Riverside Park Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Salmon and trout fishing enthusiasts will find direct access to the Pere Marquette River at this county-managed campground in Scottville. The 50-site facility accommodates everything from tents to large RVs, with both primitive walk-in sites and full hookup options that include electric and water connections. Sites sit on grass in an open layout with trees positioned around the perimeter rather than providing individual site shade.

The campground operates a heated swimming pool, convenience store, and multiple recreation facilities including basketball courts, volleyball, horseshoe pits, and disc golf. Two bathhouses provide hot water and showers, while a dump station serves RVs without sewer hookups. Campers can launch watercraft directly into the river or arrange rentals through local outfitters. The facility stays open May through October, with Ludington's Lake Michigan beaches located 15 minutes away for those exploring campgrounds around Custer.

Nice Little Park on a River

When you first enter the campground you pass by the Pere Marquette River which is a big draw because it is known for great salmon and trout fishing. The park is located in Scottville which is a tiny town but you are only 15 minutes from the Lake Michigan beach town of Ludington. The campground is fairly small (50 sites) but well laid out and will fit any camping unit from tents to large RVs. There are primitive sites and those with electric, water, cable, picnic tables & fire pits. There is a nice, new bathroom that was kept clean. The campground has a very open feel to it with trees on the outskirts. The openness and warm sunshine was appreciated when we were there in late October and experiencing cooler weather. Campsites are on grass and most were in pretty good shape and not too muddy even though we were there at the end of the camping season. 

For a little park, this place has a lot of amenities including swimming pools, convenience store (with ice cream treats for $1), playground, basketball, volleyball, horseshoe pits, fishing, paddling, disc golf, shuffle board, laundry rooms, and clean restrooms.  The best part for us was the access to the river for kayaking. There are many nearby rental and livery companies for those that do not have their own watercraft. If you are looking for good hiking trails check out Ludington State Park and the Huron-Manistee National Forest – both of which also have camping. Overall, we really liked this little park. There were just a handful of sites occupied during our stay which made it nice and quiet.
