What Guests Are Saying
Buttersville Campground in Ludington, Michigan offers stunning views from its bluff and is well-maintained with clean restrooms and a shower house. While the campground has only basic amenities, it's a great value for the breathtaking beach experience, despite some noise and a challenging stair climb to the beach. Some RV sites may feel tight, but the overall experience is highly praised by visitors.

Quaint little campground sitting upon a bluff in Ludington Michigan. A truly remarkable view can be had here. Only amenity is 30amp service, they have a restroom and shower house. It’s owned by Pere Marquette township. They have wood to purchase for your late night campfires. Some of the sites are pretty tight for a big RV, with that, it’s well worth the price of admission to get those views.

Best camping I’ve been to so far in MI. The beach is breathtaking, the campground very clean. There was a lot of harbor noise at night but nothing too bad. Restrooms are clean. There is about 80 steps to get down to the beach so it’s a workout to get back up but so worth it.

The family and I really enjoyed the campsite. We did not want to leave. The playground is not to far from any site. The view of Lake Michigan is amazing. The beach is super clean. The showers and bathrooms are clean. We will definitely be back next year.

Amazing campground. Clean bathrooms, showers, and an updated playground. Everyone was very friendly. If you buy wood it’s $10 for a as much as you can fit in wheelbarrow. They sell ice there as well. But nothing beats the views of the lake. Well worth the drive to Michigan. Will be back :)

This is a smaller campground so if you want to stay here I would definitely reserve in advance! We arrived without a reservation in the evening and the campground was full :( but we asked anyway. The staff was extremely accommodating and found us a spot where people left early which was amazing that they took the time to check! The whole time we were there staff would go around and make sure everyone was doing okay on there site and even made sure you could get your fire started etc.
The bathrooms were actually really clean and they were following social distancing rules nicely. They also had two outhouse type bathrooms which are what you expect (they clean this down every morning). The showers were decent as well for a campground.
The campground area was very clean, and swept for any debris so you don't have to worry about your tent. There is enough room in each spot to park your vehicle and if you have extra cars there is space on the side of the park to park them!
Ok now the area! Extremely beautiful ❤️ my pictures just don't do justice. The beach area stayed really private with only the camping people on it. To the right there was additional beach area for added space which people went to in the mornings.
If you are ever looking for a place to stay up in Michigan this is the place to go!
