    Oak Lake RV Resort

    We came for a weekend… Stayed nearly 2 weeks! Oak Lake RV Resort is where family memories are made.

    6 people, 1 pup & a 44.4' Keystone Sprinter... Oak Lake RV Resort handled it all with ease & gave us the BEST camping trip ever! From the moment you drive up, staff are waiting in golf carts to guide you to your site & even help with setup. We were nervous about fitting our big rig, but pull-through site #17 made it flawless. Where else does that??

    We originally booked August 22–25, extended to the 29th & then lucked into staying through Labor Day weekend. We canceled our other plans because Oak Lake had everything we wanted & more!!Pond swimming & obstacle course, movies on our inflatable screen, golf cart glow parades, s’mores, homemade campfire pizzas & endless family memories. The kids are still raving about it!

    Rebecca deserves a huge shoutout for going above & beyond! Tom & Marianne, the owners, are amazing hosts who clearly pour their hearts into making Oak Lake special. Even the coin operated laundry was a lifesaver & convinced us we need a washer/dryer in our camper for future impromptu stays 😂.

    We’re already talking about being put on the list for a seasonal site for next year bc we know we’ll be back again & again. Oak Lake RV Resort is Newton County’s hidden gem!!! If you’re searching for fun, hospitality & true family camping memories... THIS is the place!! Hands down, every time.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Clean & Spacious

    We pulled in around 4:30 in the evening. The sight was spacious with plenty of room in between sites. Since the weather was cooler , it was pretty sparse with other campers. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. You are within walking distance to the beach within the park. The buildings have great architecture. The sight had 50 amp electric hook ups but no water or sewer connections, and we knew that going in. We had a back in sight #69. There was plenty of space on all sides. We have a 37’ motorhome and pulled a Jeep behind it. There was plenty of room to maneuver around. The sight also had a wood picnic table and fire ring for a wood fire pit. We will definitely be back! I wish I had taken more photos from the beach and beach pavilion.

    Michigan City Campground

    Great campground, will return

    This is a beautifully kept campground just outside Michigan City, IN. It is gated so will need to call in once you arrive to enter. We stayed  in the premium sites which were 90ft pull thought with 50A service, water and sewer, and the best wifi I have seen at a campsite. The cement patio was large with a picnic table and an adjacent fire pit. There is swimming pool and a game room, and a small store with the essentials, and propane.

    You are close to Indiana Dunes and the downtown area of Michigan city. Good food, shops are close by. 

    By the way there are a number of cabins/mini homes to rent.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Easy camping

    You gotta love Indiana dunes national lakeshore! A quick drive from chicago this campsite is a real good place to get away from the city and enjoy the outdoors. It’s one of my favorite places to go within an hour’s drive. The campsite has everything you need. Modern bathrooms and showers, running water. Good for tent camping. It’s clean and a quick drive to a quiet beach at Beverly Shores. I highly recommend!

    Lakeshore Camp Resort

    One step above WALMART

    This campground hosts many permanent or monthly campers, as evidenced by semi permanent structures, fences etc. There is a small lake that offers swimming and fishing, but we did not use this area. It is a huge area, with 4 shower and bathroom facilities, but they were old and needed maintenance and updating. One of us was brave enough to shower there, the other one preferred to take a sponge bath in the van. Each site that we saw had electric and waste water and potable water, so this was convenient. There is a loud highway nearby. The camp is a ten minute drive from West Beach area of Indiana Dunes National Park. As we ate breakfast on the supplied picnic table, the neighbor next to us had a loud argument with another resident involving a presumed theft, and police visited.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Great campground.

    We stayed for two nights and had a great experience.  Campsites had decent privacy and  even on a Friday night, quiet hours were respected.  We were on a wheelchair accessible site which was the only one available, so there was more pavement than the other sites.

    There was a dishwashing sink which is always handy.  The bathrooms and showers were very clean, and the free showers were the best we've experienced in a campground with plenty of hot water, good water pressure, plenty of hooks and a bench. 

    Some noise from the highway and the trains, but I like trains so it was fine.  We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Nice layout and a ton of nature activities

    The state park is located within the boundaries of the Indiana Dunes National Park (formerly National Lakeshore), so don't get confused by this. There also is a national park campground, but it's closed in the winter.)

    This state park has a nice layout because the sites seem to be staggered so that they don't back up to each other. Also, there is a good buffer space behind the sites and decent space between each site. 

