About
South Branch Trail Camp Group Site is a spacious equestrian-focused campground in the Huron National Forest, accommodating up to 250 campers and 65 vehicles. The group site sits in a stand of oak and pine at 880 feet elevation, adjacent to the South Branch River and near the AuSable River. The campground serves as a trailhead for the 240-mile Michigan Shore-to-Shore Horseback Riding and Hiking Trail, which spans from Empire near Lake Michigan to Oscoda on Lake Huron. While priority is given to campers with horses, the site welcomes all groups. The facility includes picket posts for horses and a day-use horse parking area. Lake Huron is a short drive to the east, and the campground is located near the AuSable River Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area. The setting provides beautiful scenery for both equestrian camping and hiking adventures.
Directions
From US-23 north, take M-65 north through Hale. Six miles north of Hale, turn north on Rollways Road. Travel 3 miles to the campground entrance on the right.
