Beautiful setting and great campsites. We were worried because along the way every dispersed site seemed to be taken by multiple RV groups. We arrived with no reservations on a Friday but still found a fantastic site in #4. All tent spots (there were at least 3 of them) were nicely cleared and flat. Plenty of nearby firewood. Pit toilets were clean. Only drawback is not having easy access to water. Already planned a return trip.

The picture shows a nice flat space, it is not. The only flat spot on this space is where the table is or where you park your car. There is a 45degree slope from the table area into the lower area. Great if you have a 2 man tent but nothing bigger.

We have been coming to this spot for years. For the most part, a good time is had by all. The campground could use some updating and maintenance.

We have a great time at Twelve Mile Flat Campground. The group site does accommodate our large group. It would be nice to have water available at the campground. Overall, we have a great time there.

I think it's way expensive to charge someone $58 for a reservation when I can pay $20 when I get to the site . Thats almost double . Not again .

When staying at Twelve Mile Flatt campground I had to constantly keep the cows out of my campground. This area is open range for cows and can cause problems. Also, the water had been turned off and this was still in the summer months. If camping here keep in mind that this area can be messy, especially if you have a dog.
