Nice place with a great hiking trail nearby. Would have been nice to have firewood available at the campground since it's required to acquire it nearby the campsite, but there was a place down the road to purchase some.

Campsites were pretty big. It was quiet while we were there but it may have an off time which was a bonus. Walking distance to the monument and Ausable river. We enjoyed our stay all around.

The campground was amazing it was clean and quite. I also loved how spread out the spots were so your neighbor wasn’t too close. The vault toilets were always kept very clean we will definitely be back again.

This place was awesome!!! We had a great time visiting the lumbermans monument and getting a great amount of exercise going down all the steps to the river. Very quiet campground. Nice campsites!!! Kids really enjoyed here. Just a 20 minute drive to Lake Huron. Definitely planning another trip!!!

Overall, we had four nice camping nights at Monument Campground. Upon arriving, we found our site well-marked with our name and dates. The place was tidy. The national forest itself is superb. We found the staff in the nearby visitors centre quite friendly, although they certainly did not view the campground as their immediate responsibility. Lots of hiking trails along the Au Sable River. In fact, the place seemed totally unsupervised. !

This is by far my favorite campground in Michigan. The dunes along the trails near the campground offer some of the most beautiful views of sunsets I've ever seen. Love this place!
