First trip on the Au Sable River - Fantastic!. 10 of 10. Canoe trip with two people from Mio, MI to Loud Pond Dam - 3 primitive nights. Excellent Campsites. They were in great condition. Well spaced out along the river. One small issue is that while the campsite #s are well posted and visible, they are not listed exactly as they are on the website; ie 022C is posted as just 22. Because I thought there may be multiple systems. We missed our first site, but quickly realized we made it more difficult than it needed to be. Again, it was a terrific trip and we've already returned to Loud Pond Dam for another 3-night stay. Highly recommend. We will be exploring more of the Au Sable!

Amazing site right on the water. Saw a family of deer playing in the river.

Beautiful secluded site with great view and access to the river. Wake up every morning with only the sound of the river flowing by. We'll be back!

I hesitate to rave because it will become popular! We loved our time on the AuSable River! Wake up every day to the sound of water rushing by and lots of wildlife to view. What's not to like. Hard to adjust to no cell service, but we survived!

Well I love that this is not circle camping, and can be reserved, state and federal backpacking are not good for me as they are first come first serve. This site is nice full sun, ease of access to the lake, and further from the airport main city and light sources, good spots for tent, nice view, have been here a couple of times. 2 notes one rocks contain water do not put near fire, that is why you often see broken, or fragmented rocks by fires, and help the trees do not transport fire wood. I would like to see some tree replants, with more resilient native species, at this site.

I love this camp site. I have come here in the winter as well as summer and it is always peaceful. I do have to say tho that I'm really disappointed with other visitors to this site leaving their toilet paper and trash behind. CLEAN UP YOUR TRASH PEOPLE!

Really enjoy the secluded spot next to the river. Very peaceful and easy to access. Stayed close to alcona pond for three nights and on the fourth stay at alcona pond campground and it was beautiful and quiet. Also great views of the water with easy access.

It’s a beautiful site. Unfortunately, the poison ivy has taken over most of the surrounding area. If not reduced, it risks making the site unusable. We enjoyed the sights & river access but still took home some poison ivy spots.

Our huge campsite, 002D, had one of the most beautiful views of any campsite where we've ever stayed. We sat by the river watching the wildlife (including deer, a bald eagle, several types of ducks and geese, swans, and woodpeckers, among others) and enjoying the gorgeous fall scenery. The site was very quiet during the day. At night we heard coyotes and owls. I'd easily rate the view as 5-star. Unfortunately, previous occupants had left quite a bit of trash on the campsite and covered the nearby underbrush with toilet tissue and lots of evidence of human waste, including a waste bucket! Be aware that there is some poison ivy on the periphery of the site, but at this time of the year it's colorful and easy to spot. The road to our campsite was a bit dicey for our Prius; even though we drove very slowly and carefully, we scraped the bottom of our heavily loaded car on a rock when we arrived at the site but were able to negotiate the ruts and rocks after that.
