About Rothbury

Rothbury is a small, peaceful village in western Michigan's Oceana County, home to fewer than 500 residents. Daily life here is quiet and unhurried, with modest neighborhood streets surrounded by rolling farmland, woods, and local creeks. The village park and community center serve as the local hub, offering open green space for kids to play and neighbors to gather.

Carlton Creek Bridge

The area is best known for the Double JJ Resort, a rustic destination featuring horseback riding, golf, and an indoor waterpark. Every summer, the grounds also host Electric Forest, the massive music festival that brings a brief burst of energy and visitors from across the country. Sitting right off US-31 and just a few miles inland from Lake Michigan, Rothbury makes it easy to commute to neighboring towns or head to the beach while keeping daily life relaxed and quiet.
