About
Rollways Campground holds the distinction of being one of the first campgrounds established in Huron National Forest, dating back to 1909. The campground is perched dramatically on a high bluff overlooking Loud Dam Pond on the AuSable River, which flows 138 miles eastward to Lake Huron. The setting is small and secluded, with just 19 campsites tucked among the trees. All sites are pull-through with paved driveways, making the campground well-suited for large motorhomes and trailers. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, grill, lantern post, and tent pad. Vault toilets and drinking water spigots are dispersed throughout the campground. A log shelter with a picnic area provides a gathering spot. An accessible hiking trail connects the campground to Westgate Scenic Overlook, offering panoramic views of the AuSable River Valley. The trail passes a stairway leading down to the river for fishing and wading. The campground is located just off the 22-mile River Road National Scenic Byway, which parallels the AuSable River and showcases incredible views of the valley.
