Pleasantly surprised with the large and private campsites. We were there in October, so there were only a couple other sites occupied, but we seldom saw or heard anyone else and it was so quiet and felt more secluded than it really was. The proximity to the monument was also nice. It was awesome to be able to walk over there in the morning to see the sunrise hitting the beautiful trees on the other side of the river, and the gift shop and nice bathrooms over there were a nice bonus as well. If you're expecting electrical hookups or water supply, you'll be disappointed, but for those that enjoy a very quiet and spacious campsite, this place is fantastic.

Very nice rustic campsites. Loop style campsites. Tents and smaller size RV. No electric. And no running loud generators please. Five minute walk to Lumbermans Monument Visitor Center with many exhibits. Very easy trails to lookouts of the Ausable River or Cooke Dam Pond.

Would have had a five star for sure but one of the 4 bathrooms was out of service and it was the one directly across from our site. Someone said it has been out of service for a long time.

Fun times, make sure to bring lots of wood for a fire, no electricity. If you want to party a little loud make sure to stay in the back.

The campground offers lush forest sites located in thicket of skinny, coniferous trees. 🌲 🏕️ Each site has a picnic table, a pole to hang lanterns & trash, a fire ring, and a charcoal grill.🔥 ♨️🗑️ Gravel driveways. 🚗🚗 4-5 vault toilets and water sites.💧 Poor cell service. 📞🚫 Quiet hours 10PM - 6AM. 🤫 A pathway connects to the nearby Monument park. Keep going west to find a trailhead. 🥾 Search along highway 65 if you need supplies. ⛽🛒 Picture is taken from Monument park.
