I made my reservation at Oscoda County Park with Dan. He said that the place was pretty much full due to the upcoming canoe race. He said he would reserve me a site near the river. He also took the time to explain about the Au Sable River Marathon that was to take place while we were there. Make sure you read my posting about this event.
When we arrived at the campground, Jim checked us in at the office. We then headed over to our site. What we found was a small site with no water and a bush in the middle of it. Knowing that this site would be a problem we headed back to the office. We were told that all the other sites were taken. After a bit of coaxing, Jim did. however, reluctantly switch us to a new site.
Our new site was really nice. This one even had water. Most of the sites here are shaded. Some are rustic, some have electric and others have water and electric. The dump station also has potable water even though it is located on the wrong side of the one-way entrance. There is not much of a view of the Au Sable River from any of the sites due to the tree coverage. If you go up the hill at the end of the park you can catch a bit of the water from there.
