The site is nice, thats undeniable. A few steep trails lead down to the water, but some gorgeous views especially during sunset and a great view straight up from around the fire if you are looking to stargaze. The unfortunate portion of this site is that there is a small cove just down one of the trails, and two of our three days we had unwelcome groups tromp through (or park their ATVs 10 feet from) the campsite site to head down (and back!) with coolers in hand blasting from Bluetooth speakers. This site used to be incredibly private, which is exactly why I pay to reserve it and it really sucked to have our vacation disturbed multiple times over. If youre looking for rustic camping with a side of visitors, this might be for you. But we wont be booking this area again.

Our family stayed at this site for two weeks. The site is nice, big and secluded with a wonderful view of the river on all three sides. This campsite has a path down to a small sandy spot on the river where the kids can swim but its a long steep trail back up. During our trip the neighbors from the cabins a crossed the road decided to dock their boat off our campsite and cut through our campsite at 11:30pm. It scared the heck out of my wife because we were laying down to sleep then flashlights started cutting through the campsite and their dog sat barking at our camper until they were gone. This happened again a few days later during the day, so I ended up calling the rangers. Even after having the rangers out, the people stopped by drunk a couple more times during our stay. We have stayed at a few different sites on the AuSable River, and this was the first time we have ever had to deal with anything remotely close to this.

Site 072D - Huge site - Absolute privacy - we had Verizon Wireless phone service when needed on the site. There are a couple trails down to the river but VERY steep, we didn't venture down with the kids (4 & 6).
