325 Reviews

Cabin rentals near Hobart, Indiana include Lakeshore Camp Resort, Michigan City Campground, and Cedar Lake Ministries RV Park, all offering log cabin accommodations for weekend getaways. Most cabins provide basic furnishings with electricity, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Michigan City Campground maintains cabins year-round with heating and air conditioning systems, while other properties operate seasonally. Cedar Lake cabins feature lakefront locations with access to water recreation. "We stayed on site 27, sites are full hookup up, there's a nice bathhouse which has a key pad handle which made me feel safe while showering. You have access to the perks of the conference grounds including access to a small private beach on the lake, canoes and kayaks."

Rustic cabin options predominate at Sand Creek Campground and Lake O' The Woods Club, where simple accommodations provide shelter without full indoor plumbing. Warren Dunes State Park Campground offers KOA-style cabins with more complete furnishings, though availability remains limited during peak summer months.

A camper described Sand Creek as "a quiet and beautiful campground, we were treated very kindly! Grounds are wooded and well kept."

Kitchen facilities vary widely—some cabins include refrigerators and microwaves while others offer only outdoor cooking options on fire rings or grills. Several campgrounds maintain on-site camp stores where basic provisions can be purchased. Camp Sullivan and Camp Bullfrog Lake include market facilities for food and camping supplies. Potato Creek State Park Campground cabins are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor dining. Camp Shabbona Woods features cabin accommodations with shared bathroom facilities and showers located in central buildings rather than within individual units.

    Tippecanoe River State Park Campground

    Very good state park and cabin campground

    We visited this park twice (once in Sept 2020 and again in June 2021).  Both times we stayed in the cabin campground and both times had very good experiences.  Each time we went mid-week so there was hardly anyone else there, and that was great.  The cabins are small but perfectly fine for our group with two bunk beds, a small loft, and a small table inside.  They have electricity so charging phones and devices is not a problem.   Cabins 4 and 5 are up this small driveway and are slightly separated and I would recommend those if you can.  We never had to go to "town" so not sure how far it is to any stores.

    Each time we rented a canoe and did a paddle/float trip on the river that ended at the canoe rental location.  Would not hesitate to stay here again.

    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.

    Tippecanoe River State Park Campground

    Clean and quiet

    Although we would normally wait until the last minute to book a site, we booked early this time, and were glad that we did. All tent sites were reserved a week before our trip, so best to plan ahead. We chose sites 4, 5, and 6 to accommodate our group of 7. Each site had morning shade only, and the shade from the forest to the east of the sites closed in around 5 p.m. This campsite allows up to 2 tents per site, but it was nice to spread out a bit. We chose the sites that we did expecting to have a view of the river, but the maps are misleading– there is no river view, although it’s only a few feet to the river. It’s probably for the best though, since there is a boat ramp that runs through the campground that gets plenty of use. Despite the fact that we had a fair amount of rain during our trip, our sites never got muddy, because the soil is very sandy. An annoyance when your feet are constantly dirty, but great when it’s a stormy weekend. The sites were a good size, complete with fire pit, grill grate, and picnic table, and the entire campground was well maintained. The pit toilets were cleaned daily and were always well stocked. The showers were also clean, HOWEVER, as a tent camper, you’re not allowed to use the showers.(?!!) I mean, really, what are we? Heathens? We were chased away until we removed the blue placard given at check-in. The Park has a lot of hiking trails, and other activities. The town of Winamac was pretty small, but there are canoe, kayak, and pontoon rentals nearby. We also saw a paintball court close by. Firewood($6/bundle) and ice($2/bag) are available at the park gate. There is a private, certified, gentleman selling dry, well-seasoned firewood about a mile or two north of the park on US 35, east side of the road. He charges$20 for more than 10 times the amount of wood provided by the park.

    Weko Beach Campground

    Great little campground

    Couple minute walk to the beautiful Lake Michigan beach. Waist deep most areas, waves can get big tho. The campgrounds beach is NOT pet friendly, but there is a flat boardwalk that takes you to a pet friendly area of beach of neighboring Warren dunes state park. Clean easy to locate water/trash/office areas. Friendly staff. They check the loops frequently and keep things tidy. Sandy but drivable roads(be careful in a washout). Flat nice sized lots. Clean bathroom/shower house! (Males and females share showers, could be concerning during busy season). Peaceful and quiet. Loved everything about our trip. (Be warned the camping lots are sand too, you will have sand everywhere! But its worth it!)

    Camp Bullfrog Lake

    Nice but very little shade

    We stayed in the primitive tent area near the back of the park. It is walk in.

