Benchmark Campground

Benchmark Campground is a backcountry campsite on a sandy bluff above Lake Superior with six individual sites accessible via hiking from Twelvemile Beach Campground or by kayak.

The open, sandy sites offer Lake Superior access through steep social trails leading down to the water, making it suitable for both hikers and kayakers, though a backcountry permit is required year-round.

The campground features shared fire rings and a pit toilet, with Lake Superior serving as the water source.
