​New items in ORANGE as of ​​​​November 23, 2025, also please note updated info below highlighted in RED:

 

CLOSED FACILITIES:  The center clubhouse / bathhouse / laundry has officially been closed for the season and water to the park is turned off.  The front bathhouse is open for use during the Winter season.

​

AED's:  The AED's have been moved to the mens & womens front bathhouses for the winter season.

​

SPEED BUMPS:  Speed bumps have been removed for the Winter season.  The campground speed limit is 5 MPH, please be sure to always follow this. 

​

SEWER:  DO NOT place anything into the sewers during the closed season, as this causes backups in the system resulting in costly repairs and cleanouts.

​

WALKING PATHS:  The walking paths near Units #89/#90/#99 & #143/#144 are in the process of being replaced, Please avoid using these walkways until they are completed.

​

PARKING:  We have been notified that the fire department will be through the park numerous times throughout the year.  Please be sure that you are abiding by the campground parking regulations.  Regulations are to be at a minimum of 2' off the road and away from any structure and 2' within your units property line.  Most property lines are not at the road, but several feet within; where your pins for your lot lines are.  See the parking rules further down.

​

SPEEDING:  The speed limit within the entire park is 5MPH, this includes all vehicles including electronic bikes and scooters.  Bikes, scooters, etc., should be traveling the same direction as motor vehicles to help stop accidents.  The Board continues to receive complaints regarding speeding.  The campground speed limit is 5mph, please abide by this for the safety of all.  

​

GARBAGE:  Break down all garbage and crush boxes, containers, etc. before discarding, so there is plenty of room for trash.  Remember that any large items, boat tarps/ shrink wrap covers or construction debris must be hauled off premises by the co-owner.  No trash can be left outside the dumpsters, all garbage must be placed within the receptacles; not around it or in front of it.  Do not place dirt in bags in the compost area.

​

LAUNDRY:  Don't over load the machines, this causes them to break.  We have had Coles Appliance out numerous times this past year  to repair both the washers and dryers.  If you have large loads or comforters, it is recommended to use the laundry in town.

​​

CAMPGROUND RULES:  Please review the campground rules under the forms and bylaws for more information regarding fireworks, pets, campfires, quiet hours, etc.  There were numerous complaints regarding campground rules not being followed such as bikes being rode on the walking paths and boardwalk, fireworks within the park, items and garbage being left on the beach, trash not being broken down, marijuana smoked off co-owners own property, and speeding, etc.  Please review and follow the campground rules (posted under the Forms and Bylaws tab) and Michigan State laws.

​​​​​​​​​​

GATE CODE:  All gate codes are sent via email to the co-owner who receives the invoices.  It is an attachment with your quarterly dues or sent in an email in months with no dues.  Remember:  the key cannot gain you entrance into or exit from the park.​

  

SEWER:  DO NOT place items down your sink or toilet drains, other than toilet paper.  Do not flush things such as "flushable" wipes, baby wipes, feminine products, grease, etc., doing so causes clogging and makes it more costly to maintain our sewer system.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

RIVER SLIP DOCK OWNERS:  All docks, posts or any other materials cannot be placed on the boardwalk or common ground for storage at any time.  They will need to be stored on personal property, i.e. your lot(s) or elsewhere outside of the campground.

 

​

ANNUAL INSPECTION 2025:  Every fall EGLE visits the park as part of the process to receive a yearly license. Compliance is essential with maintaining 4 ft. halo's around all structures, appropriate water / electrical line hook-ups, safety chains around propane tanks, and anti-siphon water devices on ALL water spigots. We have passed this years inspection. If your anti-siphon valve is missing at any time, you will be charged $10.00 for each device when the park manager replaces it.​​​​​

LEASEE/RENTER FORMS:  This form has been updated and can be located under the Forms and Bylaws tab, please use this new form going forward.  All old forms should be discarded as they will no longer be accepted.  This should be used for any one who is utilizing yourunit that is not listed as a co-owner or designated as immediate family under AHCCA Campground regulations.  All Leasee/Renter forms must be turned in at least 10 days prior to the arrival of the leasee.   No pets are allowed to be brought on premise by any person other than co-owners own pets.

​

ARCHITECTURAL FORMS:  The State of Michigan requires all buildings, additions, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing to have a permit and inspection of the work performed; also to comply with the zoning rules for the location.  The State requires the county and township perform these tasks and ensure the Code is followed.  Homeowners can perform the work on their property and pull required permits. Contractors must perform the work and pull permits on non-homeowners’ property.

These permits are issued by the code authorities and have a fee associated with them.

 

Through the AHCCA  Architectural form, AuSable township allows our Park, by law, to issue the internal permit to ensure State code and State campground park rules are followed for repair, maintenance and placement.  They are allowed access to these forms when requested.  There are no fees for this method.  Inspections are performed by Board members.  Rules for placement and all methods of construction or repair are followed per State campground laws (EGLE).  

 

The architectural form is required for any placement, installations or repairs on your property. Examples would be roofs, HVAC, additions, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing.  AHCCA follows these guidelines because it is the Law in the State of Michigan.  Therefore, architectural forms must be submitted and approval received from the Board prior to any placement, changes, additions, repairs, etc. to your unit.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

COMPLAINTS/PARK ISSUES:  All complaints or park issues must be documented in writing and given/sent to a Board Member or you can use the owners form on this webpage under the Forms & Bylaws tab (on the bottom of the page) and it will be electronically sent to the Board.  All complaints are kept in strongest confidentiality amongst the board only, will be looked into by the Board and a response given back to the co-owner.  We continue to "hear" complaints through out the park, but they must be documented in order to get to a resolution, this would include issues with pets off leashes, co-owners not cleaning up after themselves, blight issues, maintenance that may be needed within the park, etc.

 

SECURITY:  If you see something unusual, out of place or broken, please let the Park Manager know, or dial 911 if perceived urgent.

 

WALKING PATHS/BOARDWALK: Remember these paths and the boardwalk are for walking only; no bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, etc.

 

​

PET REMINDERS:  This past season there were several complaints concerning pets i.e., lunging, unleashed, unmonitored, pet waste in and about the campground including pet waste in front of the park by the basketball net, etc. Please keep your pets on leashes at all times and clean up after them in EVERY area of the campground. The State of Michigan requires that all animals must be leashed at all times and under the owner's control.  No pets are allowed other than those that are owned by co-owners.