    There was a pole for a lantern, a picnic table, a fire ring and tent pad. There is one clean flush toilet and shower per each gender (the shower stall was spacious with plenty of hooks and benches). There were also vault toilets not too far away. The water spigot was pretty far away though. There were plenty of garbage cans.

    There were a few small trees but very little shade. On hot days I think a pop up shade shelter would be necessary to make it bearable.

    Overall it was pretty quiet.

    The last night we were there a large group of people with their tents showed up. There were not enough tent pads or picnic tables for all of them. I don't know if it was the park that booked so many people or if it was the group that overbooked.

    Sun Aura

    Great for Newbies or Noobs

    From the start you feel welcomed. My site was small compared to other campsites. It was still big enough for our tent and a table and pit. We had to park in a nearby parking space because our site was surrounded by other sites and common area. There is no electric in "tent city" either, but it is near the roundhouse and showers. There is an outdoor shower as well. That was awesome. The events were great forLabor Day weekend. This was our first time at and adult only resort or clothing optional. The people were friendly and helpful to others. This convinced us that this is how we will camp from now on.

    Camp Bullfrog Lake

    Lovely cabins, facilities and hiking!

    I visited Palos early this week (mid-April) for a very very chilly three days. The tent sites are right next to the water which is beautiful but can get very windy. There is no privacy between the sites (no trees, etc). There are small and medium cabins, some heated with their own bathrooms, that feature bunk beds and are great for getting out of the cold. The central bathrooms are clean, heated and offer showers. The water is not yet potable so bring your own or check with the park team to ensure it's drinkable when you go. The hiking here is AWESOME with a bajillion different routes right from the campground. We hiked 10 miles and saw tons of animals and birds including a snake, loads of herons and songbirds, deer, a raccoon and a Cooper's Hawk. I will definitely be back!

    Sand Creek Campground

    Campground near the dunes

    We camped here for 3 nights to visit the Dunes National Park.

    The campground is privately owned and was almost at the end of the season. There is a check in station at the entrance.

    When we arrived we were the only tent campers, so we could pick our spot. Non of the tent sites have electricity or water. Only a few have a picnic table and /or a fire pit. It was basically just a long lawn with numbers on. Some of the sites are in the woods for more privacy.

    The RV sites have electricity and water access. Some campers are stored there over the winter months.

    The bathhouse was a little out dated but clean during our stay.

    You are surrounded by farmland, so we were greeted every morning by donkey braying. It didn't bother us. There are also noises of cars and the train coming through.

    The owners are very nice and laid back.

    The drive to the national park or state park is about 15 min. The dunes are very impressive and beautiful. If you need something, there are stores, gas stations or restaurants within 10 driving minutes.

    I think we would camp her again. No idea how it is during peak season but even with other tent campers around on the last 2 days, it was pretty quiet.

    Potato Creek State Park Campground

    Great Family Camground

    We have visited this campground twice now. The first time we stayed in one of the cabins. The cabins are large, bathroom was very clean, large screened in porch. Only con was that the cabins all share one large firepit. This past weekend we stayed in a camper. The sites were a nice size. Clean sites. Bathrooms were decent for a campground in my opinion. The kids had a great time riding bikes, playing on multiple playgrounds, and playing in the lake all day.

What to do

Beachfront activities: Warren Dunes State Park Campground provides beach access with impressive sand dunes for climbing. "Huge, beautiful dunes on the beach.

Mountain biking trails: The trail systems near cabin rentals provide varying difficulty levels. "The mountain bike trails were awesome. If you're a trail rider, you must stay here. There are miles and miles of trails. We saw several vehicles carrying top of the line bikes in and out all day," shares Tim K. about the extensive trail network at Camp Bullfrog Lake.

Swimming options: Many cabins provide swimming access via lake beaches. "We went to the dune's national park and it was awesome for swimming all day and playing in the sand for the kids," explains Monique C. who used Sand Creek Campground as a base for beach visits.

What campers like

Clean bathroom facilities: Most cabin properties maintain regularly serviced facilities. "The bathhouse was a little out dated but clean during our stay. The owners are very nice and laid back," reports Katrin M. about Sand Creek Campground, which serves as an alternative when Indiana Dunes campgrounds are full.

Proximity to Lake Michigan: Cabins provide convenient access to shorelines. "It's only 15 minutes away, and nestled into a residential area so it's a nice option.

"We found a quiet site (168) near a small playground with clean bathrooms and a camp store with a woodsy fun feel selling souvenirs, shirts, snacks, and scooter rentals," notes Richard E. about Warren Dunes State Park Campground, though he cautions about trash backup after busy weekends.
