Best Campgrounds near Bremen, IN

677 Reviews

Several campground options surround Bremen, Indiana, including Pla-Mor Campground and Ruperts Resort Campground directly in Bremen, and Maple Ridge Campground just a few miles away in Lakeville. The camping landscape encompasses established campgrounds with full amenities for tent and RV camping, as well as properties offering cabin accommodations. Most facilities in this region operate seasonally from April through October, with very few remaining open year-round. Potato Creek State Park in North Liberty, approximately 15 miles from Bremen, represents one of the larger natural areas for camping with nearly 300 sites.

Campground amenities vary significantly throughout the region, with most offering electric hookups, water, and sewer connections for RVs. "Campgrounds are setup to for two pull through a side by side with shared yard in the middle," noted one visitor about Maple Ridge Campground. The majority of established sites provide picnic tables, fire rings, and access to showers and toilets. Many campgrounds experience seasonal flooding during spring, particularly after heavy rainfall. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though coverage may vary at more rural locations. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for summer weekends and holidays when facilities reach capacity.

Family-oriented amenities feature prominently in Bremen-area campgrounds. Pla-Mor Campground includes swimming pools, miniature golf courses, playgrounds, and fishing opportunities that receive consistent praise in visitor reviews. Maple Ridge Campground maintains weekend activities specifically designed for children, including tractor rides and organized games. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "Owner operator campground where the family knows how to cater to the kids. Multiple activities on Saturday included tractor ride, kids bingo, and elephant ears." While Potato Creek State Park offers more natural surroundings with hiking and biking trails, beaches, and boat rentals, sites tend to have less privacy between neighbors. Most campgrounds in the area prioritize amenities over seclusion, making them better suited for social camping experiences rather than private retreats.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Campground Indiana Dunes

    We camped here on our way to Minnesota. The campsite had the typical amenities like a picnic table and a fire pit. The campground was clean and it was quiet. The bathroom was a bit outdated, but clean. The mosquitoes were horrible. It was almost impossible to sit outside in the evening. Overall, it was a nice campground with spacious sites. It was not a long car ride at all to Lake Michigan.

    Warren Dunes State Park Campground

    Nice Campground But Spendy

    Nice campground with easy access to dunes and lake, but the nightly fee for a motorhome with electric only (no water) was $60 a night. Quite a bit higher than we would typically go for, but other campgrounds in the area were shut down for the season. The spaces are small but it wasn’t too crowded, bathrooms and showers were very clean.

    Michigan City Campground

    66$ for a good overnight!

    Staying here started off as a last minute thing as we’re driving through and made no arrangements for overnight lodging. With our rooftop tent, staying here was no problem! There was water hookups and electricity if desired, although we didn’t use them.

    The shower/Bathroom situation is actually fairly nice for a campground! The water pressure was great, and the hot water was amazing.

    I do recommend this place, however, few things to know: the campground space is tight. You will be pretty close to people around you, many with kids. It seems kind of like a family retreat type of location and honestly? It’s a whole vibe and if that’s for you, then this place is too!
