Great campsite. Weve picked it twice.

Great campsite! Its at the very end of the road and it takes a moment to get to but it sure was worth it. Its very distant from other sites (except site 79 which was a few hundred feet away on a foot path) which is nice for privacy and just being with nature. It has a nice view of the river but pretty limited access to it. The hill down to it is very steep and easy enough to climb for the sure-footed, but not a viable option for water access if thats what you're looking for. But even so, its definitely worth the price, if I remember correctly it was around $10 per night, which is pretty darn good. Id certainly recommend this site to the next person. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because we found we simply didnt have a whole lot to do, there isnt a whole lot of trail options close by but Oscoda is about 20 minutes away. On top of that theres no service, so Id recommend downloading anything youd like to listen to or watch before you get close to the site. An audiobook would be a good idea if you were interested in that sorta thing.

Great view of the river. Staff at the monument are very friendly.

great location on the ausable river. quiet and spaced far apart campsites made our stay the best that we had all year!

We couldn't find the site because there was no clear indication of where we should go. I was pretty sad because we were looking forward to it. Once we finally got someplace where we had service to look again where we should have went, it was too far away to turn around. Hopefully signs to show where to go could be added so you know where you need to go when u don't have service. 😔
