About this property

Cozy camping retreat on the banks of the beautiful AuSable River

Looking for a unique camping experience without the large crowds of a conventional campground? Look no further! This single camping space is nestled in the north woods of Grayling on the banks of the AuSable River. This site is located just above the "Holy Waters" world renowned for its trout fishing . With over 1000 feet of river frontage all to yourself, your days can be spent fly fishing, kayaking, swimming, tubing, or just relaxing on the river bank. If you're looking to explore, shop, or get a bite to eat you can take a short (less than 5 minute) drive into town where you can enjoy some of our local restaurants and breweries, Paddle Hard Brew, Dead Bear Brew, and Grayling restaurant, to name a few. Be sure to indulge in some downtown shopping! Some of our favorites include, The Old Lumberyard Shoppes, Tip'n The Mitten, and North Country Corner. If you're looking to stay in nature Hartwick Pines State park is short drive away for a beautiful walk through the old growth forest.

Had a great time at the camper for our anniversary. Close enough to town to go out a few meals and to go down the ausable in our raft. Even got to sit in the river and enjoy watching people go down it while we relaxed

Great little spot on the AuSable River. Everything you could need in one place. It's like camping up North in your trailer....without having to tow a trailer. Super clean. Great communication. And literally minutes from downtown if you need anything. We would look forward to returning.

We stayed for the weekend with our two children 7 and 11 and we had a great time. The property was beautiful and private the camper was clean and cozy. The children loved it. There were all the amenities you could need just had to bring clothes and some food/drinks. We did a kayak trip in town. Check in and out was so smooth. Communication with the host was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

Northern Michigan Serenity at its best!

What an amazing place to decompress and enjoy some time in nature on a gorgeous piece of the Ausable river. Couldn’t of asked for a better host. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great weekend. The camper was squeaky clean with super comfy bedding. Looking forward to staying again!

Beautiful location

It's a very peaceful and quiet place on the banks of the Au Sable river. There's a grill, swingset, lawn chairs,a firepit, firewood, just about anything you could want really. We even saw deer crossing the river. Some nice statgazing at night too. The camper is clean and in great condition. Town is a short drive away. Definitely will come back in the future!
