    Against advice from other websites, my wife and I came here on an early-August morning in hopes of camping one night at Pictured Rocks at Twelvemile Beach. Despite its remoteness, the place was full. We circled around the small campground several times before a nice old couple flagged us down and said we could have their campsite since they moved to another site. They had a camper, and the site they gave me was for tents only, which was perfect for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten a site and been forced to leave. Our one night cost $14. The campground is probably 30 miles from the nearest market, and you will get absolutely no cell phone service, no electricity, no GPS signal, and no ability to be annoyed by Pokémon Go! It was great, because it provides an amazing experience. There is running water in the form of faucets near some of the vault toilets. The campsites are spaced apart well, and it is very peaceful and quiet in the evening. You could be naked all you want! Of course, that will lure in the hordes of black flies that seemed immune to simple bug spray. The beach and the water was amazing, and it was warm enough to swim. We did see a park ranger twice. In the morning, the annoyances began. I woke up at 6:30am and was immediately accosted by an old woman wanting my campsite. She was nice, and I told her to tag my campsite, and her family could have it when I left by noon. Within the next couple of hours, I had literally dozens of cars stopping, peering into, and even entering my campsite to see if I was leaving. There was no privacy in the morning, and it was very annoying. It made me appreciate more the fact that we even got a campsite in the first place.

    The campground was extremely well maintained. The twelve mile trail went through the campground. The trail was well maintained. We had a cool breeze of the lake in late August with no bugs unless you hiked inland. Highly recommend. Not much elevation.

    This place is a garbage dump. I highly recommend finding another campground to camp in the UP, out…read moreof all the places I went camping in the UP. This place is the worst. So where do I begin, first off Its overcrowded, I mean, the campground owners must be desperate for money because they have this place packed, you can pretty much smell your neighbors farts your so close to the next camper, They pack them in here like sardines thats for sure. And garbage all over the place, the beaches I am sure at one time were pristine, but this place contributes to the trash on the beach and blowing all over the place, most the trash cans were full and the facilities are disgusting. Flies all over, worst I have seen then anywhere else in the UP. I went to go use the showers and they both sucked, the small one, was filthy, I don't think they clean them on the weekends, and the showers don't have any curtains, in any of them, so going to shower with grand kids is difficult at best, and the roof of the inside of the building is covered with dead flies and moths and spiders crawling all over the place, and it looks like they painted over them in an attempt to make it look nice. Made me want to vomit. My grand kids could not be convinced to use this one more then once and I will never come back to this campground again with them, and on that note the other shower building looks nice, but its a joke, whoever spent the money to build this thing got took, when you walk up at night the lights are literally shorting out making a buzz noise like the whole building might catch on fire, then when you go inside it looks really nice and new, but that is deceiving! The shower is ridiculous, its big enough to wash an elephant, and the water pressure is a joke, you got room in the shower to have a party with a full on DJ but there is no water pressure, I feel like this may be a gay bath house of some sort, based on some of the drunken riff raff we saw in this place. Why so much room for activities??? Worst part the drain was plugged or slow and the water pooled in half of them, so you literally standing in some one else waste water while it feels like you're getting pissed on and again did I mention that there is no water pressure. The only plus side of this whole place was the view, it's pretty nice when you dont have a million people right in front of you. So much traffic, I thought I saw a sign that said no ORV's but thats all I saw was people with loud smelly exhausts on off road vehicles cruising thru at all hours of the night and day. Terrible. Do not recommend.

    Terrible campground. Rude Camp-host. Sites are way to close together. Showers broken. Find a better…read moreone if your going to travel the distance!

There is also pretty limited cell phone service, from Verizon anyway, on the way out here so make sure you've got your maps downloaded. Clean restrooms are at the entrance to the trail as well

There are no trees around the trailer spots, but the surrounding area is beautiful forest. There are fire pits and picnic tables. We needed a part and had Amazon ship it to the office, and we were able to pick it up at 9 PM. There are 4 clean showers and a nice bathroom. The only recommendation I would give is to add a chair or seat in each shower. The entire campground is very well maintained.

    This is a really high rating but the park was perfect for us…read more It's new and has gravel roads, no trees, but electric and water and sewer campsites. It's spacious and most sites are pull through. There are some tent sites back in the woods and along the river, very rural and pretty out there. There is no pool, playground or fenced in pet walk. What I really liked the most was the proximity to local bicycle trails located just off the park, making it easy to ride to Marquette and even Presque island. The Northern Michigan University public golf club is just outside the park. If conditions are right you have an unobstructed view of the Aurora borealis. I've seen many prettier parks but this was just right for our needs. Even though we had some rain the gravel sites didn't get muddy, big plus when traveling with dogs. Enjoy the amazing area, hike, bike, eat and enjoy nature... this park is a great place to set up and then go do the stuff you came here to do.

This campground looks unassuming at first glance, but it really has everything you need. Our site was equipped with outlets and water hookups, a picnic table, and a fire pit. Firewood is available for purchase at the little camp store. The whole campground sits on the edge of the lake which provides great sunsets. It was oddly quiet in the morning (minus a rude couple using drills to tear down their setup at 6AM, but that was not the campground's fault as they do have quiet hours)-- which is unusual for a family campground. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

The person working laughed at me and essentially told me 'f-you, we don't care about your experience, we aren't going to do anything about it'. Each subsequent night, fires were left burning and unattended while the site occupants slept. On top of the reprehensible customer service and fire safety, the sites are crammed on top of one another with no trees and zero privacy. Also, the water and electric pedestals are shared between 2-4 sites each. On the plus side, it is right on the beach (assuming you can stand being around all the smoke long enough to enjoy it) and close to town. So much for spending time outdoors to enjoy the fresh air.
