all working and well maintained. The only downside was the weather! A day of drizzle after a day of rain brought out the mosquitoes.
@CarlieL33C5525 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #5
Absolutely beautiful! Sites were great, everything (bathrooms, etc) was cleaned and maintained every day, access directly to the beach
@StevenR7674985 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #4
Beautiful beach, quiet campground.
@RyanL5089068 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025
PSA - please do not book if you do not intend to actually use the resource. Also, please cancel if you plan to no-show so the camp sites can return to the system for others to use.
@JenniferDEB02C · Camped on Aug 15, 2025
The cabin was very roomy and comfortable. You have to walk a bit of the trail to get to it, so having a wagon is helpful. Walking out of the cabin and seeing the lake is so beautiful especially at sunset! There is a compost toilet, be sure to bring toilet paper. Overall we loved the cabin and plan to stay there again!
@ClayHDFE0F18DD · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #34
Nice campground. Very disappointing that the closest stairs to the beach have been broken for 3 years. That staircase should be repaired.
@ErinS5754026 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #35
The camp ground was truly magical. From the moment we rolled in it felt like a dream. Being able to walk to the beach with the most magical sunrise and sunsets, the most beautiful rocks with the perfect beach entry was nothing short of a dream. The camp ground itself didn't have a bad spot. We were lucky enough to get one of the two week out released locations and it was perfect. Of course the ones closest to the water are the jackpot, but again, anywhere you are its great. Bathrooms were extremely well kept and were cleaned out everyday we were there. 5 star camping experience for sure!

I have camped for many years at Twelvemile Beach. It is a nice quiet campground. Although rustic, it is a very nice place to camp. My only complaint would be to provide easier access to the beach from the campground. There there are two stairways to the beach and one has been washed out for the past two summers. Repairing the one that is out of action and adding another one or two would be a big help, and help preserve the sandy bluff and avoid further erosion.
@RonL4335082 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #36
Great location. Bathrooms arent a long walk. Great getaway.
@ColleenD628941 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #15
My site #15 had very deep sand and was hard to get up the hill to park. It was beautiful once we got set up. Right on the lake with sunsets that cannot be beat. The flies however ruined our whole trip. We used deep woods off and it didn't even phase the stable flies. The vault toilets were clean, the camp host were amazing. Do not leave you awning out of you aren't around. There are flash storms and I saw a couple awnings get ripped right off.
@JoelH3449452 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #21
Great campground, great location. Heavy woods and by the lakeshore so bugs can be a factor.
@KristenB526611 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #21
Absolutely beautiful, private beach with amazing sunsets!
@BelindaM467883 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #5
The campground at Twelvemile beach is beautiful.
@RyanS4713424 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #29
Well maintained.
@EmilyT1326398 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #29
What we could see of the campground was gorgeous - unfortunately, the black flies were so bad that we had to leave immediately and find somewhere else to stay.
@KyleC4155064 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #14
Great location and experience in park. Site was wonderful with easy access to Lake Superior. Pit toilets were definitely the best we have ever experienced as many have said in their reviews. Did not hear any one with a generator even though they were permitted during certain hours. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again.
@BrookeW79275AE · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #27
Great campsite, we stayed at site 27. Would stay here again. It was very private with easy access to the beach!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
