    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Beverly Shores, Indiana provides access to several established campgrounds within Indiana Dunes National Park and nearby state parks. Dunewood Campground serves as the primary camping area inside the national park boundaries, offering tent and RV sites without electrical hookups. Nearby Indiana Dunes State Park Campground provides additional camping with modern facilities including electric hookups and showers. Both tent and RV camping are widely available, with some cabin options at private campgrounds like Michigan City Campground and Sand Creek Campground. The Central Avenue Walk-in Sites offer a more primitive tent-only experience within the national park for those seeking a quieter stay.

    Camping in the Beverly Shores area operates primarily from spring through fall, with some facilities closing between October and April. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during peak summer months when Lake Michigan beaches attract high visitor numbers. The Dunewood Campground features flush toilets, drinking water, and sanitary dump stations but no electrical hookups or showers. Visitors report occasional noise from nearby railroad tracks that may affect light sleepers. A visitor commented, "Campgrounds within the park were nice, but you can hear trains throughout the night."

    Camping near the Lake Michigan shoreline remains the primary draw for visitors to the region. Several campgrounds provide direct beach access or are situated within a short drive of swimming areas and dune hiking trails. The Central Avenue Walk-in Sites receive particularly high ratings for privacy and proximity to beaches. According to one visitor, "The spot was clean. It's far enough off the trail that it provides plenty of privacy. The walk to the beach was not too long." Campers frequently mention the contrast between developed amenities at the larger campgrounds and the more secluded, primitive experience at walk-in sites. The surrounding area features unique dune ecosystems, wetlands, and forest habitats that create diverse camping environments within a relatively small geographic area.

      Good campground, but right on the highway

      The campground is right off of US-30 and IN-23 so pretty convent other than due to construction on 30 right now. But being right off of a major US highway it can be a little noisy. Short term sites are just grass but pretty close to level side to side. Think I had to raise door side like an inch. Water pressure was okay but drops during the day. At about 600 PM I was struggling to get more than 40psi even with regulator all the way open. I don’t think it is worth $65 a night but there are more expensive options closer to Plymouth

      Lakeshore Camp Resort

      looks like a dump at first glance but found out it’s storm damage

      Trailer was nice plenty to do. A lot of seasonal sites. was a pleasant enough stay. Looks like a converted Yogi Bear campground. A lot of storm damage around the campground. Pools were clean, bathrooms and shower houses are a bit dated but clean. They are about every 5 rows/streets. You can rent golf carts which seems the main mode of transportation. Nice rowboat lake with a beach for swimming. Small fast food restaurant small menu weird hours and more expensive that your normal fast food places. All in all it was a nice place and activities are plenty close to Chicago and one of the closest, also very close to the Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan.

      Thousand Trails Bear Cave

      Nice clean campground

      The sites were easy to park, the staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the mushrooms we found in May. We plan to go back some day. Nice town area close by for shopping.

      Central Avenue Walk-in Sites — Indiana Dunes National Park

      Beautiful but Needs Some Love

      We stayed a Thursday and Friday night in July 2026 on site 1. We did need to head to the Welcome Center for a piece of paper to display on your dash so that we can park in the parking lot. There isn't a National Park entrance to access the site, you just park in a parking lot that a park ranger at the visitors center told us was owned and operated by the town and not the park service. There was an area of reserved parking for those camping at the walk-in sites. 

      There is a decent sandy hill that you need to go up to access the site, which really wasn't bad. The site itself was heavily wooded and secluded. It is fairly sandy, but there was a nice spot to set up the tent that was grassy. The mosquitos were aggressive, but a little Deep Woods Off and they left us along mostly. We got to the site and there was trash and cigarette butts scattered around that we had to clean up. I discovered the first night that a contributing factor to some of the trash is most likely a sizeable and bold raccoon that was not afraid of us, and both nights came wandering into our campsite looking for food while we were sitting there.

      Additionally, the fire pit has probably not been cleaned out in years, since it was filled to the top with ash. With this being a wooded site, this could increase the risk of a fire getting out of the pit. 

      We were at site 1, so heading to the port-o-potty was fine and it was well kept. The beach was about 3-5 minutes walking. However, the bathrooms and outdoor shower were all "Closed for the Season". There were a couple port-o-pottys there, but they were not in as good of shape as the one near the campground. There was also a ton of trash in that bathroom building area, which was disappointing to see.

      Wonder Woods Campground of the Sister Lakes

      Hidden Gem in SW Michigan!

      We booked a last minute spot and are so glad we did! The campground wonderfully maintained by perhaps the nicest hosts we have met! We pulled in early Friday evening and were greeted by Ken and Chris, who helped us pull into our site (which was VERY appreciated since the sites are pretty tight!). There are a lot of seasonal sites, four cabins, and a guest house that is tucked behind a privacy fence. Bathrooms were extremely clean and looked newly renovated. They even had a basket of toiletries and a stack of clean towels. Though we didn’t use it, there was a cool open air “game barn” that had a pool table, foosball, seating area, etc…it would be a great hangout for older kids or teenagers. Probably the best part was the walkability. There is lake access directly across the street down a set of concrete stairs. It’s a grassy area, not a “beach” and a lot of goose poop so we brought our chairs down. You can enter the lake to cool off, which was great because it was a hot day. Also walkable are two restaurant/breweries. “The Strand” is literally next door to the campground with a great outdoor seating area with a view of the lake. About a 5 minute walk is Sister Lakes Brewing Company. Both places had excellent cocktails and cool lake vibes. Full hookups at all sites. We look forward to coming back!!!

      Hildebrandt Campground — Warren Dunes State Park

      Sand Dunes

      We were here over Memorial Day weekend and it was crowded but still nice. Spacing between sites was nice, lots of trees for privacy.

      Camp store was nice and stocked with plenty even on a busy weekend.

      Dune hikes are amazing and access to Lake Michigan if you climb over the dunes.

      Shamrock Park

      Simple camping

      Stayed here over the 4th of July. Very small campground, about 124 sites. Well cared for and friendly staff. Not too many amenities; basketball court, ping pong, and volleyball. No pool and no camp store. Sites were a bit close but it was a very peaceful campground. Would visit again.
