Cartier Park Campground

Great campground! We will definitely be back. Loved the brand new showers and bathrooms - super clean. Management was very nice & helpful. Rates were very good. I loved the paved walking/bike path that is adjacent to the campground. A few things to be aware of: worth it to go see the different sites & hand pick yours. Many were unlevel or small/narrow and odd shaped. Also the traffic going by the sites up front is loud and starts up early in the morning. With a little careful consideration, it's a wonderful place. Has a playground but no other entertainment, which was fine for us.

I wasn't planning to stay here, as I was headed to Ludington State Park without a reservation (my bad) only to learn it's closed until summer 2025. I was happily surprised by Cartier, which is just down the road from the state park. It's a GREAT campground! Brand new bathhouse, where the showers are separate from the bathrooms, which are individual LARGE stalls. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable. If they aren't in the office you can reach them by cell. The sites are plenty roomy, and the spot where I parked my tent had electric and water and faced the lake. They also have rustic tent sites. It was quiet and peaceful. The campground is adjacent to the Cartier Park Pathway, which is a beautiful paved city park through the woods. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend.

my buddy and i booked a rustic site with no power or anything and it was a neat little site with plenty of room between others. plenty of nice bathrooms and showers and some nearby docks for fishing. we had a lot of fun. if you buy firewood make sure it’s from them there at the site and it’s dry not wet. we made that mistake lol

With the state park closed, this is a very good alternative. They offer rustic to full hook up at a reasonable price. Brand new bathhouse are super nice. They have a paved walking/bike trail plus mountain bike trail. It is in the Lincoln lake and only a couple miles from town. You can get shade or sun sites. My only negative is sites are small, no privacy unless you are on the outer loops, but they seem to be occupied by seasonal campers. We stayed 3 nights and it was pretty quiet

Planned a birthday camping trip for my girlfriend and decided to stay here and it was great! We arrived on a Thursday and stayed until Monday morning and have zero complaints with the park! We stayed in the rustic campsites and really enjoyed ourselves. The camper/rv area was pretty busy but the tent sites were fairly empty and was very quiet. The location is super close to town for quick trips to a store and close to the Ludington State Park where we spent most of our time hiking the trails and taking in the sunsets on the beach. The rustic sites had a new bathhouse which both the bathrooms and showers were extremely clean and taken care of. Would definitely stay here again!
