We have stayed here the last weekend they are open in October, the last two years. This is my kids favorite campground. They have a basement with pool, and ping pong. A nice playground for the younger kids. Miles and miles of trails for every ability. We like to stay this weekend, because of the Halloween festivities they do! They have a newly renovated pool during warmer months! The staff is always happy and helpful.

This was our first time staying at the Ausable Chasm campground and it was a wonderful experience. The grounds were very well cared for, bathrooms and laundry rooms extremely clean, the staff was very friendly, the pool was so nice (and heated!) We felt safe letting our kids (age 7) ride around on their bicycles as the trees weren't too thick and the roads were free of debris. We stayed in a cabin (#1) which was super cute. Just enough room for the double bed, twin bunk beds and a small desk/chair (with drawers for storage!) and a cute little front porch. The playground was fun and they had old school games in the clean basement of the club house (ping pong, pool, foosball...) Just a really great place. And the proximity to the chasm is unbeatable - you can totally walk there! Highly recommend and we hope to return some day!

We camped with our RV for five nights at this excellent campground. The sites are spacious and well maintained. The bathroom and shower facilities were impeccably serviced and were always clean, even over the weekend when the campground was more full. The staff are friendly and super helpful. We did laundry, and like everything else, it was clean and well maintained. One of the best parts for us was all the hiking/mountain biking trails right on the property. They’re well managed and marked, spanning all difficulty levels. Lastly, if you’re in interested in exploring the chasm, you get a discount on tickets. Would stay here again without hesitation.

We have visited this campground 2x with our camper van. Once last September 2024, and in July 2025. Both times we went during the week and it was super quiet. The reception is super friendly. They will carry wood to your campground, they offer you a discount at the Chasm, and on the weekend they have fresh donuts for sale ;). The showers and washrooms are very clean. The boys (6&8) drove their bikes for hours. There are some hiking trails out back, and you can also easily walk to the Chasm and take the boat tour. I grew up spending weekends at this campground when it was a KOA. It was so fund to go back. Not much has changed, except the sign out front, the pool is renovated, and very clean, and there are now washrooms at the back end of the campground! They have also added a few cottages to rent. There is a game room at the main building in the basement (which was always there). There is a cute treasure hunt that the children can do while walking the grounds. All in all, a great experience.

Our family with two kids 2 & 8 year enjoy their first camping in a cabin. Cabin is cosy and spacious for 4. The mattress was firm to our liking with waterproof cover. A bunk and full beds a desk and two chairs. Porch is ample to accommodate 6 and dry. Separation between cabins is very good. The warm showers and clean toilets are clean and comfortable. Laundry room is well priced. $1.50 per wash or dry.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience this weekend. Staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The campground is very clean, including bathrooms and showers. They had a free pig roast and entertainment at night, which was pleasant. We definitely plan to make this our annual group camping spot!

This was our second year staying here. The people are so very nice and friendly. The bathhouse and shower rooms were always clean and stocked. Very kid friendly. Our grandson loved the scavenger hunt. We felt safe letting him ride his bike around the grounds. The pool was fabulous after a very hot day hiking the chasm. Highly recommend this campground.

I was there the first week end of July and i loved it! We booked one of the little "ready to camp" cabin. It was exactly like the picture. I would go back anytime. Although there was only 1 sink to wash the dishes, it was always free when i needed it. The pool was super clean, the shower and bathroom were clean. Super helpful staff.

I had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The sites were spacious, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. The staff provided excellent customer service and were very friendly. While the RV site could have been a bit more level, it still worked out fine. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.

We stayed during the summer in a cabin and had a wonderful time. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and private, the campground was quiet, the staff were accommodating, and there were lots of things to do within walking distance! I recommend Ausable Brewing Co and swimming at the Red Covered Bridge in Jay.

Good variety of sites, from tent (no hook-ups) to full 50 amp with water and sewer. Showers were clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Ausable Chasm, as the name might suggest. Roads were sand, some of it deep, which was odd. A solid choice for an adventure weekend in Ausable Chasm.

This campground serves as a "sister campgroubd" to the Ausable Chasm attraction which is just across the street from it. In fact, we walked to the chasm and back on Saturday. The campground doesn't have much for amenities. There is a very small pool and a very limited in size playground for the kiddos. We did have a very spacious site, but many of the sites are not very private, in fact, they really are one on top of the other with very few trees or bushes between sites for any privacy. But it does serve its purpose to provide an economical $50 a night price with electric, water and sewer, and very close to the chasm. We did unfortunately have issues with our Dog Surge Protector. It got tripped a couple of different times and we ended up having to chance it and run our electric without it. Many times the voltage and the amps coming through the box were very low or high. There wasn't much of a happy medium. But overall we were fine with the accommodations and our neighbors behind us were quite friendly. Bathrooms were also kept clean.
