Hike or horseback ride on the Michigan Shore-To-Shore Riding and Hiking Trail. The trail begins in the town of Empire near Lake Michigan, on the west side of Michigan and ends near Oscoda, Michigan on the Lake Huron eastern side of the state. The eastern part of the trail follows the historic AuSable River to its end in AuSable, just south of Oscoda.

Very nice and clean place. A lot of camping space for RV parking.
Very nice set up, sites are large and flat also great for horses and hiking
Stayed here for the 4th of July, very quiet and peaceful. Park was almost empty. Sites are huge and mostly grassy. Just watch your step walking after dark, this is a horse campground and the horses don't pick up after themselves.
