Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore campsites provide a picnic table, fire grate, and tent pad. Solar-powered wells provide water. Vault toilets are available.
Camping is on a first-come, first-serve basis (no reservations) with an overnight fee of $14 with lakeside sites at Twelvemile Beach Campground $16/night. Holders of the
America The Beautiful Senior Pass (62 and older) and the
America The Beautiful Access Pass (disabled) receive a 50% discount.
Weather permitting, campgrounds officially open on May 10 and close on October 31.
Because of the popularity of these campgrounds, a mid-morning arrival is suggested. You may also wish to identify an
nearby campground in your plans as the Lakeshore campgrounds are often full, especially on weekends and all of July and August.
Disabled accessible campsites are available at each campground and are reserved for disabled campers until 6 p.m. each evening. If they are not filled by 6 p.m., other campers may occupy the
disabled accessible campsite for that night only.
The lakeshore's campgrounds are rustic and do not have electric, telephone, water, or sewer hookups. Typically there is no cell phone reception.
