Rollways Campground

Nice little campground in the forest. Only a couple other campers so it was really quiet. Short drive to the scenic byway with beautiful views. Outhouses were maybe the cleanest I’ve ever seen. There was a camp host but we didn’t get a chance to meet her. Only draw back having an RV is there is no dump/fill station so keep that in mind before you arrive, but it is a state forest campground.

We tented this past weekend at Rollways and it was great! The sites were big. We brought our own kayaks and spent the day at on loud lake which was about a 15 min drive away. There were plenty of vault toilets which were very clean and water stations. Some sites were reservable and some were first come first serve. There were two or three sites that’s were close to the water which looked most preferable.

We come here every summer for our annual Au Sable kayak trip! The campground is nice and clean with a good amount of space between sites. What’s really awesome about this place is if you pay a little extra, they will provide dropoff and pickup of both your party and all your kayaks to the appropriate points so you don’t have to deal with transporting everything yourself. This comes in handy especially at the end of the kayak trip when you have to walk up a HUGE staircase, which is absolute hell with a kayak! They will drag your kayaks back with a boat and even drop them off at your campsites that night or the next morning and it is definitely worth every penny!

This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Michigan. The sites are big, most are well shaded. There is a steep but walkable trail down to the ausable river, there is also some nice walking trails to various view points. Vault toilets are usually clean. There is usually a camp host. Right across the street from Rollaways Canoe Rental, so you can walk back to your site after a day on the river.
