Buttermilk Campground offers a unique reservation system. While sites 27 through 46 in Loop B are reservable, a significant portion, approximately 60% of the total 56 sites (sites 1-26 and 47-56), are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. This increases the chances of finding a spot, even if the reserved sites appear fully booked on recreation.gov.

The campground boasts a great location right on the water. Loop A is entirely dedicated to first-come, first-served campsites, providing direct access to the lake. There are a few docks available on the lake for tying up boats, although it's noted that these docks are not adjusted for fluctuating water levels.

Recent upgrades have enhanced the camping experience at Buttermilk Campground. For the 2024 season, new vault toilets were installed, which visitors have found to be very clean. Additionally, each campsite now features new fire pits and a new utility table. Further improvements are planned, with new picnic tables expected to be introduced for the 2025 season.

The camp hosts at Buttermilk Campground are consistently praised for being the best. They are described as friendly and exceptionally helpful, contributing to a positive and welcoming atmosphere for all campers.

A practical feature of many campsites at Buttermilk Campground is that they are pull-through sites, making them convenient for RVs and trailers. If you are looking for a lakeside camping experience in Island Park with a good mix of reservable and first-come, first-serve options, newly updated facilities, and helpful camp hosts, Buttermilk Campground is an excellent choice.
