About
Rollways Campground is located 7 miles from Hale, Michigan along the beautiful AuSable River. The site was built in 1909 as one of the first campgrounds established in Huron National Forest. The space is small and secluded and features an observation area, picnic grounds and log shelter. The facility is located just off the River Road National Scenic Byway in northeast Lower Michigan, which showcases incredible views of the AuSable River Valley. The campground offers 19 pull-through campsites with picnic tables, lantern posts, grills, tent pads and campfire rings. At the picnic area, a log shelter, picnic tables and grills are available. Vault toilets and drinking water spigots are dispersed throughout the campground and all roads and camping spurs are paved. Rollways is perched on a high bluff overlooking Loud Dam Pond on the AuSable River, which flows west to east for 138 miles until it reaches Lake Huron. An accessible trail connects the campground and picnic area to Westgate Scenic Overlook, offering epic views of the river valley. The same hiking path passes a stairway leading down to the river where visitors can fish and wade. The 22-mile River Road National Scenic Byway parallels the AuSable River and provides access to additional scenic attractions in the area.
