We stayed at the Lower Hurricane River Campground for a week in mid-August. Beautiful campsites provide privacy from neighboring sites. The parking for the AuSable Lighthouse trail (part of the North Country Trail) just before the entrance to the campground is typically filled for most of the day. The trail goes through the campground. The campground's water station is shared with hikers, as are the spacious and generally clean vault toilet facilities. There's a short and easily accessible pathway leading down to the beach. Trash is picked up daily, and maintenance is provided to the campground facilities. On our last night the batteries to the water station had failed, so we had to drive 0.2 miles to the Upper Hurricane River Campground to get water for drinking and cooking. The beach is great for watching sunsets, and campsites are convenient to multiple hiking trails.

Even though I only spent the night there, it was a fantastic campground. Catching the sunrise over by the lighthouse was one of my favorite things I've done all year. I had no cell service whatsoever, which made the experience even better. 10/10

We thought the beach in front of Hurricane River was beautiful. The lower campground loop has 1 bathroom house with 2 separate vault toilets. The same toilet house services the hiking trail that leads to the Au Sable lighthouse. Even though the bathrooms were cleaned in the morning, we thought they were quite dirty and disgusting. One of the vault toilets didn't have the proper size toilet seat leaving a portion of the toilet exposed. My husband had to wait behind a line of 6 day hikers to use the restroom in the morning. The August campground hosts were nice and easy to communicate with.

Loved our stay at Hurricane River! Site #9 was perfect for us. As with any site, be sure to level the ground on the tent pad; we had a little "hill" that made it somewhat uncomfortable for the one of us who was lying right on it. Short walk to the gorgeous beach and beautiful falls/river. Campground hosts were super nice, helpful, and informative. Outhouses had a lot of flies (typical for August), but were kept pretty clean. Will definitely return!

During our stay at Upper Hurricane campground the one pit toilet was well beyond overdue for vault emptying.
Words can't describe the ammonia reek that users are subjected to. To call it a toxic atmosphere is an understatement.
Our advise, avoid at all costs.
