I was not happy with the mess left by previous campers, or that hiking trails are located so close to the site, but the rangers were exceptionally helpful and kind. Beautiful location, and lots of wildlife.

We thoroughly enjoyed camping on the Ausable River. We did have to do some cleaning up from the previous occupants as they left a bunch of trash in the fire pit and many beer bottle tops scattered around the grounds. It's a shame that people have to be disrespectful of the land and other people. The site itself was beautiful, fairly easy to get to, lots of wildlife, and the occasional boat traffic for entertainment. We plan to make this an annual trip even though it's a 4 hour drive. Well worth it.

We love camping here. The river access is great and the sites are typically pretty quiet. They're also typically very well maintained.

Most beautiful place. The river was great for kayaking. So peaceful and quiet at night. Star gazing - incredible! We will be back.

The View is wonderful. You have to be prepared for rustic camping . If you are tenting . Not all the sites accommodate travel trailers.

We’ve been camping here for the last 3 years and have always had a great time. The people in Glennie are always so welcoming and friendly. The camp is always clean and of course has the most beautiful views. We will continue to camp here as much as possible. Definitely a piece of heaven on earth. ❤️
