About
National Forest
Au Sable National Scenic River The access road is gated to prohibit motorized access. Visitors to this campground are primarily river paddlers. To access the site from the road, visitors will need to walk .25 miles into the large, old-growth eastern white pine to find the campground. Trees offer a screen from the river, but still allow campers views of the river and wildlife. Brochure with map: This brochure is set to print on 11 x 17 paper, landscape (wide) orientation.

Features
ScoutNot for the faint of heart
Its very secluded, a long walk, and dirty, but I love it. I think my young son loves it more. Its first-come so get there early but you can pitch your tent in a number of spots. The wildlife will get curious if you leave something out so hang your garbage-this is bear country. Neighboring campers brought coyotes last year because they didn’t pack up their food. The vault toilet isn’t terrible and the river is shallow by the steps so its great for the kids.
