Au Sable National Scenic River Gabions Campground offers camping on the National Scenic stretch of the Au Sable River. Natural springs are common on this section of the river, including a small one at the river's edge near the gabions. Gabions are rock-filled wire baskets that are placed along the riverbank to help reduce erosion. The Shore-to-Shore Trail passes near the campground; however, Gabions is not a designated horse camp and horse camping is not permitted. Wildlife and waterfowl viewing opportunities exist; please respect wildlife and observe from a distance.

In Glennie, MI, at intersection of State Rt. 65 and Bamfield Rd, take Bamfield Rd west 3 miles to AuSable Rd. Turn right onto AuSable Rd and go 4.9 miles to Forest Rt. 3993. Turn left onto Rt. 3993 and go 0.3 miles into campground.
Have been going there now for 40 years. Beautiful views, well kept outhouse
Don't camp here unless you want to deal with a bunch of crazy drunks who blare obnoxious metal music all night long. Definitely NOT family friendly.
I only just learned that “bugs, quiet and outhouse” were all code words. Sorry folks but I’m happily married.
Love this place. Favorite campsite in the Huron national Forest. Been here 3 times in last 2 years. Bugs can be bad though. Be prepared with bug spray!
