Au Sable National Scenic River Located between the Au Sable River Scenic Overlook and Au Sable Loop Campground, this small site is a short .5 mile walk from the gate. Set back from the road and camping area, campers can enjoy views of the river. Visitors can access the river from a short set of stairs located near the site.

Loved it had a great time with the family and grandkids just wish at some point there were showers lol
Great little camping area, and pretty close to Mio. A couple of tips for first-timers... the water pump is a little tricky to find, look for it behind the trash containers. Also, avoid campsite 4 (middle site on the vault toilet side of the road) if there is even a hint of heavy rain during your stay, as it quickly becomes a lake.
Nice rustic camping. Well maintained grounds. Gave 4 stars because the bathroom on site didn't have tailet paper for 3 of the 5 days we stayed there. Good thing we brought our own!
Sweet spot on au sable river to access nice trout water. This is in Mio, MI not Cadillac. I don't know why it says it, can't figure how to correct it.
My first time here and it was perfect!! It was quiet, our site was huge and just very relaxing!! Only thing...watch out for ticks. I had 4 on me from setting up the tent. Other than that, just beautiful and serene. No showers, no power. There is a vault toilet...all I needed. Just bring your own water to wash hands. Cannot wait to go back!!