    All sites have 20- 30- and 50-amp service available, plus almost all are a combination of a concrete pad and asphalt apron. Note that just because they're paved doesn't mean all of them are level. Each site has a fire pit and it appeared they all have grill grates on them.

    One nice touch is that some sites have wider asphalt aprons so if you have a longer rig, you can put your towing vehicle or your towed vehicle off to the side once your rig is in place. Also, the ADA sites are nicely laid out with larger concrete pads so that even the fire pits are in the concrete section for ease of access. 

    Note that after Nov. 1, the water is shut off and bathrooms are shut down until spring, although there are vault toilets available. 

    You will hear a pretty regular stream of train whistles at this campground, but they aren't so loud as to be disruptive. 

    You can hike to the 1929 Dunes Pavilion and a large beach on Lake Michigan. The best hiking activity, however, and also easily accessible by walking from the campground, is the series of dune trails. The Nature Center, which sits between the campground and the trails, has some good visitor's information about the dunes, the flora and fauna, and the history of the area. 

    Once you finish seeing what you want in the state park, there's still the entire national park to see. Plus, there's a multi-use trail that runs for 9 miles along the state park and into the national park. 

    Cell service for Verizon was two bars but speeds seem to be good. Less signal and speed for Google Fi, but not terrible.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Favorite campground in the dunes

    This is seriously my favorite campground. My family and I have been camping here for more than ten years. We have camped in the walk-ins and the drive-up spots.

    The sites are private and the bathrooms are super duper clean. Showers are great.

    You can take the train from downtown Chicago and get off at the Beverly Shores stop on the south shore line. The campsite is seriously a quarter mile walk from the stop.

    There is an awesome gas station at the corner where you can get coffee and donuts in the morning. Ice and beverages during the day and soft serve ice serve ice cream at night. There are also two wood stove pizza trucks next to the gas station.

    There is a nice sandy beach one mile walking distance through an amazing prairie. Great walk at night back from the beach after watching the sunset. Very romantic.

    Plenty if things to do in the area. Lots of pick your own berry patches and kayaking spots.

    Tippecanoe River State Park Campground

    Nice place to get closer to nature—be ready for plenty of mosquitoes.

    Friendly staff, very beautiful drive underneath the canopy to the campsites, variety of sites to choose from. Our site (64) was both pretty spacious and right on the tree line, had a fire pit, grill and electric. Size of sites seemed to differ as well as sizes of the grills. Some sites were also more secluded than others. Overall was a nice place to visit, just beware of how many mosquitoes there are. Obviously we’re in nature and a wooded area so bugs are normal, however we were shocked to see how many mosquitoes were swarming our vehicle before we even stepped out. Lots and lots of bug spray being reapplied seemed to do the trick for me, but my boyfriend still got bit excessively. Definitely bring an extra can of bug spray if you’re staying here! That was the biggest drawback for us but park rangers also came around several times throughout our stay spraying mosquito repellent out of trucks to keep them at bay so that definitely helped. I also read that Tippecanoe river is known to have local river otters, however after getting there it was clear that this was more rare to sight otters here and that there weren’t very many (easily accessible) places to view the river. There was a boat launch/otter picnic area, but all the other access points to the river seemed to be through hiking trails, same as the fire tower and we just weren’t up for it with all of the mosquitoes unfortunately. That being said, we were visiting in a pretty humid time, the bugs could’ve just been really bad while we were there, hopefully others reading will have better luck! If bugs aren’t a bother for you, this is definitely a good campground to connect with nature, many different trails and lots of birds to watch.


Guide to Crown Point

Campers visiting Crown Point, Indiana can experience a mix of woodland and lakeside camping opportunities within a one-hour drive radius. The area features several freshwater lakes with elevations averaging 700 feet above sea level, creating moderate humidity levels during summer camping season. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, making most non-glamping facilities seasonal operations from April through October.

What to do

Water activities at Dunewood Campground: Located in Indiana Dunes National Park, the nearby Lake Michigan shoreline provides swimming access during summer months. "The closest beach within the national park is Kimmel Beach which is beautiful. There are some biting horseflies at the beach, but not at the campground," notes Katie O., highlighting natural elements to prepare for.

Hiking the dune trails: Indiana Dunes State Park Campground offers multiple trail difficulties through sand dunes and wooded areas. "The 3 dune challenge is not really a challenge if you are moderately healthy but it is fun and scenic! The cool soft sand feels fantastic, definitely best hiked barefoot," explains Greg S., describing the tactile experience.

