The sites are nice and restrooms are clean just wish something can be done
The campsites and bathroom are nice just no way around the traffic

There are no reservations, so get there early to get yourself a spot! There are a lot fewer campsites than RV sites.
The park is close to me so I use it a lot for hiking and relaxing on the beach. Most of the hiking trails are on the dunes, which makes for a great work out. I use it more in the winter because the summers are busy. The campground is ok. There arent a lot of sites and they r a little close together for my liking but the park is clean and so r the bathrooms.










Lots of fairly close camp sites. Most have electric. There are a bunch of raccoons at night and they are bold. Make sure your food is locked up or it will get snatched. The dunes are a fun hike and the beach is a nice place to take the kids during the day.
If you don't have kids, it's a fun getaway where you can camp and then there are a few towns with breweries fairly close to.go explore as well.
this is a pretty great camp area if you can get a spot. they tend to fill up fast. Also, a lot of kids so if you’re looking for peace and quiet camping this isn’t your place to go. great for families though!

the campsites within the park were clean and more than suitable. beach access to the lake is within a quarter mile or so from the campgrounds comma in the lake view from that beach is fantastic. The park gets a three-star review from me, solely based on the restriction of alcohol within the park.

Campgrounds within the park were nice. Alcohol is not allowed at all within campground.

its a nice place to visit. They have areas that are no longer allowed to walk on. Its a nice walk in the trails and along the beach. if you are in the area please go.
Extremely nice sites with ample space between. Offers quiet privacy with very nice bathrooms and free spacious showers. Did I mention the price - far less than one would expect. The lakeshore is beautiful and clean and the sandy beaches were made for walking.
Loved the camp ground. Visited in May. Not as quiet between sites since there were no leaves on the trees yet. Each site had plenty of space and each site was very different. Our camping area was set back from the parking area which was nice. The bathrooms were clean and there was a sink for cleaning dishes on the outside of the bathroom building. Bummer that you can't reserve ahead of time but was also kind of nice because you could really see the site before reserving it. The reason for 4 stars was the lack of personnel available. The registration is thru an ATM like system. Didn't see a single ranger or anyone doing rounds during our visit, but the headquarters are near so someone probably could be called. Overall this wouldn't be an issue but there was two bus loads of college kids that came up and went to walk in sites. Needless to say, they thru quite the party. One of the other campers went around 2 am to tell them to quiet down. Not sure how often this is likely to happen but with no personnel to monitor, I could see this happening a lot. There are camp hosts, but none were there either. If given the chance, I would absolutely return to this camp ground.



Pros: This campground is very quiet, and very private with lots of shade and privacy plants. The bath/shower houses were very modern and clean, and the showers were free! I would say the facilities were some of the best I've ever encountered in a campground.
Cons: You'll pay for the privacy/quiet in this campground; because there is so much thick plant undergrowth, the bugs in this campground were the worst I've encountered in my life. There was not a time during the entire day where I wasn't eaten alive by mosquitoes, and the bugs were so loud at night I actually had to use earplugs because I thought the sound was going to drive me to madness. If you stay here, please, PLEASE take my advice and bring a lot of insect spray, and mosquito netting (in the form of suits or a tent) if you plan to hang outside at the campsite at all.
Other general notes: When I visited they would not accept reservations, but I was there the last weekend in August and had no problem getting a site mid-afternoon. You have to pay by electronic kiosk, so have a credit card ready. And while the place is private, not 10 minutes away is a 24-hour Walmart if you need emergency supplies (or a 4 am trip to forget about the bugs!), which is really helpful in a pinch. The campground is also fairly close to Michigan City, which is a great area with lots of brew-houses, pubs, and restaurants.

We had such a great time at our site for the Questival event in Chicago! Although it was a short stay, we enjoyed the campfire and atmosphere with fellow Questivvalians

Easy check-in with first come first serve. The campsite proximity to the lake and all the dunes have to offer is awesome! And super close to the big city.
Right near the beach, everything you need is close, staff is nice, and it's affordable
A quick overnight stay while #questival ing
Site was very nice. Downsides are you can clearly hear the high way and trains when they go by. Also, it's. It actually at the dunes so you have to drive over there to visit them.
our visit to the Indiana Sandune's campground was great. We were able to get in there anytime in the automated that ticket service was really helpful. All the campgrounds are big and spacious.

(:
Indiana Dunes State Park near Chesterton, In is a nice, well kept Campground. Modern facilities that are clean and well maintained. Gate attendants that are polite, knowledgeable and professional.
One issue...poor ole Lake Michigan is having some problems with E. coli. No swimming allowed while we were there. They check the water for levels of toxins etc. and post the information. But to me, even if it squeaked by as acceptable, do I really want to be swimming in it?!
The beach is beautiful, sand white and foliage is green. We enjoyed the walks to the beach but steered totally clear of any water. Climbed up the backside of Devils Slide and enjoyed the boardwalk trail. Eternal the campground and beach. Got sand in all those places you really don't want it.
The campground sites are close and the site we were in had little shade but it was level, bear the showerhouse and drained well when an over night storm started.














this park is right down the road from us. it is great. great beach and dunes to climb with a very clean campground.




We had a great time! Park is clean, bathrooms/showers clean, host was nice & friendly..... Pack bug spray Lots of Mosquitoes!!

Great sites good fire pits. The spots are close together. The washrooms where clean. Tons of trails and lots of dunes to climb
I wouldn't return to this campsite but it had everything we needed


Calm lake during August. With slight breeze. Plenty of bathroom facilities. Porta potties. Pathways for family friendly hikes and strolls

Lots of state/national lands here but also some private areas so be careful when you’re out wandering the beach. There are showers but otherwise very basic. Neither the beach area nor the wooded section is very private.
This is a really gorgeous place to stay. The beach is wonderful, there is lots of room, although it does get crowded. And, of course the sand dunes make this a unique destination from other places. I would definitely recommend it!




Wonderful state park on shore of Lake Michigan. Weekend blows up with people but is manageable. Great place to ride bikes; they had a swim beach but we did not take advantage of it. Plenty of hiking trails (3 dune challenge is a must!). Nice visitor's center too! Definitely check this place out!




Workers were cleaning up the debris on the campsite. Unfortunately the bathrooms were locked so we have used porta-potties that did not have hand sanitizer. There was glass and bottles in the sand in some parts. But other than that the sand was really warm and soft for the most part




I enjoyed my recent two night stay at this campground for a vintage camper rally. Sites were clean, spacious, hookups were great and the restrooms/ showers were excellent. Very pretty place- not a lot of privacy so if seclusion is what you're after you may want to skip this one. Otherwise, fantastic!




Pulling into the campground made me feel like I was in a beautiful oasis. The trees were really lush and the campsites felt private even though they were in the same area. All of the sites are rustic, but there is a bathroom with showers. There are also some walk in sites and a parking area for it if you want to feel a little more like you are in the back country. There is also a camp store near the entrance if you need to restock anything. The only thing that I could say is a negative is that the beach isn't right there. It's about 1.5 miles away, but it's so close that it's not a problem. Highly recommend!
Also, on this trip, I got to try out one of my prizes from the June contest from Montana, a Buff headwear piece! I got a few with my Buff gift card, but my favorite is the slim fit. Before purchasing a Buff, I had a similar product and didn't know if the Buff would be any better than what I had. (Maybe not so) surprisingly, it was! It stayed on my head better and the material felt softer and higher quality. I usually wear it as a headband, but there's a ton of different ways to suit a lot of activities. And at only $20, it's definitely worth the money!
