Bitely is an unincorporated community within Newaygo County. It is within Lilley Township about one mile west of M-37 in the Manistee National Forest. It is near Bitely Lake, Lamoreaux Lake, Isaac Lake and several smaller lakes. It was a station on the Chicago & Western Michigan Railroad (later the Pere Marquette, then the Chesapeake and Ohio, now Marquette Rail) in 1889, and given a post office on September 13, 1889, with Archer D. Martin as its first postmaster. Named for Steven Bitely, who built a sawmill here, but the post office was always spelled Biteley. The elevation is 861 feet above sea level.
