About River Dune Campground

[](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157659836028984) 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. **[Brochure with map](http://go.usa.gov/x9h8F)**: This brochure is set to print on 11 x 17 paper, landscape (wide) orientation.
