Ausable River Camping

Amazing campsite, absolutely will be back again next summer!

Beautiful spot to be this fall. Sites 80-90s are placed well on wider parts of the river, though a number are about 20-35' above the water with descents that are too steep to walk or climb down easily (be careful in the middle of the night of falling off a ledge!). We put our kayaks in at another spot down the road, paddled about 25 minutes to our site, and docked them there, where we could just scramble up and down for access. Definitely not ideal for swimming, though you can make it work if you're needy like me. We would have liked to get water to boil/filter from the river, but carrying it up and down was not really feasible. Ground is soft for tents and bare feet. Decent tree spacing for hammocks, plenty of wood for fires if you have a saw.

This is a dope campsite.

Nice, secluded location. River view, no access

67D is a gorgeous site. Full view of the river! Great site for tents or tiny campers. Large site but quite a few trees and large roots for larger campers. Neighboring campers are far enough away for privacy.

Incredible site. Beautiful, isolated, with lovely hardwood trees on east coast of this island. A short trail leads to west coast of island for watching sunset.
Would live on this island permanently if I could.

Huge site on a nice overlook of Loud Pond. Nice access from a little lagoon off the north side of Loud Pond. Rock bass and bullhead catfish in the lagoon. Sandy ramp leading down to main part of Loud Pond from site. Fire ring intact. Excellent stargazing set up. Can see Loud Pond Dam from the site.

Very nice site. About 3-4 minutes walk from parking lot. Good river access for canoe or obtaining water. There is a latrine between 60 and 61 up on the hill. We had no neighbors in late September.
Do not go off of site location on Google Maps, this makes it look closer to the day use parking area off of Cooke Dam Rd than it actually is.

A fine site. Not far from the 4001 Canoe Landing where you can park before heading down river.
Isolated, quiet, close to the river. Easy to find with signs. Go slow on the dirt road back - I scraped the bottom of my car pretty good.

Fun weekend at site 004. The river access was great, particularily if you wanted to bring a kayak or canoe. Definetly see more people though than other sites. 5 or 6 cars came down to turn around in our site since the two track ends there. Lots of canoes and kayaks and people drifting fishing in front of the campsite. Loggers on the two track weren't too disruptive. Bummed that my kids had to listen to some folks dropping f bombs and blasting heavy metal on the river right in front of our site fishing but it is what it is. Overall great time.
