More Information

While the majority of the park remains closed for enhancements through July 1, 2025, visitors can still enjoy 2,000 acres of parkland and a beautiful 3-mile stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline south of the Big Sable River. Hiking trails and a boardwalk along the south side of the Big Sable River will remain accessible with roadside parking along M-116 and at Skyline Trail parking lot. A proposed $4.26 million in federal relief funding from Gov. Whitmer's Building Michigan Together Plan made these and other renovations possible.

Keep an eye on park's Facebook page at Facebook.com/LudingtonStatePark for the latest closure updates. Even if you don't have an account, you can still view this public page.

The campground is divided two loops, the east and west loops. The sites are generous in size, open and sunny. There are 106 sites, including eight tent-only sites (no electrical) located off the campground’s west loop. There is 20/30-amp service available on each site and a sanitation station located nearby. Recycling is available in the campground.
