    Pups first time to the beach

    My dog loves to swim and so I knew he’d love the beach. Everyone was nice and spread out even though it was busy and my dog was able to play fetch in the water without other dogs stealing his ball. Other beach goers were so nice and it was a great time. We’ll definitely be coming back.

    Dog friendly!!

    We were happy to come across this dog friendly beach while camping near Ludington! The pubic beach is a great place to take your dog to cool off or chill in the sand. There is also a little wooded area at the back of the beach to provide shade for those pups who don't like too much sun. We will definitely visit again!

    Nice Beach, Very Dog Friendly!

    Very clean and beautiful beach! There were many dogs there, and our dog had a great time playing fetch in the water. The weather was great, and there was plenty of room on the beach.

    Great dog beach!

    Although a little out of the way from town, this is a great beach for the dogs to be able to swim with the kids. We had a great time here and will be back!

    Buttersville is Awesome and Management is Great too!

    I love Buttersville Campground and the people that work there are Awesome people too! Ray the mgr. and Michelle are wonderful. The campground is like no other. It's Beautiful and peaceful. I've been going for years and will continue to. The last few years we've gone up twice a year and we're looking forward to going up again this week-end.

    Nice beach!

    Desperate for some beach fun with our lab, we decided to drive up and check this place out. It's a cloudy 52 degrees but a beautiful spot and our Daisy is in love with It! Nice big beach area, even with Lake Michigan being so high now. Can't wait to come back.

    nice

    Nice beach. Great for the pup. Our navigation did not take us to the beach. Punch in Buttersville campground. It's just up the street

    Sand & water

    Walk on leash until you reach the beach. Our 2 were thrilled to find a spot they could enjoy off leash. We were here in late June 2015.

    dog-friendly beach

    The park is located just past the campground. Dog-friendly. Clean. Maybe a half mile stretch of beach between private properties. We had the beach to ourselves on a perfect morning. We visited several beaches on our western Michigan vacation. This was the best for dogs.