Mountain biking adventures: Camp Bullfrog Lake provides extensive trail systems for cyclists. "The mountain bike trails were awesome. If you're a trail rider, you must stay here. The lack of shade won't matter because you'll be riding all day. There are miles and miles of trails," writes Tim K., emphasizing the extensive riding options.

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing access, with Tippecanoe River State Park featuring river fishing. "I've not camped here, just gone for hikes but the hikes are okay. They aren't really anything special and aren't really well marked either. There is a firetower, which is fun for the kids and the hike to get there is short," says Kaley A.

What campers like

Site privacy and layout: Many campers appreciate the strategic positioning at certain campgrounds. "The campsite was large and beautiful. The restroom area was clean and had soap and dryers. Lots of nature, chill vibe," reports Veronica S. about Dunewood Campground, noting both the generous spacing and amenity quality.

Modern bathroom facilities: Michigan City Campground receives consistent praise for clean facilities. "This is a beautifully kept campground just outside Michigan City, IN. It is gated so will need to call in once you arrive to enter. We stayed in the premium sites which were 90ft pull thought with 50A service, water and sewer, and the best wifi I have seen at a campsite," shares Craig C.

Security features: Gated entries and attentive staff provide peace of mind at some locations. "Gated campground so not just anyone can come in, very clean and a nice pool," notes Shane M. about Michigan City Campground, highlighting the controlled access system.

Yurt camping options: For those interested in yurt camping near Crown Point, Indiana, Oak Lake RV Resort offers circular canvas structures with solid flooring. "Staff was extremely helpful as this was our first trip with the new camper. Was very quiet. Clean shower and bathroom," shares Preston H.

What you should know

Train noise challenges: Several campgrounds experience railroad disturbances. "Could hear Trains throughout the night. Great facility with showers, water fountains, and a camp sink. Great shading from trees and very green!" mentions Truly W. about Dunewood Campground, balancing the noise issue with positive facility comments.

Seasonal campground limitations: Most non-glamping campgrounds operate from April through October. Tippecanoe River State Park Campground is open year-round but with weather considerations. "Worst place for mosquitoes," cautions Rob H., indicating summer pest issues to prepare for.

Site variations and selection: Campground layouts vary significantly across the region. "The best sites are site 1- right on the main drag, but the most private site in the place. If you enjoy watching the rigs come in & leave, this is your site! Vegetation separates you from site 2. Site 58 is the only pull through in the campground," advises Cynthia K. about Tippecanoe River State Park.

Variable cell service: Coverage differs by location and carrier. "I have AT&T service and could not use my phone at all, my husband has Verizon and had no problems with cell service," reports Monica C. from Tippecanoe River State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground proximity: Select sites with direct access to play areas. "For the playground, sites 2,3,4,6,&7 have direct access to a playground& you can watch your children from your site. All the interior sites by comfort station B have direct access to the playground from your site & you can watch your children from your site," recommends Cynthia K. about Tippecanoe River State Park.

Swimming options: Camp Bullfrog Lake offers controlled swimming environments. "The kayaks are $15 and hour and include life vests. The lake is pretty small but it was fun to putter around," shares Layla P., noting the affordable water recreation.

Educational experiences: Several parks offer ranger programs. "We camped here at least 2 times per year and have only had good experiences. Clean facilities, good hikes and good campsites (either in the woods or out of the woods). Highly recommend," writes Dane S. about Camp Sullivan.

Tips from RVers

Hookup variations: Water access differs significantly between campgrounds. "We paid more than I wanted but they've got a sweet deal with their proximity to the solidly booked national park. We arrived on July 5th, and the pool had just been shocked (good) so we couldn't use it (bad), can't speak to that," notes Grant M. about Michigan City Campground.

Premium site benefits: Oak Lake RV Resort provides exceptional service for larger rigs. "We came for a weekend... Stayed nearly 2 weeks! From the moment you drive up, staff are waiting in golf carts to guide you to your site & even help with setup. We were nervous about fitting our big rig, but pull-through site #17 made it flawless," shares Nadiehsda B., highlighting the exceptional RV accommodations.

Water tank management: Indiana Dunes State Park Campground requires planning for water needs. "It is electric only but that didn't really bother us- we just showed up with the water tank full and other tanks empty and enjoyed ourselves," explains Greg S., offering practical water management advice.
