With 350 sites spread across a large property, Lakeshore Camp Resort operates seasonally from mid-May through September in Portage, Indiana. The private campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome on the grounds.
The campground sits close to major highways, creating constant road noise that several campers mention in reviews. Sites are tightly spaced, with some reviewers noting their RV tailgates nearly touch adjacent site pads. The property hosts many seasonal and permanent residents, evidenced by semi-permanent structures and fenced areas throughout the grounds. Golf carts are common transportation, though they kick up dust clouds on the gravel pathways.
A small lake provides swimming and fishing opportunities, with some campers catching fish despite noting garbage along the shoreline. The property includes multiple pools, though reviews indicate they can reach capacity quickly during busy periods. A camp store stocks basic supplies, and amenities include four shower and bathroom facilities, though several reviewers describe these as dated and in need of maintenance. Ed B. notes "All the amenities were working, the staff was very nice and accommodating."
The campground charges $49-57 per night, which some visitors consider expensive given the condition of facilities. Road access is straightforward, though maneuvering larger RVs into some sites can prove challenging. The location provides convenient access to Indiana Dunes National Park, about ten minutes away by car. WiFi is available but signal strength varies across the property.
This resort works best for families seeking amenities like pools and lake access who don't mind close quarters and highway noise. Campers wanting quiet, nature-focused experiences will likely find better matches at campsites near Portage.
