Campground

Benchmark Campground is on a sandy bluff above Lake Superior. The six campsites are sandy and open. There are social trails that lead down to Lake Superior, but it is a steep climb back to your campsite. When hiking from the west, walk through Twelvemile Beach Campground to the trailhead and day use area to connect back to the North Country Trail. Two shared fire rings and a pit toilet. Water source is Lake Superior. Lake Superior access for kayakers.
Campground
Overnight camping is permitted only in designated backcountry sites. These sites can only be reached by hiking or paddling (a few sites are accessible by boat). A backcountry camping permit is required for all overnight stays - year round. A permit is valid only for the dates, locations, and party size specified. Permits are not required for day hiking; however, day hikers must observe backcountry regulations.
