Van Buren Campground

Van Buren Campground is located within Van Buren State Park in western Michigan. The campground sits on the southeastern shores of the very long Great Lake, Lake Michigan. This location is situated near the small town of South Haven, while the nearest larger town is Saint Joseph, located about 25 miles to the southwest. The state's capital, Lansing, is more than 100 miles to the northeast.

Van Buren Campground is quite large and sits near the lake. The campground doesn't actually provide lake views, as it is nestled within the nearby forest, but there are walking trails that offer easy lake access. Electric hookups are available at each campsite, and there are bathrooms and showers offered for campers. There is also a playground for children. Pets are welcome at the park, though not on the beach. Reservations can be made for some of the campsites. Camping with an RV at this campground makes for a great place to spend the night when you're enjoying all there is to do locally.

This is a fairly rural area, though grocery stores, gas stations, and trucks stops are available within 20 miles of the campground. Some of these even offer showers, and all are perfect options for a quick stop to refill supplies. There are also plenty of restaurants in town if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. With a stay at this family-friendly campground along Lake Michigan's shore, it shouldn't be a problem to locate any services you may require.
