Directions to Buttonwood Campground from the US22/US322 Port Royal Exit
From U.S. Routes 22 & 322, take Route 75 (Port Royal Exit).
At flashing red light, turn left to Mexico,
Go ½ mile, take 1st right after Mexico Market,
follow signs to Campground
Caution - it's very easy to drive by the road to Buttonwood; Chrysler Dealer is before Mexico Mart on the right. Road (300'+/-) after Mexico Mart to Buttonwood Y's off to the right. There is a sign with an arrow, though the last few years its been some what obstructed by brush. The road is narrow through the neighborhood. At the end of the road turn right and Buttonwood is on your right.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For people planning to take Rt. 11 through Northumberland to Rt. 15, the Rt. 11 underpass just west of Northumberland will be closed from June 2nd through June 23rd. You'll need to find an alternative route to bypass the closed underpass.
