40 acres well off the beaten path. Approximately 6 miles off of State Hwy M-94. A two track will lead you back to 40 acres of undeveloped land containing a variety of pine and poplar. Our private property borders State and Federal Forest land that contains an overwhelming amount of two track roads to explore Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The sky is unobstructed from trees leaving the stars to be enjoyed all night long. A section of the Stutts Creek flows through the property where you can enjoy a quiet morning listening to the water flow and the occasional rise of a brook trout feeding. Deer, Turkey, Grouse, Bears and Wolves are all found in our area and are often photographed by visitors. Please practice safe food storage due to a healthy bear population in the area. You're welcome to set up a campfire wherever you camp, please practice fire safety and adhere to state and county burn bans that may be in effect. Once you arrive you are free to set up camp wherever you want. This is primitive camping so come prepared to enjoy nature at its finest. There is no bathroom so plan accordingly. The property is less then an hour from Lake Superior and the heart of downtown Munising and about 30 minutes North of downtown Manistique. A GPS app such as OnX will help you navigate property lines and show you all the water bodies in the area you can enjoy. The road is generally fine for 2wd but 4 wheel drive is recommended when there is rain or snow in the forecast. Our property is fairly remote which will give you a unique experience. We hope to have you.

Camp #14 at Twelvemile. I made this solo trip to Pictured Rocks in early July of 2015. Upon arrival, biting flies attacked and I was greeted with a downpour. It's easy to see these things as just part of the adventure when your surroundings are this beautiful!

Pauline's site was beautiful and very peaceful. Pauline contacted me ahead of my stay and informed that she intended to move us to a more secluded site given that she was hosting other campers and that we had dogs. She accommodated for all her campers to ensure everyone had a peaceful and enjoyable experience on her property. Pauline gave numerous recommendations of tings to do while in the area which was super helpful. The river, prairie, fruit trees/bushes, and birds that surrounded us made for a super peaceful and enjoyable stay!

This campground is a hidden gem tucked deep in the woods. The sites branch off a long grassy lane, each one big, level, and well-spaced so you don’t feel crowded. Sites 3 and 4 are especially private if you’re looking for extra seclusion. You can hear a little road noise from the nearby road, but there’s no light pollution, so the nights are brilliantly starry. It’s a rustic campsite with everything you need—firepits with wood provided and outhouses available. Easy to find, well cared for, and the perfect base for exploring Newberry, Seney, and Grand Marais. I’d definitely stay here again.

Site 4 is a great little private site. No hassle getting in and out. Ordered wood to be there when we arrived, and it was! Perfect area to trout fish, head up to Grand Marais, or over to Pictured Rocks. Will come back.

This was a very nice semi-secluded camp! The first two sites are close to each other, but spaced enough for privacy. Sites 3 & 4 have a lot more privacy. Andy was great to talk to and very nice. I would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you for providing us with a great camping experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at Site #1! Cindy & Andy were great at responses and checking in on us. It was a nice spot with neighboring spots nearby. Porta potty was clean & fresh drinking water directly on Site #1 was extremely helpful. We also rented the generator for our air mattress which helped a lot.
