Bear Island Primitive Campground

Bear Island Primitive Campground is a small, quiet three-site campground on the Au Sable River primarily used by river paddlers and anglers, with parking for 6 vehicles and no fees required.

The site offers year-round access but has minimal amenities—no restrooms or potable water—making it ideal for self-sufficient paddlers and fishermen seeking a remote riverside camping experience.
