"There’s tons of trails to do along the lakeshore and none are really far from one another. I grew up in NWI so I didn’t camp in Indiana often but I did here and loved it!"
"General: Dunewood campground is located within Indiana Dunes National Park, established in 2019 (The national seashore was established in the 1960s)."
$55 - $160 / night

$35 - $200 / night
"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."
"Nature trails and of course Cedar Lake. People seemed friendly."

"A lake with water rentals, floating water slide, playgrounds and sport courts, general store with the stardust’s “convenience mark-ups”,and water/ electric at all sites."
"We were there the week before peak season opened so none of the pools or splash pads were open, but they were very accommodating so that we could still play mini golf and ride around on the pedal cars."
TravelerI'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.
ScoutJust beautiful piece full with nature
Scout25$ a night no electric much but a park pass also for 25$
ScoutReally enjoyed this campground. Sites are pretty close to each other, but neighbors were quiet. Beautiful little lake. Bathrooms were warm and clean. There’s also a little store on site that was open until 10:00 PM. Firewood was still wet and hard to burn.
ScoutNot a bad spot. Average and relatively inexpensive.
TravelerWe stayed in the Chippewa Campground in early October.
Pros:
- Large trees provided a high shade canopy and an open feel
- Well maintained open-grass layout
- Spacious campsites, similar to other IL State Parks we've stayed at
- Quiet (when we visited)
- Boat ramp is accessible via trail or a short drive away
- Another boat ramp about 3 miles downriver makes a gorgeous through-paddle possible
- Many miles (7ish?) of riverside paved trail for jogging, walking, or biking adjacent to campsite
Cons:
- We liked no brush because it gave the campground an open feel. But if you were looking for privacy, you won't get it from the layout
- Some sites had fewer trees than others and might not be able to accommodate e.g. hammocks, market lights, etc. We picked one with a good setup of surrounding trees
- BYO watercraft, no watercraft concession
- No riverside campsites a-la Illini State Park etc
Overall: Great state park to serve as a base for a point-to-point paddle. Great fall colors.
TravelerDrove by looked like it was a factory all around pretty shady not my bag baby lol
ScoutStaff was extremely helpful as this was our first trip with the new camper. Was very quiet. Clean shower and bathroom.
ScoutWe booked a month stay but weren’t able to stay over 2 weeks because water is so horrible. Our cat got diarrhea, clothes got ruined, you can’t even make tea with that water. But everything else was good. Nice helpful staff, clean, quiet rv park.
