Russell Canoe Livery & Campground sits along the Au Sable River in Omer, Michigan, combining overnight camping with direct water access for paddlers. The facility operates as both a campground and canoe rental business, allowing guests to launch their own watercraft or rent equipment on-site.
Sites include electric hookups for RVs, plus standard amenities like restrooms, showers, and picnic tables. A camp store handles basic supplies and trash service keeps sites maintained. The campground welcomes pets and allows campfires. One returning camper notes the setup provides everything needed for river adventures and recommends visiting later in the season. Riverbend Campground & Canoe Rental offers similar river access just over half a mile north.
