Reminders for the Safety and Consideration of All:

You must be parked within your unit lot lines, please use the new pins/posts that have been placed at your unit. This is for the passthrough of boats, trailers, etc. and most importantly - so emergency vehicles can pass through if there is a car coming the opposite way, as a few seconds can save a life.
Please respect other co-owners and follow the quiet time rule which is between 11pm - 8am.
Please be cautious when swimming as boats may not be able to see swimmers. It is suggested to have a float or other item for visibility if you are a ways away from shore. It is also asked that all boaters stay clear of swimmers and approach the beach/seawall area slowly and with extreme caution.
Please clean up after yourself, a lot of garbage has been left along our beach and the beach to the north. Please be considerate and pick up all items when leaving, such as bottles/cans, wrappers, burnt wood, etc.
NO fireworks or sparklers of any type are allowed anywhere within the park including the beach area above the seawall.
NO fires are allowed, except below the metal seawall or at the marina firepit.
All dogs must be on leashes within the park, including the beach. Also, be sure to immediately clean up after your dog including feces and any holes that may be dug.
Use walkways (no bikes allowed); cutting through lots or between units is not allowed.

Grass Cutting: It is the responsibility of the unit owners to ensure that the areas of grass needing to be cut remain clear of any items which includes, boats trailers, hoses, yarn ornaments, goose/animal deterrents, vehicles, etc. It is not the responsibility of the lawn service to move these items or attempt to weed whip around/beneath them. Also, if you are using another owners unit to park your vehicle, they should be aware and provided approval prior to parking on them and it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is moved so that the lawn cutting service can trim their grass.

Parking: Numerous parking complaints have been brought to the attention of the board and all co-owners need to ensure that they comply with the following parking rules:

Each unit must have at least one parking spot that is a minimum of 9' x 18'
All vehicles must be at least 2' off the road AND 2' from their property lines and any structure
No vehicles can be parked in the road at any time
You can only park in the marina if you own a marina slip (river slips are not part of the marina). You are also allowed only one car (parking spot) per marina slip that is owned.

These regulations are for the safety of all and those owners who do not comply will receive letters from the board. Please be courteous of other owners and the cost that occurs in sending these letters; along with the time associated with the board who can use the time to focus on more important issues within the park.

Marina: The marina now has a website and is managed by the Marina Board and this post to our site is to help get the information out as quickly as possible. Please share their website with any marina owners you may know - AusableHuronCondominiumMarina.com.

New items in ORANGE:

October 20, 2025 - the center clubhouse / bathhouse has officially been closed for the season.

PARKING: We have been notified that the fire department will be through the park numerous times this holiday week. 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.

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 must be hauled off premises and no trash can be left outside the dumpsters. 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 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.

SPEED BUMPS: Speed bumps have been placed for our open season. The campground speed limit is 5 MPH, please be sure to always follow this. Also, the speedbumps are not to be drivin around to avoid them.

BATHHOUSES/CLUBHOUSE/LAUNDRY: These areas are now ALL open, but there are still a few Spring opening items that will be completed soon such as the baseboards. The Board appreciates your understanding as we continue to improve the facilities.

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.

AED's: The AED's have been moved to their cases outside of each bathhouse for the open season.

WATER: The water issue was a minor repair caused from the debris that came into the park from the main township water line. Water is now on for the season in the park.

GARBAGE: The dumpsters have been opened for the season. All garbage must be placed within the receptacles; not around it or in front of it. As a reminder all larger items and construction debris, must be dispose of off property by the co-owner, this includes boat shrink/winter wrapping.

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 2024: 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.

CAMGROUND RULES: There were numerous complaints over 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.

SPECTRUM: SEE THE WIFI/CABLE TAB ABOVE.

WEBCAM: The beach webcam is currently not working. This is owned and managed by a co-owner and the Board doesn't have access to or manage it in anyway. Once it works the link can be found on our homepage or directly at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mp-HfJMWvA

SPEED LIMIT: The Board continues to receive complaints regarding speeding. The campground speed limit is 5mph, please abide by this for the safety of all.

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. All Leasee/Renter forms must be turned in at least 10 days prior to the arrival of the leasee.

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: Please use caution when using the walking paths, as many tree roots have upheaved the blacktop. These areas have been marked with paint to provide a visual caution until a contractor can be acquired to make the repairs. 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.
