ScoutIt was nice camping here. There is an asphalted road leading right to the campsites. The hot, adjustable showers are perfect. The sites are made of gravel paved with sand, which makes them perfectly flat. I liked that.
TravelerStaying through the week just on the outside of Labor Day Weekend. This place was perfect for us to come over and get away from it and enjoy the changing weather. Electric only sites, and the staff were friendly. Always enjoy coming here for good hiking and beach time.
LegendWe had an overnight stay here during some pretty nasty weather. Site 7 was perfect as it has a very wide concrete landing pad that kept us from trudging around our site in mud. Flooded roads resulted in a road race being diverted through the park. We were able to cheer them on while having dinner at our campfire. There’s a paved walkway around the circumference of the campground which allows you to take a nice stroll. Trails to the lake are easily accessible. The bathrooms and showers were clean, although a bit dated. We had a pleasant evening.
GuideWow! What a State Park inside the National Park! Spacious, beautiful, and a big surprise on Lake Michigan South East. Indiana. Towering trees, San dunes, marshland, and fifteen miles of beach shore parklands. If you haven’t been, go! This is a year round play land. Camping is surrounded by forest, electric only, bathrooms/showers ((vault and flush), and clean for state park standards. Bring your, bikes, kayaks, beach attire, and hiking boots for spring, summer, and fall. Bring snowshoes and cross country skis in winter.
TravelerSuper accessible and affordable National Park camping! Easy access to all the Dunes, and varying level of amenities for different rigs. I just spent one night here but I wish I spent longer. Only downside is you need to pack extra bug spray for the summer mosquitoes!!
GuideThis campground has lots of spaces, but fills up quickly so plan ahead. It has clean restrooms, dump and water, but no electricity. Mosquitoes and gnats were very bad and it was very humid, so nights were challenging. Had to leave windows shut and quiet hours, so no generator. Reasonably priced and campground hosts to their jobs very seriously.
TravelerSuper great here, some bugs, people were quiet
TravelerTrailer 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.
ScoutChris likes to run a tight ship, but she has a good heart. There are so many activities in the summer for kids it’s non stop action and for the adults it’s usually just a chill by the fire or lakeside kind of of place. I’m a heavy sleeper so the highway traffic doesn’t bother me one bit!

Water activities at Dunewood Campground: Located in Indiana Dunes National Park, the nearby Lake Michigan shoreline provides swimming access during summer months.

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.
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.

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.

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.
