Great site! Excellent panoramic view. Ease of entry with a large van. Road conditions for my site were just fine. Fire ring was great, grill top in great working order. If I had arrived any later (without much daylight) it would have been tough to find the site, thankfully I had a bit of light left! Great experience!

The directions from the website are so bad, it took us 45 minutes to find our way... but the camping site was amazing. just wish the directions were a little better.

So beautiful! It was an absolutely amazing experience camping on the Ausable. The campsites are well taken care of and very spacious. We had trouble finding our campsite at first because the roads to the campsites are not marked on any GPS system that we own. However, we were eventually able to locate the sites and absolutely adored them. We will definitely returning for another camping trip.

There were about 10 people camping in my spot when I arrived. I had to go to the campground down the street which had some First come sites
