Seasonal camping is great here. Plenty of things to do in the area. Going to miss the Ausable River Queen RIP.. Showers are clean and water is hot. Ice cream is big portioned and always flavorful! Small Beach area in the park but it is in the Sun and always fun! City of Oscoda is about 10 minutes away for any Essentials needed not available inside the park. See you next year!

Great campground, beautiful views, great water. A must see stop for any MI campground visitor.

Large campground for rv's, and tents. The also have yurts and cabins to rent. The lots are spacious our lot was mostly dirt with a small patch of grass. We just started a campfire anywhere because there wasn't a marked area for a camp fire. There wasn't a rim, rocks or a dug pit for the camp fire. It looked like people were just making a campfire wherever they wanted, because there were piles of ashes all over which was messy. The kids and dogs made a mess with the random ash piles. They have a nice little store and they sell most things you might need camping. The store has Hudsonville ice cream, the also sell firewood. They have activities on some days. They also rent pontoon, jet skis, bikes and other things. Many sites have a view of the water. Paved roads are nice, beach was small but nice.

After primitive camping I booked a week at Old Orchard,if you like a more busy louder campground it's right up your alley,I did have a good experience and met some new friends but I prefer more sanctuary

While this is one of our favorite campgrounds I feel I still need to make a few comments about my recent stay. I couldn’t hook my water up because there was already 10 hoses hooked into one tap when addressed issue with campground they said just figure it out. Not having water means we had to use the bathrooms in the park instead of our camper 🤮 we stayed 4 days no matter what time of day or night we went to the bathroom or shower they were absolutely disgusting feminine hygiene products laying all over floor, hair clinging all over walls, one shower had zero hot water at all. It was disappointing to see especially since you have to pay for the showers I at least want something that I feel clean coming out of instead of dirtier. I hope this review brings cleaning bathrooms to top priority I understand the campground is big and it’s hard to keep up but even after they were just cleaned they weren’t actually clean at all

Great place to enjoy. The bathroom is clean. Beach is sandy and nice. The only thing is that some sites have stumps in places that make it hard to park your camper. You also need a few electrical cords to get the box and water hose. There are no fire rings, so that is a plus or minus.

This campground has beautiful views of the lake. There’s tons on trees though out the campground and in most the of campsites. Which could make it tricky for people to pull campers in and out. The bathrooms were not the best. People trash them so badly throughout the day. You have to pay .50 (you purchase coins at the camp store) for 5 minutes of shower time. The water for the showers in bath house one is so hot that it’s uncomfortable to even use, it would have burned my kids skin. I had to drive to the back bath house just to let my kids take a shower, which is a bit of a hike to get back there from the front. The water hookup at weird, have to have splitter for everyone to use the water. Definitely a huge campground tho. Over all we had fun.

Went here growing up since I was very young. Now that I have my own family I'm grateful to share a great experience with them. We rented a yurt and left the camper behind and towed the boat instead. Lots of good fishing and fun traveling around the river. All around great experience. Even my teenager didn't want to leave.

Pet friendly. Seasonal sites available. Water and electric hookups included with sites. Bathhouses are pretty clean and costs 25¢ for 2 minutes for showers. There is a small general store on the grounds for ice, firewood, groceries etc. Well kept beach and large campsites. They have multiple boat launches and areas to dock. Beaches are not pet friendly but there are access points to the water for your pups and poo bag stations throughout the grounds. I have Sprint/T-Mobile and had full bars with 5G the whole time but other carriers did not have service at all. Wifi is available for extra through their website.

Our new favorite camping spot. Or site was conveniently located right across the playground and the bathroom. With a path to the lake. We will be back next year for sure. So many kids activities on the weekend. Make sure to put away all the food. We had a racoon friend steal a bag of grapes. There is a camp store with icecream and essentials in case you forget anything. Showers take tokens. Also great fishing area.
